Default Led side mirrors from nigel

Hey guys I'm a new member to cl. I've been fixing up a02 lexus gs430 for my son for 3 months now. Last month I seen an ad for led mirrors in stock for cl members. I ordered a painted set and was told 2 week delivery time. On the 17th I was told that they were back from painting and they would be shipped out. 2 weeks later no tracking # - no mirrors. Apparently he sent them to the wrong address. I was assured the situation would be fixed-I got an email last night asking if I would take a untainted set-even though I paid for a painted set. Mind you. I got an email at the beginning of the week saying he sent out a new order to get painted- rush job-his words. He doesn't provide a phone number(shady)so you can communicate. Macy-lexus -McDonald's all have numbers-he doesn't. Some of you guys may have had a good experience with him but mine has been worse than a trip to the dentist. He has lied to me and provided nothing but a headache. I saved all the emails just in case he comes on later saying different. I see he likes debating through the computer(girl)if you want these mirrors I suggest you cut the middle man out and order them directly from Japan -he's the middleman. Unless you want my situation to happen to you. This is just my experience

That's crazy. He said he mailed my led's to someone in Hawaii and now that person won't answer his emails or phone calls. That person was probably happy as hell to recive those mirrors. Who knows how long he was waiting

I had issues with him when ordering my window visors... ended up waiting almost a month and a half, but he did correct his mistake and I received them perfect condition; I chalked that one up to him not being familiar with shipping to APO (military) addresses. However, I did go through him when I purchased my signal mirrors and got them quickly. I've read about both positive and negative issues when purchasing from him (mainly positive), so hopefully all of your issues will get resolved. I definitely know how you feel though...

Thanks. I know stuff happens. A phone call would be nice. Waiting 24 hrs for an e mail is pathetic ,especially when you sent someone's order to the other side of the planet

I know he's not the only person who has them. This guy I bought my seat covers from told me he got his from Japan. I won't speak to him until 5 pm est time. I'm sure you could find them. Just got to do research. I'm sure someone on this forum knows
