    He knows he is finished as a business,so most likely trying too sell of the unfinished junk he has as a last resort.

    I ordered a front bumper for my Silverado truck and waited 17 weeks with excuses after week eight and still have not received it. Finally started posting comments on his Instagram and finally received a refund not the bumper. Steer clear of that business.

    I created an account just to be able to post, its that bad. Currently at 26 weeks waiting on a 3rd brake light. I've only gotten one reply that was telling me they had extended their turn around time to 8-16 weeks. This was after I told him in the email it had already been 23 weeks. Been emailing ever week since January.

    Doing some Googling looks like he's getting sued by a lender out of the state of New York for breaching their contract 1 month after signing. Interesting read.

    I plan on disputing the charges with my bank.

    Holy fuck

    $300 for a $10 piece of metal with a few cut outs? :bananadead:

    That's a 2 minute job after you've already got the design for cut out!

    Currently at 31 weeks for a 3rd brake light housing. "allegedly" he's not taking new orders so that he can catch up. The last message I got was he'll need another 4-6 weeks to get me my housing. So by the end of May, I am supposed to have it. We'll see.
    :duh:

    I've been asking every other week where my order is and I keep getting super short answers like "very soon" and "ASAP". Half the messages I get back don't even make sense as answers to my questions. Still advertising new products and pushing sales, but not delivering on orders placed last year.

    Just a question

    How'd you run into his website?

    Sucks for anyone that has money invested but it makes me wonder how this person became popular to the point where they've got so many orders but can't fulfill any of them

    I'd been doing a lot of searching for pre-runner bumpers for my truck, looking for something that wasn't $1,200+. Instagram started pushing ads to me for his company after that. I started following him and seemed like his stuff was decently priced and looked good. When he had a 50% off sale figured I'd pull the trigger and see what his product was like.

    Almost a year later here we are LOL.

    I apologize. I know Andrew personally, and helped push him for a bit at the start. But he screwed me over too, several times. So now I just warn people. Another reason he blew up on Instagram was because he did a bunch of free work for Evan (Blackhat) of Terra Crew, so they promoted him for a bit too.

    I see his truck drive by my station all the time where I work. Dudes never at his shop when we run calls by it. Not surprised to read this stuff. A local buddy of mine lost his truck there for like 3 weeks for a quick install. Sucks the terra crew and black hat are cool dudes too.
