So after wrecking my car I decided to do the JDM conversion. Four and a half weeks after ordering my kit from importadrenalin.com I finally recieved it after being promised a week to ten days for shipping. Heres what I recieved.....





This hole is big enough to stick my thumb through




You guessed it....BONDO!


I have more pics but you get the idea, I dont know maybe im being picky but to me these parts are in such bad shape now I have to pay my body guy even more to fix all the bullshit. I was never under the assumption that even the used kits came this rough.

importadrenalin.com doesnt even exist ...

but yeah that bumper does looks pretty rough

Rule #1: never order from anywhere that misspells a word in their own name (save the common k instead of c, or z instead of s)

Used conversions are typically beat up, but bondo is not cool, and neither is a straight HOLE. Its one thing for scratches, thats to be expected...a hole and bondo should get you some sort of compensation.

 

I checked out the site and this really caught my eye:

"All used parts comes in great condition and do not feature any damages." "...The pieces may have scratches or minor dents that need to be repaired before being painted."

Kinda contradictory, however they did say that it may need to be repaired before painting. Since the damage there is pretty subjective (you'll say it's really bad, they'll say it's minor and pretty common for stuff coming from Japan) I'd say there's not much you can do. If you argue with the owner, maybe you can score a free option sticker or something.

Overall, I'd say dont worry about it cause after your 4 week wait I'd doubt they have another in stock. Just get it fixed and be happy that it's real Honda parts and not a fiberglass copy.

Oh, and Bondo is not a bad thing when it's used correctly and in small amounts.

 

Thats messed up, well bondo it up and burn that company down to the ground!

 

carma thats pretty much the way I feel, with the main exception being that I still havent recieved my rad. support yet and god knows how long that'll take to get there and until it does my car cant even really be started. Oh well live and learn.

 

yea dude it does suck. But it goes for anything like that. its just gonna be beat to ****. Not much you can do. When i got my conversion i was like, i paid 3k for beat up, shitty ***, been on fire a few times metal? o well.. guess we gotta suck it up

 

damn, and u know whats sad? The bumper probably came off the car in good condition, but got handled like a *****, being dragged around, tossed and ****. U should get some compensation

 

I sent em a pretty shitty email about the whole situation. I have never actually dealt with the company, my body guy has done all the foot work up to this point, but he obviously is not too concerned about the parts being perfect, because afterall he gets to charge me to fix all of the holes, knicks, scratches and dents.

 

wut site did u order that off of ???

as he stated earlier

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that. I'd be bitchin them out right now.

 

yeah, sucks....so close to completing your conversion.
