Most new member are GC and V owners. Why would they buy from IS? They don't even know what the shark is!

Youngsters today know nothing about their awesomely powered roots.

Hate all you guys want I guess, but 80% of my V mods are from Mike @ Import Shark, with zero problems or defects.I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the OP must be the Seth guy now being FB b*tch slapped by Hyundai Motor Club for posting this same link.......sorry, I actually like IS and will continue to buy there and support them. PS- They carry tons of Veloster stuff, both turbo and non.

To be fair, it is pretty impossible to f*ck up a parts order. I don't see anybody getting moist over napa filling their orders, mainly because anyone who can read is qualified.

im sorry to say but im one of those people who have gotten bent over by IS and lost money. i try to encourage people to buy from other sources. IS isnt the end all be all of parts. if theres something you really want you can get it else where pretty easily without any complications.

  1. Bought a grill from Mike
  2. Took 3 months to arrive even though I was told they had them in stock
  3. Didnt fit properly & had really bad quality
  4. Emailed him about it to see what he can do
  5. Basically told me to F off and there was nothing he could do for me
  6. Filed a CC dispute
  7. Got my money back
  8. Left negative feedback with the BBB
  9. Bought a new grill from GC Tuner with zero problems and perfect customer service



So bottom line, if you are one of the very few who didnt scammed or screwed by Mike at IS, then you're extremely lucky. But for a majority of people out there, the process has been horrid.
