    I got a cold air intake from AFE. The lid they sent me for the cold air box is the wrong one. So i go and call 4 Wheel Parts tell them my problem(i bought from them). So i called and they tried to contact AFE and no success. I sent 4 Wheel Parts an email saying whats wrong(they told me to do this) and included pictures of how it doesn't fit correctly. No response from 4 Wheel Parts as of after christmas when i emailed them. Then i went to the 4 Wheel Parts store myself and told them whats wrong and they said they could reach AFE at all... For some reason. They give me AFE number i have left 4 messages on their machine and no responce from them. So i would like to say both 4 Wheel Parts costomer service sucks in my oppinion and that AFE really sucks. i pay $400 for a cold air intake and they cant seem to send me the correct stuff for the box. So i dont think anybody personally should buy from them. If they cant help a costomer in nearly a months time what good are they? :confused::confused::confused::confused::mad:

    Did you call when they are open??
    Try this number for AFE maybe they can transfer you. Good luck.

    EDIT: But in all fairness, 4wp should be the one replacing it, especially since that's who you ordered through.

    Funny how you suddenly get someones attention when you start airing their dirty laundry to their potential customer base

    you're welcome for the suggestion btw :p

    Still cant believe its been that much trouble to get a new stinking lid for an air box

    I hope the stuff you got for your lift works better! I dont need a Tacoma stuck in my garage for 3 weeks

    Thx for the heads up!! I went by the one on W.Colonial looking for Rims/CAI and stuff.. customer service was really poor and didnt' seem to want to help. Left and ended up buying a CAI on CL from a former Taco owner..
