And please, don't tell us that you must be doing something right. That's a joke. You sound like all the self-righteous, big-headed teens that troll here with their C-Class that was bought crazy used by their parents.

Pro tip: don't count your chickens before they've hatched.
But not every kid who is got the car though hand me downs is like this. I got my c class from my sister who got it from my mom, but all the money that will be going into it will be my own and I don't plan on sending it to some garage. I will do all the work I can myself (and thanks to this forum, my list keeps getting bigger). Just had to chime in.

PS: to OP. This sucks, had this happen to me from a buyer who payed me for a picture. I got shafted and he got a free picture untill I annoyed him enough that he payed me. It sucks. I am very sorry that you have to go through this. It is unfair.

lol well I have quite a bit lined up this month... my cf sheet got messed up during the first shipment so I'm waiting for a second roll of cf vinyl so I can finish my trunk with my sub. Just ordered my champagne gold wheel paint to repaint my wheels and rivets, Might go pick up another can of black chrome paint just in case i dont have enough but i think I do, I'm going to do only 1 or two coats to keep it shiner than what I did with my grill. Been talking to Cale about some other engine mods we might try to do together.

I saw that BEAUTIFUL NACA duct you got... If you're going to rivet it, you need to leave the CF lip on the outside... tasty.

I plan on doing it that way. APR just came out with another set of ducts like the R35 but the opening is only like 1 5/8"

Turns Out Steve is just fine, How do I know......? I just got a message from Paypal stating ......
"6 /22/2011 10:59 PDT - Seller: i mail package to buyer and buyer said he did not get them but they have yet to return to me either"

So let me get this straight, It took Mr. Steve 15 days to reply back from the dispute, Exactly One Month and a Day that he has been MIA with my Money and/or Headlights.
Steve, If You DID in Fact ship the headlights out, Where's the Proof?
Where did you ship it from?
What Time did you drop the box off?
What date did the Guy/Girl at the shipping depot tell you it would arrive at my doorstep?
Where is the receipt you got and exactly how much was it to the Penny?
What was the size of the Box, Color, Weight, Etc.?
What is the Tracking Number?
Who did you send the "So Called Headlights" out with, FedEx, UPS, USPS, Other?

DAMNIT I HATE Lyers & THEIVES!!!!

It's funny how they can never provide tracking numbers....

20 bucks says he's already canceled his banking account tied to paypal after the whole 2 sets of Depos fiasco.

WTF man this guy is really dumb ... you should whip out that thread where he states what he did with the depo headlights and show it as evidence to paypal that this guy is shady. If that's possible. I think you would have a good argument.

yeah... that sucks man.... I know when I was on my old ephatch.com forum they had a setup where we can rate each member on their seller rating and it was shown on their info. Also you were required to have posted at least 250 times before you can sell something. I think we should have some kind of monitoring like that on here so new members cant go about just posting FS threads. It'll help weed out the shady sellers.

Wow Sounds like he gave me and you the same speech.. And has no tracking information to provide me as well.. He knows not to chime in on here anymore cuz we are all watching his "last log in".. I assume I will get the same response as well to my dispute and round and round we go!! Thanks for nothing Steve you POS, just shows that buying from people on here is just as risky as anywhere else. I thought otherwise until this event.

I agree with phister. I never have and never will buy from anyone with a low post count and/or doesn't provide pictures within their first post. Everyone knows people are gonna ask for them, so why wait? This "email for pics" crap doesn't make sense to me...

I know what you mean about the pictures. I also don't trust when a seller has really small pictures that have been blown up and are super blury. I usually only buy from those who have a membership to the forum as well.but I don't follow that rule too carefully.

7-9-11 Update.....

I Finally... After more then a month and a half... Got my money back from Paypal !!!
What a huge pain in the *** this has been!
I was/am modding on a tight budget and this little hitch has really taken a toll on my will to keep modding.
Maybe in a month or two I'll start doing more, but I have to get over the aggravation that someone from this site that has been active since 2009 is out to screw people over.

If I and hopefully everyone else got anything out of this bogus transaction, DON'T Trust Steve Goncalves aka "bignaldo".

Buyer/Sellers beware!

Oh and hey Steve, Karma's a beeotch!!!!!
