Have read multiple complaints about this guy on here and on Facebook . Selling poor quality "restored" interior items such as dash boards, glove boxes and pods . Doesn't respond to emails or calls. Uses PayPal when making purchases but claims to not have paypal when selling items. He is located in ghetto *** Diamond Bar, CA so buyer beware.

Never heard the name before. Might need more details?

Is he the guy out in Cali selling stuff he's having someone else refurbish?

Did you finally receive everything he owed you?

Or was it just crap when you did?

I'm still waiting on over $1,000 worth of items I purchased from him. Had two good days of contact with him over a week ago, then nothing since (tried text, email, & PM), and no parts. I'm waiting on a recovered dash, center console, A-pillars, & glove box door. He sent me a dash initially, but it arrived with rub marks on the points from being improperly packed for shipment so I returned it to him. The quality of that item looked very good though. I placed my dash order with him on 5/30 and the rest of the parts on 6/18 after receiving the initial dash shipment

There are only two suppliers I would trust to do interior work on my cars - Rob Budd & Paul Champagne - you pay for what you get.

Didn't know Paul was still around, I've been sending everyone to Rob.

I would not plan on ever getting the items that you ordered. There are multiple people on Facebook with the same problem as you. I have not dealt with this scumbag as a buyer but I have been following all of the issues with this guy. Just trying to get the word out so no one else gets screwed.
