Cheers for the Kez. So ill start by saying apoligise for been away guys, im just working through a pile of stuff which has amounted from my absence. Anyway in brief my old man had a heart attack last Thursday and been flat out with that aswell as dealing with my mums on going hospital health issues, all the while dealing with everything on my own as my brother is overseas on his honey moon. So yeah pretty much since last Monday till today if i wasnt at one hospital i was at another. Anyway ive been hacking away at the pile that has built up from my absence. Anyway Star Track Express has given an ETA time of 19th for them to arrive at my place, im hoping that they come tomorrow but we'll see. Eitherway ill send them out ASAP once their in my hands. People closer to SA can expect them mid next week and those in QLD and WA around Friday or the Monday after. Again really sorry for been away, it was constantly on my mind but i couldnt get to a computer and im always worried that people might start thinking crazy that ive done a runner. But yeah now you know why ive been away and they are gonna be in your hands not too long from now. Cheers for your understanding. -Dave- Hey mate nah it round is finished but because some Supra guys didnt get in for a custom order ill be doing another run of floor mats in about 1-2 weeks (pretty much just after everyone has received theirs from this group buy) and ill only leave it open for a short period. But atleast you get to see pics. So yeah guys once you receive them if you can take some pics of the or fitted that would be great as i can actually get to see how they look

Ok guys just two things. Firstly can people please post pics of their mats when they receive them as i always love having a look at them Secondly just to let people know and keep them in the loop there will be about a weeks delay with these. Its just due to how it pans out with weekends and that the transport company will only receive the order just before the weekend and therefore they cant do anything until Monday. So yeah we lose a few days waiting for the working week to come around. Just luck of the draw that this will probably happen twice so yeah the order will be sitting around doing nothing for 2-4 days. But yeah you guys will have your hands on these shortly

Yeah Andrew mate i got your payment, cheers Early October mate. Cheers

Yeah no worries mate i just want it to be eveident that there is a distinction between me and Kustom Auto Stylin the scumbags. The reason why it is/was so similar is because the guy ripped all my research, planning and how i was make it happen off the soarer forums and threw it up on ebay. The reason why i initially set out to do the prepaid system was because im not a business and dont have the outlay to import and kit, make a mould and sell them. Rob the scammer from ebay also didnt know how popular Auto Couture could be so they just copied how i was planning on running things. Once im all done with the floor mat groupbuy stuff ill clean this thread up and lay out the facts. But yeah for those people that are serious and want to make an informed decision you will have to head to soarercentral.com and ready the thread.

Yeah no worries mate i should be able to fit you in. Just send the details of you order to [email protected] with your full name and postage info aswell as sending payment ASAP :-)

Also one more important thing i thought i should add, i always knew that Rob aka 'Kustom Auto Stylin' wouldnt go ahead as Shine Auto Projects wasnt going to sell them a kit to use for a mould. This was mainly because they didnt want someone else making cash off their hard work and also knew that the kits would be sub par. However Ken from Shine Auto Projects has given me the go ahead to use their kit for a mould and you can email him to confirm this is true mainly for the reason that i went to him and asked if it was ok, also he knew i was an enthusiast and was trying to help out other enthusiasts as the shipping and taxes to bring in kits from the US still made them too expensive and therefore we werent ever going to be potential customers. From my knowledge only 2 people actually went ahead with the ebay thing, not sure up until the last week how many more came on but yeah i only know of 2 people that put their names down and it was never going to happen as Shine wasnt going to supply a kit for them. Even if they were the kits would have been very sub par as his ETA of the 15/9/09 meant he had 65days to buy a kit, get it to Aus, make a mould and then make the copies. Just getting it here will take 1 whole month and when i was still considering him he said he would keep the Shine kit in the mould for a week and then make copies. The ones that ill be contracting an SA company to make them for us is leaving them in the mould for a full month. They know their shit unlike Rob and yeah i have a personal connection to this groupbuy as the kit that comes out is the kit that i will be using myself on my car and seeing as my new 1998 Soarer has cost me over $20K just for its rarity and the fact that im a perfectionist going through Rob would have never deliveried on my/our highest expectations. Thats why i spend a considerable amount of time looking for another company that could prove and i felt would deliver the product to meet our highest expectations. Even then once i found the currrent SA company i want to use i told them that its a groupbuy and that i will need contracts sign to cover against a product that they dont deliver upon. They are fine with signing a contract that the kits will be perfect fitment otherwise we get our money back. ps. just a bit of tongue and cheek but look at my groupbuy thread, you really think a scammer is going to be up at 3am and 5am like the other night sort out problems and making sure the delivery date is deliver upon. My final words are if your a Soarer owner and have dreamed about getting an Auto Couture kit like myself and many others but couldnt never afford $6K for the genuine kit and you think this is for you then please read the thread on Soarercentral.com in the parts section (there is a link above) and inform yourself to make the decision that will suit you. I know you will have a fair bit of reading to do but yeah all you need to know to make up your mind if this is for you or not is in there.

Dude you even wanted floor mats from me yet im dodgey now..'

Ill prove myself no worries. Anyway to help your mate this is the dudes profile on NS, him and his brother are the business Kustom Auto Stylin. Ill try and find his last name for you as im sure back in the day when i was asking him of possible making them for us he let it slip. This car has the paltes 'RRATED' which is a purple widebody piece of shit varietta S15so if you need to track him down get the cops to track down the location of the car under the address it is regoed and you will have this scum bag. Whats the deal with paypal insurance, will your mate get his cash back via paypal?

Read the link in the first post i made. It outlines many of the things you need to know there. But in short the guy that ripped people off is on NS, i was originally going to get him to make the kits but the more i research the more i didnt feel comfortable with using him. So i dropped him and when with a well know SA company. The main thing is that i dont want to send the money interstate to some company as it makes it a lot hard for me to recoup for people so thats why we are going with the SA company plus many more reason all of which are positive. Anyway the dude stole my idea and all i wanted was to get a kit for myself which via a groupbuy would reduce the cost. The guy on ebay stole my idea and started advertising. His company is Kustom Auto Stylin in NSW and he is a f**k face. If you mate need the dudes name to call the cops im more than happy to pass on the info. Anyway i told people they should avoid him at all cost, i knew the 'guaranteed fitment' was bullshit as he planned on keeping the kit in a mould for only a week (we are going with a full month to eliminate any chance of warping). Anyway long story short if you have a soarer and are interested i suggest you get onto soarercentral.com and look at my thread under the parts section. That and ive been trusted in the past with multiple thousands of dollars all from people that never have met me only to get glowing applause for my hard work in helping out the import community. If you dont believe me check into my floor mat groupbuy in 2 weeks and you will see around 40 very happy people that have trusted me with $5K for the first time on SAU. That and i already have $5K in retainers form 12 people so that money will be used to buy the kit from America on Monday or Tuesday once i get all the floor mat orders out of the way and onto people. Im no business, i have nothing to do with Kustom Auto Stylin. Im an individual that wants this kit but for a genuine item your looks at $6K+ landed or for a Shine replica closer to $3k. That and we improve upon the genuine and replica. Read the thread that i linked if you have your doubts. Only reason i do these things is that the ground work for 1 person versus 25 people is not that much more so i try and help out like minded people who are after the same thing. That and taking a year off uni help to have the time to do these sort of thing. Read these before you judge, you think i put hundreds of hours into research and asking questions in the hopes of scamming people. Ive got a reputation for been trust worthy. If you really want to see the proof in the pudding ask ANYONE on soarercentral.com, ask them what are your thoughts on David Grab the groupbuy king. You will soon see that kind of praise even money cant buy. Any way research thread is here-http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/283/290045.html?1248388387 Logistics thread-http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/292/292236.html?1253161467 ps. the guys that scammed should have seen it a mile off, the guy didnt have any form of contact details or a address and thats the same go with his website http://www.kustomautostylin.com.au/index.php?p=1_38 . He also tried to invade my thread and sell his shit on soarercentral.com before getting banned by the owner of soarercentral.com and not only have i asked permission from Peter the owner of the site i have his seal of approval and have so because of my record in taking care of my fellow man :-) The proof for you doubters that this is legit and that i am will be once the floor mats start rolling in for these individuals that got on my groupbuy http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fl...uy-t274786.html which not only involveds SAU but Supraforums and Soarercentral And here is evidence of my previous successful groupbuy -http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/171174/272540.html?1242309728 -http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/171174/247843.html?1228216995 So dont right me off completely before knowing the full facts and assuming that ill do the same as the f**k face that wanted to use my own hard work to make cash and ended up screwing people. I wanted only 25 of these Aus wide and Rob and his brother wanted to ruin it by palming off shitty knock offs like rice cakes. Anyone that got scammed let me know as i might be able to assist with recovering your money or aiding in info that might be useful to the police. Cheers -Dave-

Alright all payments have been accounted for and all mystery funds have a name to them :-) Finally found some hidden emails and sussed it out so no need to worry for those who thought it might be them.

Alright ive spent the last 3 full days going back over 100's of PMs and emails. Anyway this cant find orders for two people however the funds are in my account. First person someone whose funds can under 'D J MOYLE '. I will need whoever this is to contact me ASAP to get their order plus the date that they transferred the money and a receipt for the transfers. Second person all that came through with their funds is 'DEPOSIT 5099'. Again i will need whoever this is to contact me ASAP to get their order plus the date that they transferred the money and a receipt of the transfers. I dont even know which forum these two guys are from so it might not be someone off here. Anyway im still waiting on the funds for the last orders to clear before i send up a full list of orders which will make it easier for people to spot if their order is missing and if the annonymous funds are yours. Cheers -Dave-

Yeah mate i can squeeze you in still, ive sent you a PM.

Yeah it was a bit weird as you said it was instant transfer but it wasnt in my account as i checked it straight away after seeing your post. Eitherway who cares the funds have come through today so your good to go mate :-)

Its pre-paid for the reason that its all a group organizing it for themselves. So the retainer is used for purchasing the kit from the US form Shine Auto Projects and then to pay for a mould to be made. Then the first copy comes out and is checked for perfection. If it is sub par then the bodykit place refunds us the money for the mould and we sell off the Shine kit. But yeah thats very unlikely as these guys have a very very high reputation for making quality gear. The biggest risk to each person is of losing $100 max if we dont get money back for the mould but ill be writting up contracts and getting them to sign them (their are fine with this) to cover us from been out of pocket. In essence is a groupbuy with 25 investors and im dont a lot of research to know all the ins and outs and this company will much us some quality gear. So considering these will be perfect fit and a very very rare kit (only 1 in the country as of now) $100 is little risk considering you can easily buy a knock off kit for $600-$700 only to find out its shit and spend another $1000 having it fitting perfectly. Another positive is that it will come in $1200-$1300 AUD cheaper than getting one privately from Shine in the US and ours will be made to Aus specs in terms of the number plate hole and lights as well as addressing certain minor problems with the genuine Auto Couture kit and the Shine kit such as: having brackets for the foggies, number plate holes and lights to suit are plates, fixing the small gap that the genuine kit is know for having under the headlights and top of the rear bar. It pretty much is a improved version as close as perfect as possible in Aus spec at half the price of the Shine kit and 4 times less then the genuine kit. So you have a better fitting and looking kit for less as no one is making money off this and is only for enthusiasts. Right now we are at 12 people paid with another 3 to come very soon. This is now officially confirmed of going ahead and the Shine kit to be used in the mould will be purchased and shipped out within a week from now. The estimated time that these will be ready is about 1-2 weeks before XMAS as the time frame looks like: -1 month to import the kit -few days to trial fit the kit, make corrections and modify it to have brackets for the foggies aswells as the number plate hole suitable for Aus plates. -1 month in a mould -first kit comes out of the mould and gets test fitted, if its up to my highest expectationsSo we proceed with getting all the kits made otherwise we walk away and get the money back for the mould and sell of the Shine kit to recoup costs. This is very unlikely but if it isnt up to scratch we get our money back. So really as long as you are sure you want this you will get a 100% perfect fitting kit or all your money back, so the retainer pretty much allows as at having a free look that these kits are made to our highest expectations. As for my reputation for holding peoples money im pretty well know for performing groupbuys on soarercentral.com and will also be know in here in about 2 weeks once people get their orders from my floor mat groupbuy. So i can be trusted not to scam people and i work my arse off to help people for free just because i wanted a kit but couldnt afford it at a single price for this is fore like minded people and by getting volume im able to afford what im after. Thats why i work for free :-) let me know if your interested or would like any other info mate.

Yep mate got your order and payment so your set to go. Yeah mate your payment and details are fine aswell. Yeah funds and details are fine so your all sweet. Yep your also ready to rock Yep got you down aswell mate, just waiting on money to transfer over. IF PEOPLE WANT TO STILL ORDER THEY CAN UNTIL TOMORROW 5PM, IM STILL FINALIZING THE ORDER BUT IT WILL BE SENT OFF TOMORROW SO YEAH LAST CHANCE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED.

EVERYONE YOU GOT THE REST OF TODAY AND TOMORROW IF YOU WANT MATS SO YOU BETTER HURRY :P

Alright this is confirmed to go ahead, only 25 of these kits are available Australia wide and for such a rare kit with perfect fitment and made to Australian specs for number plates and perfected much more so that the genuine article i think $1500 is damn good value. Anyway final pics of the kit fitted and painted. IF YOUR INTERESTED PLEASE EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST IN HERE OR PM ME. KITS WILL BE FINISHED JUST BEFORE XMAS HOWEVER YOU ONLY HAVE 1.5 MONTH TO PUT YOUR NAME DOWN OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE. Cheers -Dave-

Hey guys I have a serious problem here on my hands for 4 people. Four individuals have sent me money however haven’t given a decent description when transferring money nor emailed me any details of their order to the best of my knowledge. Anyway 3 transfers have happened very recently and the other one about 2 weeks ago. So if you have transferred money using a vague describtion around the times I posted above please get in touch with me at [email protected] so we can identify if this is your money or not and what your order is. In the next day ill get a full up to date order so people can check their orders aswell as see if the mystery funds are theirs as I have no details for these 4 payments. Cheers -Dave-

Yep no worries mate ill be waiting for it. Hey mate doesnt look like i got any emails dated today, did you send it off to [email protected]? If not send it there and ill have a suss. Well they have an Impreza G3 Hatchback pattern for Aug 2007 Aug till current. Ive been told by someone else from the Suprafourms that Impreza mats are exactly the same as Sti mats so i would think you would be fine. As for the 'Sti' i know they can do it ill just have to confirm if it comes in a pinky redish colour that Sti writting has.

Hey mate i just sent you a email back as i have finished going through PMs on here and started going through the emails. I dont know if you noticed this or not but its a groupbuy and from the get go the end date was the 15th of this month. Anyway check your email and ive pretty much answered what you asked on here and what you asked via the email. Cheers -Dave-

Hey guys replies to PMs will be slow as i keep getting board messages that i have to wait 30mins between PMs. Is any Mod or Admin able to bump up my number of PMs that i can send so i can keep on top of this groupbuy please :-) Really sucks sitting here for 3 hours to just reply to 6 PMs.

Hey guys sorry about the delay , my life has seriously been nuts the last two weeks. Just so you guys know i had my brothers wedding, then for a week after i played host to all the young guests showing them around, then last Sat & Sun was working a double shifts as i took a week off work for the guests, then on the Monday at work whilst i was writing my last reply i found out some idiot was planning on stealing both my Soarers so i got busy hiding them, then up until now ive been working double shifts to make some cash back to pay for rent and bills, and then yesterday my whole work was bought out by Caltex (i work for Liberty) so yeah was out of a job and looking for work yesterday. What a mixed bag of shit haha. Anyway im got no job now so i can go through this back log of PMs and emails and also answer questions in this thread. There you go sydking, thanks for that GTFOUR Yeah thats right mate, ill be checking my account info in a sec aswell as my emails for your postage info but yeah your all set. Yeah mate no worries, send funds through when you can along with postage details. Nah mate most people skimmed over the long first post so no one used the number system so dont worry about it. If you have made payment and emailed me your postage details then your all done. Yep no worries mate, if you want the logo on just the front mats then its $120 posted, if you want them to be on all the mats then its $130 posted. Hey mate no dramas, im about to go through my PMs now :-)

GTR logo with the 'R' in red is available however no one has fitted a set of gtst mats to a GTR. Had a guy that wanted some custom sets for his business and for customers cars for this tuning business but i havent heard from him. So yeah no one has taken a leap of faith with it yet. All i can suggest is to buy a set (that goes for anyone) and if they arent up to your standard interms of fitment just sell them back on here to someone with a gtst to get your cash back. Thats the only solution i can give you GTR owners.

TWO MORE WEEKS LEFT PEOPLE Hey mate i cant seem to PM you, says board message error but yeah you can contact me on [email protected] Yeah no dramas mate ill be checking my emails tomorrow now that my brothers wedding is over and all the overseas guests are gone. Same things goes for you mate, ill check my emails tomorrow as im off to work now. Cheers -Dave-

Hey mate the GTR apparently has a bigger trans tunnel from the normal gtst so it should still be fine just that the edges wont go up as high.

Hey guys just seeing if anyone is keen for a Auto Couture bodykit (through Shine Auto Project USA) to suit a Toyota Soarer. These things are over $6000 landed in genuine form however im organising 100% perfect fitting copies that will require no modification at all (unless your car has been in a accident then it might be out by a few mm). Anyway they are probably the best and most elegant ganster looking kit that came out for the Soarer. Ill be doing them at $1500 a pop if anyone is keen. Fitment is guaranteed and you will receive a full refund if that promise is not delivered upon. Pretty cheap way of making your car look 10 years newer considering the 1997+ update bodykits go for $1000-$1200 second hand which this is basically that same just a bit lower. More info here: http://soarercentral...html?1250603917 Pics of the fitment of the actual copy
