going to add to the stay away from vivid racing thread.
sadly I didn't search first, but all I ordered was brake pads. what could go wrong?
vivid sent the wrong pads, the crazy thing is they are telling me they sent the correct pads, I just have the wrong car. seriously, I am not making this up.
this is day two of sending pictures to prove the pads are not the part number I ordered and they will not fit my car.
the amazing thing is they don't believe me when I tell them I ordered the product I want and received the incorrect product.
what good does it do to send pictures?
stay away from vivid racing.

I learned to avoid Vivid from my Subaru/BMW days. I'm amazed that they are still in business.

That's an unfortunate story. I knew Dan back in the day when I had an Evo (2003 or so). He used to swing by the meets (before the F&F crowd ruined them) and offer swag, discounts, etc. I got a battery tie-down from him... Later, we kept in touch and he offered me a gig with them. I couldn't take it at the time (I would've been cutting pay in half), so I wished him luck.

I hope he sees this and makes it right. From the BBB stuff, sounds like it's a negative trend. Bummer...
