Extremely nice guy would recommend him to anyone. Talked to him at the 25th Fiero reunion for a couple hours in the parking lot. He was very informative and I will do business with him one day.

Re: Kit Car Bad and Good Vendor List, Last Update: 13 February 2009

I agree with Hawk. I did the LS6 conversion with the G6 6 speed manual. Thought it was going to be the best thing since apple pie after talking with archie about it. I had problems and problems and more problems. Never will i do an archie conversion transverse setup in a kit car. Nothing works properly, the clutch has no pilot bearing, which is a vibration nightmare, the starter kept popping out of the pocket so I had to fab something up to keep it in place, when the car runs it makes a metal on metal squealing noise. The throw out bearing rattles unless you push the clutch in. Not a good setup. Plus it cost me a small fortune to do. Custom Archie axles were a ton of money and ended up just being re cut and re splined Fiero axles.

;D wow thanks love501 I just wanted to know whether they were real or not. Superreplicas just released a nother video of them using a lamborghini reventon as their kit car followed by a murcielago. Now I question whether they were real or not. Someone out there I hope finds out the truth about them. As for the question awnsered I really appreciate the advice and if I may ask where is used fiero parts located.

Fraud Alert - ROBSLP640

Scammed out of $81,560 dollars by Robert Ward of Phoenix, AZ - also known as ROBSLP640 . We had a written agreement that my car would be completed on or before May 21. I was promised and reassured constantly over the course of 3 months that my car would be ready in time. I even paid ten's of thousands of dollars extra to expedite the build. Days before my car was to be delivered I was told that he would not make the delivery date. As of this posting, he claims that he does not know when my car will be ready. This guy will promise you the world, and deliver nothing!

ROBLP640 scammed me as well he stole money and my body that I sent to him!

**Subgeo** · 04-23-2013, 04:23 AM

Anyone ever worked with Robert Lindsay of Spyders Inc? The RSK Spyder Website has not been updated in some time but spoke with him this week and he seems like he's still up and running. Just looking for some experiences good or bad with him, or any other company he ran previously. Thanks for the help!

**vkm083185** · 08-27-2013, 01:17 PM

THANK YOU for the list! It's very informatinve. I AM sorry to hear about your CarKitInc experience. I had a pretty good (not perfect, but good enough to work with) kit from them. I have really had good feedback on a continual basis from them, but I understand that each person's experience has been different. As far as the others, because I fabbed my own rebodies for some other builds, I don't have any experience with them, EXCEPT for Super Replicas. A good friend got ripped off by them. They are a TOTAL scam. Thanks again for the info!

**overzealous1** · 03-25-2014, 08:24 PM

dam, sorry to see some of the crap guys have run across. the internet breeds all sorts of crooks. i have been scammed only a few times on ebay, but that was before the new policy changes and in total it has been less than $500 total.

just a word of note to people, when you are asking for pics of your car or for work done, get them to give you pics with them holding a piece of paper stating the date and some other info like your name or their name on it with car in background. if they cannot give this to you within 24 hours, then start your resolution process. guys that are trustworthy will be more than happy to do it, guys hiding something will become apparent. also contact with other vendors they work with to make sure parts are being purchased is a good idea. an internet search can get you a long ways to finding someones address, relatives, place of work, and dealings pretty quick these days. best to get this info FIRST before sending any money.
if someone is not willing to take visa or paypal even if you are willing to pay the fee is also a red flag. i personally feel that forums should not harbor these guys and produce their info if it happened on their site for authorities or to the consummer so they can pursue. the fact that admins don't gives these guys a free ticket to do what they want.

Does any one know if this site is legit http://www.westcoastcustoms.tv/ thanks for your time
