Default People with VIS hood, he tells me they are junks! 56k


I'm totally getting screwed over by Image Motorsport. I ordered VIS hood and they gave me a JSP hood over a month later. I asked why I got JSP and he says they are both same thing... made by same guy and JSP is ALOT better. He said VIS is a junk.
Whatever, I ask him to order me a VIS hood again, now price suddenly changes to $990 from $600(Canadian). wtf?

**** it, I take the JSP hood because it looked OK from inside the building. When I tried to mount it under the sunlight, I see all these bubbles, white spots on the edges etc.
So I brought it back to the shop and showed him. To him, it's the still best hood he has seen and it's flawless. I ask him again to take this back and he refuses it. Now he says I orderd JSP hood.
I thought this guy was nice first time but as I talk to him over and over again, I can clearly tell this is not the guy you want to buy stuff from.

It took over a month when he said it will be here in 10 days.

Conversation 15 days ago.
Me: Why is this taking so long
Him: Because it's a special order, they are making it for you.

Conversation Yesterday.
Next time.
Me: So you said they (VIS and JSP) are made by a same guy, but why did I get JSP, not VIS.
Him: Because JSP one was in stock

Conversation Today.
Me: I don't like this hood ..blah blah
Him: It's a perfectly a good hood. This is a special order, when you order it, they just made it for you.


Ok, now you tell me this is the best hood around and it's far superior to VIS hood.











This is my previous post couple days ago.

That hood is a piece of ****. I would take it and break that **** over his face if he didn't give me a refund. You better take some action man, don't let that ****** get away with ripping you off like that.

that hood is crap..sorry but you gotta return that thing

I have been through 2 VIS hoods.. one for USDM front..and now one for my JDM front..

I had the USDM front on for 2 years.. baked in southern california weather for 2 years.. and the day I took it off for my JDM front.. the Hood looked brand new.

Like I said.. VIS gets my vote any day.. return that thing

REAL vis hoods are very good quality. Lots of people advertise their hoods as being VIS, but they sell you some POS knock-off.

Return it, it's ****. I've seen better hoods than that. You don't need to pay for something you aren't satisfied w/.

**** them for not getting it right the first time.

That hood is of pretty shitty quality. I would demand a refund, but by the way the seller seems, that's not gonna happen.

If you used a credit card, have them work out the problem with the store.

Sorry to hear of your situation. Its the cost of the bling...

I'd put that crap back in the box and send it straight back to them. An escrow service would have helped out in this situation.
