Default WICKED MOTOR IS A NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH

I'm a lawyer, but I won't help you. I specialize in using the consumer protection laws as they were intended, to protect the scammers. The first part of the scam is calling them consumer protection laws. Our little joke.

To all: this is the most inane stupid thread to date. I did my best to NOT contribute to this idiocy. The OP checked out days ago. Who among us is dumb enough to have their car languish in a body shop racking up daily charges for a year, makeup erroneous claims, do no follow-up, and then whine/demand that he is owed something for doing nothing? There is no law that covers stupid.

In all fairness, here we have a dramatic thread title, written in caps, incomplete, by a user with 2 posts. Virtually no useful information was written that would enable anyone to help. People get tired of the obvious merchant smear campaigns. And if you ever happen to have a small business named Wicked Motors (and there are a few out there) this thread title will come up in the google search.

His writing/actions/behaviour might suggest he might be an fob Asian dude. Just a guess. They generally don't do well in forums and with handling issues in the states as there are certain cultural differences. I could be totally off base but all the attributes you pointed out seems to fit this case.

Hello, I purchased the upgrade kit with 4 weeks promised date of delivery's. I wrote them more than 200 e-mails, I called them a thousand times and they only answer new customers call, because I tried to call them from different number ,they answered.my car had frontal accident and I paid them 8500$ for the kit.I had to wait for the parts to arrive, but when it arrived the head lights was not shipped. the TNT CARRIERS, indicate that the weights they picked is the same that was delivered. Its simply put a very clear fraudulent company and every one should be aware.
thnx

Indeed. TNT Carriers uses only the finest Mettler Toledo micro-balances to weigh its loads, pre- and post- delivery. They track shipment weights within one nanogram.

If someone so much as wipes dust of off an item whilst in transit, you will know it. So, clearly there is fraud involved.

My beef with Wicked? I took the car in for an oil change, and look what they did to it!

I've tried to resolve it, but since I can only get in one call per telephone number, I've run out of friends and family whose phones I can use for one call each.

It's usually almost impossible to find a lawyer to pursue legitimate claims of fraud.

this what I found in speed website :

Hi all,
This is another horrible experience with Wicked Motor Works' 991 GT3 style bumper kit. I first ordered the kit in December 2013, and was told by Beau that they already have the mold, and it would take about 6~8 weeks for them to produce the front bumper, the rear bumper and the rear spoiler. Came mid February 2014, they told me they front bumper will be ready in 2 weeks, and the rear bumper will be 2 weeks after that. This process dragged out for three more months. It was May until I finally received what I ordered THREE MONTHS LATE!!!
So, some might say its normal to receive something late, but there were a lot more issues during the transaction. Originally when they advertised for the bumper, the picture showed all supporting frames, associated lips etc. but when they were about to ship, they told me all other accessories are not included, if I want them it would cost me another $4,000. All of these parts were OEM, so of course, they had me waiting for another month.
Having spent an additional $4,000 on OEM parts that were needed to install, Beau told me shipping this would cost ~$1,500, but by the time they are ready to ship, the shipping became $2,600 another additional $1,000 from what was quoted. Of course, this was not something they could control since shipping prices were determined by the shipping company... Some might ask why I continued the transaction with them? The reason was because I live in Taiwan, and I was worried that I would never get my money back if I cancel the order. (To those who are wondering, please find disputes other people have had with them on line) And I do not plan on making a lawsuit overseas.
Finally, the package arrived, but there were 2 OEM parts missing. I immediately reported this to Wicked, but they told me they were sure that those two parts were packed, and it must have gotten lost during customs. I then asked the shipping company about this, but they said their personnel were at the customs when this box went through. Although it was opened, nothing was taken out, so there was no chance of the parts not being placed back in since nothing was taken out to begin with. (I have no way of finding out whether or not these parts were ever put in the box at the first place...) Now Wicked left me working with the shipping company and insurance on my own, and the only support Wicked is giving me is ordering another set of the parts and asking me for another $600 to have them shipped to Taiwan.
If anyone is thinking about order from them, please be careful. You will end up spending much much more than what was advertised in order to have the kit complete. Hope this helps some of you who has been thinking about purchasing kits from them in the future...

Sorry to hear about your horrible and very expensive experience. Others have complained about the QC of their products. Thanks for the heads up. Hope things work out for you.

This entire alleged incident needs a complete investigation and prosecution. I'm referring you to the Texas Rangers. Ask for Ranger Walker. He will either help you or destroy them.
