VIP AUTO SALON is not a legit businsess according to the cali secretary of state. just a word of advice, do not patronize this business, as you will jump through flaming hoops to receive a refund if needed. i'm just speaking from experience, as i have fallen victim to vip's unscrupulous dealings. in short, i've been waiting for a jdm product and subsequent refund since may 2011. polite email correspondence has been superseded by more stringent recourse. Below are excerpts from California Secretary of State website.

I'm going to do a CJITTY here. Do a search, this has been discussed so many times before and this would help reduce the repeated threads.

I know I ordered a kit from VIP autosalon in march of 2011 and still have not received my kits. I gave them many chances but still haven't gotten anything. I jus barely got my refund only because I live by them. Apparently I didn't do a good enough search cuz most of my searches comes back to VIP autosalon. If anyone can help or send me link it would and sorry again if this is a repeat thread.

OMFG, I thought it was just people not getting their parts, but now refunds also? This business is now a scam. I have been waiting for my refund after canceling due to waiting over 7 months for some JDM visors. You guys should add your experience here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sit...n-problem.html

So my question is basic: Why does Club Lexus not take any corrective action?

I put my order in for exhaust and intake early July because VIP seemed so reputable. I'm now getting a bit worried from reading this and because I've tried to contact them numerous times by email and phone about the estimated time arrival, but haven't heard anything back.

I was going to purchase coilovers, cf hood, and cf trunk but am growing very weary. They seem very helpful and caring when I put my order in, so I'll keep everyone updated.
