I'm planning on buying something from this guy and i need some vouches for him so i can be assure that i will get what i purchase from him. thanks for those who respond

 

Arby, Silky Johnson, has been around the scene forever and is an extremely reputable guy.

Don't fret new guy.

 

inspect the stuff carefully before you buy, or if your not local ask for alot of detailed pics, i went off his reputation one time and just threw a $900 "brand new" mugen dc lip in my car, when i looked over it more carefully it had a big crack in the bottom that was crappily repaired, lots of scratches on the bottom from use, 2 out of like 8 or 10 mounting brackets were in place, but it was primered front/back to look new from an unsuspecting point of view

 

How do you not notice a 'big crack' on a lip?

I'm not supporting either sides but a lip isn't that hard to inspect.

Sorry to hear that you got screwed over but a word of advice, spend at least 30 minutes inspecting the product before you purchase it.

 

it was "repaired" with a gummy style compound and then the back and front were primered over, it was a pretty slick repair but didnt hold until it was even mounted.

i do claim partial responsibility for not looking it over closely before handing over $, but OP asked for a vouch, essentially what kind of transaction to inspect and i basically said "beware"

 

he's been in the game for awhile. he's a business man, and he's not trying to ruin his rep. he'll do whatever it takes to do what's right. at least he has for me and everyone else i know.

 

this guy is legit as can be. been in the scene for so long. bump for a great guy/seller/buyer.

 

Phenomenal guy! Buy with confidence!

good guy. buy and sold many things to and from him.

 

i think you had a big case of buyer remorse.. cause i seen that lip. it was pretty dam fresh to me. and no its not fake

 

^^But the negative point of that is that it was supposed to be "brand new". If that was the case there should have been zero issues with the lip whereas there was damage/covered up damage.

That being said, i've only heard good thing about him other than that.

 

No idea who this guy is but the name alone seems soooo badass. Silky Johson? please tell me this is his username and not his rl name haha

 

the only buyers remorse is because i spent 900 on a lip he pushed so hard as brand new, it was the slick white primer job outside, black on the inside that covered things up at a quick glance,

anyways with that said there is nothing else to say about my experience with him, cliff notes are i went off his vouches/rep alone and did not inspect the stuff when bought. if any of you think i care about 900 bucks take a look at my wheel fs thread and blow the rest out your backside

 

Having parts stolen from Oregon and sent to the state of Washington is still considered "stealing".

Fencing stolen parts is illegal and those who are involved are to be considered for life in prison.

 

your saying he pull out his gun push it to your head and told you to buy it cause its brand new? 900 isnt much but it is for a dam lip it is, you was happy enff to fork over 900 on a lip which is steep that mean @ the time and place you was happy enff to fork over that 900.... like i said b4 buyer remorse ... and i don't care or even see, by how many rims you have it still don't explain how its not buyer remorse ..... you bought something then you turn around and you dont want it. even call the homie up and saying it was a fake lip. wtf ....

 

arb is good peeps, been doing business with him for almost 10 years it seems....lol
