well i know they have been around

and the wierd thing is they have the cheapest price

carson is 600 and that doesnt iclude shipping

rodmillen is 650

intense power is 520 + for shipping and the wait time they said anywhere from 2-4weeks

im in a bind

this sucks ..i hate waiting to the last minue

jonny, if they have it in stock (which is priceless), and for the best price, i say go for it. just use a credit card to have some protection. i mean, as long as its not an RMM replica, it should be ok. thats what i would do. also, maybe i missed this, but what does the rest of your kit look like?? wise front?? what sides?? good luck

maybe you should tell carson you'd rather do buisness with them and see if they'll price match or come close.

at this point, with everything going on the car theres no way you can wait 4 weeks for that bumper. i say like V said just use a credit card to be safe. and have them 2 day it..

I've had no personal dealings with the company. All I can offer is: Did you actually talk to any one at lextasy to confirm they have the item in stock? If not, I would talk to someone there to confirm ship times before placing an order.

If you need it right away I say go for it but protect yourself. If you can call them up and talk to them. I ordered my taillights from them before I found this site and they sent them to me really quick, even though the price was a little steep.

That's your best bet and at least if you use you credit card you can dispute the charges.

Try to talk to the lextasy guy (Steve) on the phone or e-mail at least and tell him to provide the tracking number within a day or two of the payment on CC. If he doesn't provide a tracking #, then just cancel the order.


Here's some interesting history on Lextasy:
I met this guy when he attended the Carson meet 4 years ago. He brought that "**** star" gal you see on his website to the meet. Needless to say, she gathered attention, but the wrong kind.

He organized the group buy on "01" tail lights on CL and I bought mine through him back then. Since then he's been banned on CL for numerous reasons. He got laid off from his job and has been doing lextasy ever since. I'm surprised he's surviving, but who knows if this is his only source of income.


So much for off topic info. Now back to your regular programming already in progress.
