They're still around, since I ordered my spoiler a couple of months ago. Sometimes shipment takes a while depending on where you are located

I don't know what you are planning on doing with your car, but they make a rear wiper delete plug. I just used one on mine. You probably know that, I was just bringing it up.

Thanks, and I actually already got one. Thing is I thought my car was the same color as the spirit R (g25) so I had it painted in the g25 color but it appears to be a custom gray color so I need to respray the cap in the right color.

Even if they are still around, the real question is: Why order from them? Is what they have worth the risk? Can you really not get it anywhere else?

I know it's easy to justify is the price is right, but this isn't exactly a stellar record of "good business" and obviously spans many makes, models, products and years. Hardly an isolated incident or specific product issue.

I have no dog in the fight. But observing for years, certain things consistent. One of which is bad service from EVO-R.

These are fairly old topics though. Honestly my first experience with them was great. Furthermore, the quality of the product I purchased is also really good.

Old? More like consistent. Those reviews started in 2008 and went until 2017

Those were just the first few that popped up on Google. You want more? Google "evo-r.net reviews" or "evo-r scam" and find many, many, many more. It's 10+ years of bad service and sub-quality products, albeit, at the right price.

Listen, buy from Evo-R if you don't have any other options, just go in with the correct expectations. Just don't come back acting surprised or like the info wasn't out there if things go south.

My advice: Be the squeaky wheel. Raise hell. Google search the username EVO R, find the posts, pipe up, and make it worth it for him to give you back your money.
My other advice: Hit up Shine Auto.

All I was referring to were the links you posted. The real question is though, have you ordered from them as well? How was "your" experience with them? Have you witnessed sub-quality products in person?

All I'm saying is that when I placed my order with them I have never read the reviews and 1 my order didn't take long to arrive and 2 I don't see anything wrong with the product I purchased. The quality is really good and it arrived in perfect condition.

I can't speak for others, and I'm sure there have been bad situations that many label as a scam but this wasn't my experience.

Just my 2 cent...

Well, how aggravating. He responded to FB when I asked if he was still up and running and says "yes, what do you need". Then I tell him I put in an order at his website. Then I hear nothing. Same with email. I guess I will work on getting money back with my CC..... what a pain. Why? Why do people have to work like this? So frustrating some times. I will be back home tomorrow and try to figure it out I guess.

Well, I guess it isn't working out. Does the guy not speak English? It is one month and I can't confirm he is sending me anything. I may just got burnt for a couple hundred. So frustrating!!!

Looking at the tracking on paypal I can't tell if the order is on it's way back to Taiwan or coming to me. It would appear the address got messed up some how. I have not heard anything from anyone yet.
Wanted to put in order for head and tail lights. But I am too scared now.
