Default Conversation I had with JDMCARBOY

I had bought a lip from JDMCARBOY.com on November 10th, 2005 and i am still unsatisfied.

They sent me a lip that was warped and had NO way of fitting my 99-00 civic bumper. I took it to TWO local body shops and they said to take it back. I even took pictures of it and JDMCARBOY looked at them and told me to send it back to them.

I sent the lip back in December.... and JDMCARBOY still hasn't sent me an exchange lip or refund.


this is my conversation with him...
i noticed he avoids a lot of my questions.. and he tells an SI bumper is wider than any other normal 99-00 Civic bumper
it was very frustrating

i am 99.9% sure that all 99-00 Civic bumpers are the same..

let me know what ya'll think about this conversation....

I JUST WANT MY LIP i paid for!!!!

AncIyT (8:37:20 PM): are you there
jdmcarboy (8:37:27 PM): sup
AncIyT (8:37:42 PM): i would like to know when i'm getting a new lip or refund
jdmcarboy (8:38:10 PM): well the lip is for a 99-00 civic
jdmcarboy (8:38:17 PM): so its exchange only
AncIyT (8:38:25 PM): so no refund
AncIyT (8:38:30 PM): but basically store credit
AncIyT (8:38:32 PM): lol
jdmcarboy (8:38:37 PM): yea
jdmcarboy (8:38:43 PM): minus shipping
jdmcarboy (8:38:46 PM): just lemme know wat u wanna do
jdmcarboy (8:38:51 PM): i can send u a urethane lip
jdmcarboy (8:38:53 PM): or abs plastic
AncIyT (8:38:54 PM): what do you mean minus shipping
AncIyT (8:39:06 PM): i want a carbon fiber mugen style lip just like the one i sent back.. but i want it to fit this time
jdmcarboy (8:39:08 PM): well shipping charges are non refundable
AncIyT (8:39:17 PM): oh yeah
AncIyT (8:39:30 PM): but if i get another lip.. i'm not paying the extra shipping on that
AncIyT (8:39:47 PM): i understand i lost the extra $48 it cost me to ship it back
jdmcarboy (8:41:42 PM): yea
AncIyT (8:41:56 PM): so can you ship out another carbon fiber mugen style lip
AncIyT (8:42:08 PM): like that one.. but please.. make sure it fits.. i really just want another one
jdmcarboy (8:42:17 PM): yea i have the front bumper here
jdmcarboy (8:42:21 PM): it does fit
AncIyT (8:42:22 PM): good
AncIyT (8:42:28 PM): what does fit
jdmcarboy (8:42:28 PM): do u have an si bumper?
jdmcarboy (8:42:34 PM): the lip u sent back
AncIyT (8:42:40 PM): no, I have a 99 civic hatchback
AncIyT (8:42:44 PM): i have TWO 99 civic hatchbacks
AncIyT (8:42:59 PM): i do not have an SI, but the bumpers should be the same
AncIyT (8:45:22 PM): are you there?
AncIyT (8:46:02 PM): i would like you to send me the same style lip back ASAP.... that sits on the floor flat... and that lines up with the edge of the 99-00 civic bumper perfectly
jdmcarboy (8:47:46 PM): well we dont make the lips, bro
jdmcarboy (8:47:48 PM): we only sell them
jdmcarboy (8:47:56 PM): abs dynamics is the manufacturer/importer of the lips
AncIyT (8:48:08 PM): so can you tell them to ship me another lip
AncIyT (8:48:17 PM): i just want another lip
jdmcarboy (8:48:19 PM): well it fits the bumper
jdmcarboy (8:48:29 PM): so i didnt kno wat ur prob was with it
AncIyT (8:48:29 PM): you're telling me the lip i had fit the bumper????
jdmcarboy (8:48:32 PM): yea
AncIyT (8:48:34 PM): LOL
jdmcarboy (8:48:40 PM): i tried it already
AncIyT (8:48:47 PM): i went to two professional body shops
AncIyT (8:48:52 PM): i'm not car illiterate
AncIyT (8:48:57 PM): i tested it.. had shops test it
jdmcarboy (8:48:58 PM): yea
AncIyT (8:49:02 PM): and all they could say is...
jdmcarboy (8:49:03 PM): well if it doesnt fit
AncIyT (8:49:05 PM): take it or send it back
AncIyT (8:49:06 PM): NOW
jdmcarboy (8:49:11 PM): all u do is use a heat gun on inside of lip
AncIyT (8:49:14 PM): do you remember the pics i sent to you
jdmcarboy (8:49:15 PM): and it will flex
AncIyT (8:49:20 PM): i understand
jdmcarboy (8:49:21 PM): its basically a fiberglass lip with cf overlay
AncIyT (8:49:21 PM): i told them that
jdmcarboy (8:49:23 PM): yea
AncIyT (8:49:32 PM): and they said... you can't heat it
AncIyT (8:50:08 PM): they looked at it.. told me ... it's probably not even for the civic 99-00 and probably for an accord or something
AncIyT (8:50:28 PM): and i said well "they told me it could be heated in the back to flex and fit" and they said.. they can't heat this material on the back
AncIyT (8:50:59 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...7.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:02 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...6.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:04 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...5.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:07 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...4.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:15 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...3.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:17 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...2.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:20 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...1.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:23 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...0.jpg
AncIyT (8:51:55 PM): I've had many lips on this car.. including an OEM SI lip.. a CTR lip.. a Mugen Style Lip... but this is the only Carbon Fiber lip i wanted... and it didn't come close to fitting
jdmcarboy (8:52:03 PM): ok
AncIyT (8:52:10 PM): even when laid on the floor/flat surface.. it would stand by itself.. almost 90 degree bend
AncIyT (8:53:14 PM): so i mean.. i'm 110% positive my lip that I had sent back to you or your warehouse does not fit
jdmcarboy (8:53:40 PM): do u have an si?
AncIyT (8:53:42 PM): all i want is either another lip (same exact style) that has been tested.. and is packaged correctly so that it will not warp..
AncIyT (8:53:48 PM): no i do not have an SI
jdmcarboy (8:53:48 PM): b/c si bumper is slightly wider
AncIyT (8:54:26 PM): I have two 99 civic hatchbacks.. but even so.. the SI's bumper is NOT wider than a normal civic 99-00
AncIyT (8:54:55 PM): the SI and ALL 1999-2000 civic ex/dx/cx have the same bumpers
jdmcarboy (8:55:15 PM): it is wider
jdmcarboy (8:55:22 PM): thats why type r lips have trouble fitting on Si's
AncIyT (8:55:28 PM): LOL... no they don't
AncIyT (8:55:30 PM): anyways
jdmcarboy (8:55:33 PM): they do
AncIyT (8:55:34 PM): does that explain why the lip stands straight up
jdmcarboy (8:55:37 PM): i've compared the two
jdmcarboy (8:55:44 PM): i just found that out recently
jdmcarboy (8:55:46 PM): its wider
jdmcarboy (8:56:01 PM): for non si models u need to make minor mods to fit it on
jdmcarboy (8:56:03 PM): or theres a gap
AncIyT (8:56:16 PM): absolutely not... but either way.. it has nothing to do with my lip bending almost straight up when laid on the floor
AncIyT (8:56:48 PM): man, i have all the proof in the world... please don't argue with me.. this lip needs to be exchanged..
will you do it for me?
AncIyT (8:56:55 PM): that's all i ask
jdmcarboy (8:56:57 PM): thats how fiberglass lips are sometimes
jdmcarboy (8:57:00 PM): u install one end
jdmcarboy (8:57:04 PM): and then the other
jdmcarboy (8:57:10 PM): and it will stay in place
AncIyT (8:57:10 PM): no... jdmshit.com's lips aren't lke this
jdmcarboy (8:57:14 PM): lol
AncIyT (8:57:16 PM): passwordjdm.com's lips aren't like this
jdmcarboy (8:57:19 PM): we get them from same place
jdmcarboy (8:57:22 PM): abs dynamics
jdmcarboy (8:57:26 PM): absdynamics.com
jdmcarboy (8:57:38 PM): thats where jdmshit gets all their cf trunks for eg hb
AncIyT (8:57:38 PM): how come everyone i know that has the carbon fiber mugen styl elip... their's fit perfectly??
jdmcarboy (8:57:39 PM): hoods
jdmcarboy (8:57:42 PM): and cf lips
jdmcarboy (8:57:47 PM): exactly
jdmcarboy (8:57:53 PM): they do fit
jdmcarboy (8:57:55 PM): just like this one does
AncIyT (8:57:59 PM): and they told ME.. that mine doesn't!
AncIyT (8:58:21 PM): with NO modification.. it should fit.. that's what ii've been hearing from other people with the same lip from a different distributor
AncIyT (8:59:14 PM): lastly.. you're saying it did fit.... how did it fit.. did you heat it up and bend it ? cuz the position it was sitting.. it wouldn't have fit any 99-00 civic bumper
AncIyT (9:01:08 PM): ok randy... i'm going to ask you AGAIN....


can you ship me another lip... that fits perfectly on a 99-00 Civic BUmper with NO modification.. NO heating.. and NO bending?

i'm well known to a lot of forums.. everyone knows i know my cars...
AncIyT (9:01:17 PM): i will be satisfied if you send me another lip.. that fits without any modifcation..
jdmcarboy (9:02:22 PM): i just took it back out of the package
jdmcarboy (9:02:27 PM): and it fits on the bumper
jdmcarboy (9:02:37 PM): fiberglass & carbon fiber parts sometimes need mods
AncIyT (9:02:37 PM): lol... that's not the one i had then
AncIyT (9:03:05 PM): then how can i find a body shop that will do it ... if i already went to TWO professionally known body shops
AncIyT (9:03:24 PM): that said this needs to be replaced/exchanged??
jdmcarboy (9:03:33 PM): ok
AncIyT (9:03:40 PM): will you please just send me another lip
jdmcarboy (9:03:44 PM): well ill talk to abs
jdmcarboy (9:03:51 PM): try to get them to exchange it
jdmcarboy (9:03:56 PM): but it goes on fine
AncIyT (9:03:57 PM): aww.. please don't do that.. that means i'm not gonna hear from you for another 2 months
AncIyT (9:04:02 PM): on fine?
jdmcarboy (9:04:04 PM): just looks like lip is a little out of shape from when it cooled
AncIyT (9:04:16 PM): what do you mean it goes on fine...
jdmcarboy (9:04:21 PM): on the sides
jdmcarboy (9:04:32 PM): basically i would just heat the back of the lip
jdmcarboy (9:04:38 PM): install each end
jdmcarboy (9:04:45 PM): then come back for the middle
AncIyT (9:04:53 PM): well are they gonna do that for me?
AncIyT (9:04:59 PM): why can't they take that back.. and just give me another one

jdmcarboy (9:18:56 PM): yea
AncIyT (9:18:57 PM): i just want a lip
jdmcarboy (9:19:05 PM): u kno anyone that needs a 99-00 Civic Bumper?
jdmcarboy (9:19:09 PM): i can ship them together

jdmcarboy (9:19:42 PM): well if they needed parts
AncIyT (9:19:50 PM): naw man.... i dont want my lip in the same box as everything else.. i dont want the lip to have any chance of warping
AncIyT (9:20:14 PM): you gotta understand.. i work for a shop.. we have show ready civics... i need a lip for the show
jdmcarboy (9:20:22 PM): ok
AncIyT (9:20:28 PM): i can sell anything
AncIyT (9:20:55 PM): but if you say the lip fits.. can you send the lip back asap... like tomorrow.. it'll only take 5 minutes of your time to ship it out
jdmcarboy (9:20:58 PM): we have a bunch of sir replica bumpers for ek also
jdmcarboy (9:21:14 PM): well the sides go on
jdmcarboy (9:21:22 PM): but for everything to be perfect
jdmcarboy (9:21:26 PM): i would tape it up
jdmcarboy (9:21:30 PM): and leave it in sunlight
jdmcarboy (9:21:36 PM): so everything lines up perfectly
AncIyT (9:21:41 PM): does it sit flat on the floor??
jdmcarboy (9:21:42 PM): kinda like how they do widebodies
jdmcarboy (9:21:48 PM): yea i saw wat u mean
AncIyT (9:21:49 PM): i want to know that
AncIyT (9:22:03 PM): does it sit flat on the floor... cuz i couldn't even TRY to tape it up...
jdmcarboy (9:23:10 PM): thats why i think if it just sat in the sunlight
jdmcarboy (9:23:16 PM): it would go back to shape
jdmcarboy (9:23:58 PM): id put bubble wrap over it
jdmcarboy (9:24:06 PM): then put something on top to weigh it down
jdmcarboy (9:24:12 PM): and once it heats up
AncIyT (9:24:16 PM): i know.. but the thing is... that when I HAD the lip... it coudlnt' even try to make it touch the bumper for 50% of the lip
AncIyT (9:25:11 PM): http://i9.photobucket.com/albu...5.jpg
AncIyT (9:25:14 PM): please look at this picture again
AncIyT (9:25:28 PM): pressing down the other side to make it fit would probably snap the Carbon fiber lip
AncIyT (9:25:42 PM): the driverside is almost as high as the headlight
AncIyT (9:26:07 PM): it's more than one foot off... and I remember physically trying to force it down to touch the end of the bumper... it really felt like it was going to break
AncIyT (9:27:04 PM): hey i gotta leave soon..
AncIyT (9:27:45 PM): but i need to know if the lip that you that you say you have right now in your hand... fits the bumper without drastic force

you have to hold both sides on at the same time... i bet it would fit then

its not gonna fit like oem where it needs some "assistance" fitting up to the bumper.

also i guess no one realizes but jdmshit, jdmcarboy, and all the ebay sellers all sell the same exact crap

The Del Sol lip i bought from him didnt fit at all either. I had to cut and dremel the lip to fit and theres still gaps on the sides. He claims all the lips fit his bumpers but my lip didnt fit for sh*t.

Also, about the number on his site. He says its been on there a while lol, Two weeks at most. Good luck with your situation. I had a horrible experience with them and wont ever buy from them again.

man it sounds like your getting f****d. i used to work for a shop in St. louis called next level and they where the biggest bunch of scammer i have ever meet and they used to do the same ****, dodging email and im and then since i was new i had to tell the customer that they where not there and ****, i quit not to long after but your best bet is to get someone you know to drive there inperson or call the bbb on this guy. just keep hounding him intill someting happens

thats exactly how my cf mugen style lip was from robearracing. wouldnt lay flat on the floor and the right side curled up in the exact same way. i doubt you really even tried putting it on. people click on the links to his pics, and tell me it looks like it wont fit. did you even try wraping the other side around to see if it will fit? or did you just wrap ONE side around and say "oh crap the other side doesnt wrap around perfectly and fit like oem id better send it back". like i said my lip was exactly like that and i got mine on. pretty sure its from the same manufacturer too.

JDMCarboy obviously has terrible customer service and it's clear that they don't know what they're talking about. I was thinking about buying something from them, I just changed my mind

Yeah, most of those lips are not designed to fit right up to the bumper with excellent fitment, they are deisgned to WRAP around the bumper. Your mounting screws on the lips ends, located in the fender wells will WRAP that lip around the bumper.

fyi there is another thread in this forum that is also going on right now here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1513595 I feel sorry for you having to be in the same situation as many of us with jdmfagboy . he says that hes online all the time. he posts on HT all the time to bump his for sale threads. but he never returns anybodys calls or emails or pm's when you send it to him

YES i tried to put both sides of the lip down..

i took it to TWO body shops also!

i'm not car illiterate.. this has got to be the 3-4th lip i've had on a Civic


I had 2 other people try to force the lip to touch both sides of the bumper.. but it wasn't even about to touch... even with the force of man-power.. the lip seemed like it was GOING TO SNAP.. and still had at least 6 inches of distance between the lip and bumper


SO YES i did try... i've tried to put the lip on the bumper for hours..

all i want is another lip

thats the same lip i have for my 92-95 civic but in ABS plastic. It didnt fit properly either, but with 2 ppl it will fit. its just extremely tight around.

just remember, even if it says oem fitmet, its not gunna be 100% unless its from honda. its just the way it is.

sucks u gotta deal with that situation but we've all been there one way or another. it will make u think twice from now on about buying things though, atleast i have.

as we all know, carbon fiber and fiberglass dont bend and flex well.

from the 1st 2 pics, you can clearly see this lip isn't straight. there is no reason laying flat, both ends shoudln't be on the ground.

now plastic, or urathane.. you might have a point, they're designed to flex.. but NOT composite.

that lip is ***, and the seller should make the sale good.. but he hasn't.

yeh me and my bro got a 99-00 si front lip from jdmcarboy. i have a 99 si and he has a 00 ex, niether one of our front lips fit. mine bows out at the ends, where the screws go on in the wheel well, so if i would have forced it any more, it would have cracked like my bros did. he is horrible with customer service and we had the same problem you are having too, i think the guy's on crack
