Default LMS Intake stolen!

Well I ordered a nice new 1st of a kind IS350 intake from LMS and was supposed to arrive today. I checked FEDEX and it says " Left at front door. Signature Service not requested." Well I get home today and find that the box I had been waiting for is not here!! I called FEDEX and they are looking into it. I also called Steve at LMS and told him about the situation. Who knows what will turn up.

So basically if anyone on this board comes across and IS350 intake for sale and it isn't coming directly from LMS, let me know. It might be mine!

this totally sucks. Was there a place for the Fedex person to hide the package, or at least out of view? At least my mailman places packages out of sight. Sorry about this. Install your fog lights for now, be happy with your mod, then worry about this tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about this.. I hope everything works out for you. In the meantime, as onihc said, preoccupy your mind with the fog light install

I get alot of stuff from ebay and once in a blue moon I would check the tracking on an item and it would say left at side door or so. I check, its not there. Turns out the driver did not actually leave it there. They do make mistakes too. Hopefully, yours will turn out.

That sucks, hopefully it's just still on the truck and the driver made a mistake. You don't really expect this from FedEx, UPS on the other is another story.

If you want it there 3 days late and broken, brown can do it for you.

Ok, so I decide do install my fog lights to keep my mind off things and sure enough I'm not impressed with the yellow fog light mod. I didn't touch the passenger side fog light, but did replace the drivers side fog light with the Nokya yellow bulbs. I back the car out of the garage to take a look and my personal opinion is that I just like the way the factory lights look. So I'm going to sell my bulbs cheap and even throw in some Red vinyl that can be used to cover the orange on the rear tail lights. I also decided I didn't want to do that mod as I'm in favor of an Orange turn signal.

10 bucks for both items plus 5 dollars shipping. First come first serve. Email me and we can work out the details.

I deliver everything i order to my office....that way, if Im not at my desk, someone else in my office will sign for it.

With that said, in my experience, FEDEX or UPS tend to falsify delivery attempts if they can't deliver a package within normal business hours. This happened to me at least 3 times....so they re-delivered the following day.

When I approached the delivery driver about it, they BS'd me about the door to my office was locked during business hours. Well, its never locked during business hours (7 am - 5 pm).

I guess what im saying is that there is a possibility that its stll to be delivered...and NOT stolen.

GL!!
