Not happy with **********s

25% restocking fee for painted reflectors that came from Bimmian and fit terribly, leading edge doesn't fit at all. The box is the size of a tube of toothpaste and they didn't do anything with it in the first place. Ordered reflectors from IND and will not get anything else from **********s.

Hey Man - I got mine from **********s as well and they fit like shit. In fact, my original reflectors are getting painted as we speak so I can swap them back in. I feel your pain dude...I got mine to fit "ok" but not a perfect fit.

sucks cause they aren't cheap. I've written them off.

I dont think this is the first nor the last that we will hear of this discussion. I went with IND after doing a little research and could not be happier with that decision. Its not a hard process, dont know why everyone cant use the same part...sand, primer, paint, repeat.

I had the same bad experience. Poor paint match and lousy fit. I ordered a set from IND and couldn't be happier. Lesson learned.

You know the ones they sell are not OEM right? Of course they are going to suck.

Yeah I think they suck horridly too and their shipping prices are really expensive for even very small items. I wont ever buy from them again. Too slow and extremely bad customer service.

I bought a set of the Bimmian ones and they fit terribly also. I replaced them with a set of OEM ones from Renn-Spec and couldn't be happier with the quality/fit of them.

Wished I did a little more research before I bought mine from **********s. Waited a month for the reflectors and I had to contact them to send it. Reflector's shade was off and fit like crap. Lesson definitely learned. If they are horrible for the small stuff, I wonder how other people are doing with their service for bigger items.

I bought CF mirror covers that were "in stock." Why did it take 2 weeks to ship them out then?

I don't have a problem waiting for an item. Just don't lie to me and tell me they are in stock.

Will not buy from them again.

Not sure is CYBA's are oem, but I've bought painted kidney grills and a rear diffuser from him and he's legit. Great guy and the parts fit great. Blue tips coming next... TBA!

Hi Guys,

Just saw this thread, first of all wish you guys just gave us a call or emailed us to let me know about having this issue. Previous to this thread I had only heard of one incident from a customer and it was with a red M3, but it was only a one time incident in months of selling it. I hadn't heard of anything since.

So, I just got off the phone with our friends at IND and at the end of today you will be able to order the IND reflectors from our site. I will be dropping these reflectors from our site.


To anyone who has any legitimate complaints please contact us and we will work with you to fix the problem.

So we only do 25% if its just a return with no apparent reason. It would be 10% in store credit. Anyway if its a defect or product problem there is no restocking fee - so I'll work with you on it. Please give us a call.

How does a bargain = less customer service?? We're one of the few companies in this industry that actually run a real customer service team. Definitely not true. Don't know what news you've heard but if you give us a chance or talk to us we'll do our best to help out.

You guys have spoken and I am going to get you guys the IND product.


If anyone has any issue with a product, or even if a product shipped out with a delay - please just let me know. I can address it with our team and make it better. We've been improving a ton but if something slips through on the thousands of products we sell, it would be great to be notified so that I can attempt to fix it. Thanks guys.

Our buddies at IND paint the OEM reflectors for us. definitely a great product and great work by IND and we are very happy to sell them!

We pair them up with our grilles for a great package deal too!
