Default L-Tuned Parts Question

Have any of you dealt with L-Tuned Parts or Carson Toyota before? I just ordered my CF Grille and Black Pearl Emblems from Gordon @ Carson Toyota. He said the grille should be in any day now and the emblems should come in sometime next week. From your guys' experience, is this accurate or do they usually say its in soon then it actually takes a long time? Any feedback on experiences with L-Tuned would be nice, thanx.

I bought my exhaust from them. Very easy to deal with, and they sent it out next day.

A+ from me

I bought countless things from them and other things I wont mention, but they took care of me everytime. Shot outs to Steve and Luis! Keep up the fan-f'ing-tastic job! And I will continue to buy from them.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It's very appreciated and exactly what pushes us to provide the best service we can. Just to let some of the other members who might not know, Gordon is the parts manager here at Carson Toyota. He has worked with Steve for 12 + yrs and will take care of your orders right away. Also we work together on almost all orders so its like 2-3 people collectively working on making sure your order is taken care of. As always if ny one has any questions please feel free to PM, email, or call anytime.

NOT CLOSED YET...

I ordered the tanabe exhaust and wire transfered the money last friday. They received it the same day and emailed to ask for confirmation on the address to ship. I replied them the next day due to the time difference here in Singapore.

However, I need to email them persistently on monday and tuesday until they reply me that the item will be shipped this week and I will receive an email once they ship.

I am not too sure whether that is good or bad, but I would expect something faster considering the fact that I paid USD380 for shipping alone.

It is the 6th day after paying and no emails yet.

A surprise informing that it is on the way would be nice... I have actually been surfing on CL for some time before going to L-tuned because of all the positive comments.

Really can't wait for the exhaust sound... can't sleep without thinking about it every night..

Hey Lim this is Cesar, I just wanted to follow up with you here. On the last email we wrote to each other I sent you email confirmation that your wire was received on Monday 08.20.07, and you sent me back your shipping address on Tuesday 08.21.07. Please check your PM as it has your tracking number already there. The exhaust was shipped out the same day you replied to my email Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
