Thanks for the heads up. I figured they would go fast. When I called him he said he had a few but I have seen a few posts saying people just bought a new one. I will be ordering a system sooner than later. Still havent decided on the Joe Z or Borla but am leaning towards the Joe z because of construction. Not sure

Having now seen/heard both in person the Joe Z is head and shoulders above the Borla in quality and sound IMO. Ask me again in a week but I voted with my wallet already.

This was exciting to see, should arrive in a couple days! Getting fitted Saturday

In regards to the caution of doing business with VIP Auto Salon I'm curious how many have had this sort of problem dealing with him/them? I actually just ordered the Joe Z system from them bc of the l-tuned website being down so of course I'm now all freaked out; which is really not what I need considering prior to ordering from them/him I tried to go through TTC Performance and that turned out to be a HUGE MISTAKE!!! Stay away, I repeat, STAY FAR FAR AWAY from TTC Performance!!! The guy basically took my money and never sent me confirmation of the order (that it was being processed or fulfilled) and after 3-4 days of multiple attempts to contact him (via phone & email) and getting no response and no update or shipping info I contacted my CC company and Paypal (which is what he was using to take payment) and notified them of the potential fraudulent charge. Shortly after I left him a final voicemail notifying him of my actions and that if I didn't hear something by COB that day I would be having them reverse the charge and taking legal action. Fortunately my money was refunded within a few minutes after leaving that voicemail but had I not called/pursued it I can only imagine how that would have ended - likely with me paying for a product I'd never receive. Really REALLY hoping you're not going to tell/share me a similar story with VIP Auto Salon.

I ordered a wald spoiler from them a few years ago when I had my first ISF. My experience was neither great or bad. I knew there was a bit of a lead time to get stuff like that from Japan so it did take like a month to get my spoiler but I did get it. Communication from them was OK from what I remember.

Got in contact with Luis at Carson and he has 5 more Joe Z exhaust coming in about 2 weeks. 3 of them are spoken for already so anyone looking should probably give him an email or call

Do you have a phone number for TTC Performance ??? I've never heard of them and they are NOT an authorized seller of our parts...!!!

Seems like a SCAMMER indeed: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/new...p-warning.html


FACT: The only authorized CL Approved vendor for our parts is Carson Toyota / Lexus Parts...

Thanks for the reply Joe. That was the exact thread that basically confirmed my suspicion and led towards my call to get them to refund my money. I sent you a msg with their number. Let me know if I can be of any further help regarding this.

We appreciate the heads up..!!

Within one hour of leaving my VM, the scammer removed the exhaust listing from their site.

I will be addressing your next concern via PM.

Thank You Again..!!
