Just a heads up everyone. Do not buy anything from this company, its a scam. The head guys name is Jose Patino, and it is out of Brownsville Texas.

Their website has alot of awesome interior upgrades for camaros, But it is a scam.

I ordered a set of carbon fiber pillars for 600$ and it was supposed to take 3 weeks to be shipped. Well after the 3rd week he started ignoring my e-mails and i never recieved the product.

The company is called Concept Fiber Interiors, AKA CFI.

Seemed legit at the time

Beware of organizations based in Texas. They have much less restrictions there, just google TaxMasters and see what they did to their "customers". Almost got away with it too.

Think I would try picking up a phone, rather than relying on email.

Yes they suck. I blew the whistle on them a long time ago when they were under their old name and a sponsor of this board. They closed up, moved into another suite in the same building and changed their name to this one. Always shady.

They used to be called the carbon fiber specialist located in same buiilding lol.

Their communication was awesome over phone and e-mail until it was supposed to be shipped. Then they will not answer the phone either. Its been 6 weeks since it was supposed to be shipped.

Indeed. They were booted off here just after i posted that up. Paypal is your friend dispute it ASAP. Hope your under 45 days. You will win hands down but be advised if they do not have the money in their acct or a way to get it from an alternative method Paypal cannot help. Get it in now. They have been doing business as the new name since a few weeks after my post went up. Hell he even pm'd me on here asking to do the job he failed to do weeks before basically telling me he saw my post and wanted to help.

I questioned this and asked someone i knew at DSV who is also right by them and it was confirmed to be the same guy, company. They had previously made a few parts for DSV until he was let go and opened his own shop.

You only have a 45 day window with Paypal to get your money back. Better act quick..

BigL11 · 07-16-2012, 02:24 PM

Its been past 45 days, if i cant get it back its just another lesson learned!
