Issues with VQcarboncustom

Was wondering if anybody has issues with Vqcarboncustom... I am getting no response from him. I've emailed, DM on IG, and called him and no response. I bought a steering wheel about 5 weeks ago now with no update whatsoever. On the site it did say up to 4 weeks for arrival and ive passed that which is why I reached out to him. I see him active on IG recently. Ive talked to 2 other people that ordered from him and they told me they had got their product 2-3 weeks. I'm more bothered that there has been no update or response from him on my order. Thanks any input is welcome.

So that guy has been banned from many FB groups because he is reselling terrible quality Chinese parts at insane prices. The knockoff Z1 intakes are the worst offenders. I haven't heard issues of him not communicating with people, just the quality of the garbage he is trying to sell.

z1 knows about it but liek you said, not much they can do about it.
Things to consider with intakes are fitment, maf location, and filter quality.
From the reviews of some, they seem to fit fine. The design is off the Z1 intake. But not sure on the filter that comes with it. Could replace it easily.
Not sure the quality of pipe itself, gauge thickness and such.

I haven't been on the forum in a long while....but if you get your money back from PayPal, check out Carbon Fiber Element - he's on IG and located in NJ as well. He's done a lot of great work for the G37...Steering wheels, shift ****, etc....

that sucks...good luck with the claim - just let Paypal know the dates and attempts you've made to resolve the issue...sounds like they will be in your favor.

Claim has been settled. Do not do business with this scumbag. All that wait for nothing. Now I'm going to look for another steeeing wheel from somewhere else. Any suggestions....
