Staw512 who is a mod here on NT.com and running Mini sponsor section by offerin his Vinyl and Carbon Fiber pieces to member ripped us off and there is no way to contact him.

We have already given him chances and sent numerous PMs but he has yet got back to us.
It does not make sense that who is a #1 poster on NT.com and mod isn't online for over 5days and also going on vacations or going somewhere without giving us any notices prior when we have issues with him. We will take this as he is just trying to run away from the situation.

Make long story short, we've purchase his CF guage covers and paid over $1400 shipped to Korea so we can try his sets in Korean market to see how they sell.
I know he selling these pieces for living but we were promised that CF gauge cover will fit perfectly and it will not have cracks and scratches which was our primary concern.
When we got the sets
1. ALL OF THEM DID NOT FIT AT ALL
2. 1/4 guages were cracked and had scratches

We can not sell these poor quality products to Korean customers or internationally so we contacted Staw512. He got back to us that he would find out the solutions and was updating us about his new machine shop he's found and etc.. He was willing to help and told us to wait .

then he PMed us (sept 13th)
yesterday was the first time i got my hands on another one made from the 1st batch. I tried to find ways to make it not fit, but was unsucessful at that. I will say it was a snug fit, but after a little adjusting while installing, it did fit fine. At this point, there is nothing i can do.
Since his last PM he does not respond to his PMs

This is fourth time and 1st time in public that we are warning you, Staw512
- Get back to us with solutions or any kind of refund

We have saved all the PMs and transaction on paypal to back it up

Meanwhile, we want to suggest NT.com members and moderators.
1. he isn't suitable for being admin on NT.com after scamming off one of the sponsors and selling defective and unfittable products to customers.
2. He shouldn't be admin if he running away from the situation and not resolving any kind of issue including ours or NT.com's
3. He shouldn't be selling or offering any kind of products due to his customer service and quality of products so remove him from the mini sponsors.

This is just suggestion that we think that is needed
We will totally leave everything upto other moderators and admins.

i am going to try to get in touch w/ him. i called his cell phone twice but it just drops. it is very very veeeeeeeeeeeery unlike him to go offline for any extended period of time. i know he just moved back to school. i will notify him of this thread so he has a chance to share his side of things.

wait i just talked to him like 20 mins ago on NT i had some questions and bought some eyelines off of him i have three messages from him.

so how has he been offline?

#6 ·
I've never said he has been offline.
I can not be online for 24hours on NT.com to monitor him if he's online.
It's just that he could be online but not responding to any of our PMs after numerous warning.
If he was online 20mins ago now we are 100% sure he is just trying to running away from the situation.

if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. please do not clutter this thread and give staw a chance to reply.

darkcloud2266111, this is not the place to ask about headlights.

kdmguy, could you post up pix of the problems if at all possible? i am trying to coordinate both sides of what is going on right now.

There is nothing wrong or we have nothing against him except for the low quality and unfittable products that we can not even sell and paid over $1400 and lack of communications after all.

I have already sent STAW512 complaints where CF gauges do not fit, and he knew about the fact that those gauges do not fit perfectly.. that is why I was told to wait till he finds about any kind of solutions and we did wait till today. Note the payment was sent mid July.

Again, if he does not reply back to this thread or contact me any kind of way soon we will be listing all the PMs from the beginning. It isn't really neccessary here to discuss about the product without Staw512.
 
#10 ·
It is quite a bit shady, and I can attest, with how upset members here get upset when something shows up damaged or wrong from any of the PAYING sponsors, we have the right to be mad. If the guy has been online, and is avoiding communication, then yes, it's shady, he's avoiding us, and should be removed. We do that on my forums.

Jay, have you used TRACKING on your PM's to see if they are even being looked at?
 
Save
#11 ·
well, i know the PMs have been looked at. Jay, go ahead and post up the PM trail for all to read. I have heard from staw and for the sake of both sides getting fully out there i request two things......

1. pictures
2. PM trail

BMS Thanks for the help but why are yo posting for Staw and why can't you have him come here and post ?
Main point for this thread was getting his attention if he wasn't aware of the whole situation.
Since you talked to Staw and you got what he had to say then why hasn't he posted or replied back to the thread? is he just running away from the situation?
I do not see anything necessary to post pictures or PMs here in public because noone can fix the problems but Staw. have him come here or contact us .
As a matter of fact, there is absolutely no point for posting pictures because
Staw knew about the fitment issue and I was told to wait for the first batch on September 01 and this was the second last PM that I got from him..
update 09-01-2007, 04:02 PM

the newly modified die is nearly complete. it wont be long now until the first ones are made
Thanks for doing this BMS but please handle this matter like you never knew Staw.

Few PMs I am attatching,

sorry about the late response, this weekend was the moving, and we didnt have an internet connection until today. I am going to set up an appt. to look at the cutting press, and get some stamped out in a variety of materials and do some intensive testing.

^^ i am going to have to go w/ that.



The staff have been trying to communicate w/ staw. What I have so far is a picture of his work that is fitted in place. I do want staw to post here, but, for whatever reason he has not yet, I am trying to get this figured out for both parties. As far as the matter between you two, you called him out in public so I would expect to see the full story from both parties including pictures. I think that is a reasonable request.


The staff is grilling staw to post up here so we are working in whatever way we can to resolve this issue. The problem is, since this was a transaction conducted outside of NT, NT's involvement is at a minimum. Staw does happen to be a mod, but he also happens to be a mini-sponsor and sold product to you as a mini-sponsor. Being a business person, I am sure you can relate to NT staying out of this one. I personally am working on my own behalf to try and keep everyone happy. I can only go so far if neither parties are willing to post pix or post at all.

It just seems like every time someone orders something from you and it ends up being broken, scratched, or w/e it may be, you blame it on shipping... and what i have heard from him they fit with VERY little maneuvering and modification, so maybe they were scratched while being shipped. And again, pictures would help EVERYONE understand the problems you are having with his product.

So did you even contact us? if you did we should have got back to you but did Staw?
Every time you ordered from us?
So give us and pull up all the transactions what you've bought from us and damages in detail.
If any of our customers claims about damages we exchange for new products or give store credits for next purchase.. and That's our policy.
Oh everytime? 99% of our customers are happy and they get what they pay for undamged period. You can look up our feedbacks on Ebays and NT.com

Again just because you know Staw there is no point for you to getting involved and making yourself look like a fool here.
 
#17 ·
I still do not understand why I have to post pictures..
1. I am calling out Staw in public because he has answered my last 2 PMs on sept 1st and 13st and haven't heard from him since .. Also after warnings he failed to respond to us so we are posting this in public to let members know.
2. I was told to wait so I've been waiting for Staw to get back to us with some kind of solutions and he did mention about new machine shops and etc by last pms posted above.
3. He knew about the fact about fitment issues that's why he was seeking for new shop to cut new batches for us

So what is the point for posting pictures for unrelated people here? we ain't going to sell them nor Staw.. I did not post this message for people including mods or admins to judge this problem but letting you know how shady Staw runs his small business.
If NT mods can do nothing about it that's fine.. I am just trying to let everyone know about his shady business. Again getting money back from him I can handle it myself with my few buddies.
 
#19 ·
im not taking sides, dont get my wrong you guys are an awsome company and every time i have ordered from you it has gone 100% perfect, im just stating the obvious here...
 
#21 ·
Make long story short,

KDMguy-> Staw... but Staw->KDMguy Never
Buyer -> Seller..but Seller->Buyer Never

Get it?
Seller knows the problem but hasn't concated buyer for a long period of time and just ignoring communications and running away from the situations not to mention taking $
 
#22 ·
Funny thing I just found out about from few members is

Staw is bumping out his thead under his mini forum and it happened to be yesterday after I made this thread and admins/mods trying to get a hold of him

STAW Re: 03-07 Headlight/Talilight eyelines, Carbon FIber and Vinyl/Aggressive Yesterday, 06:21 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bump.........
Now I am pissed.
 
#23 ·
We understand the original intent of the thread, but I just don't see why its an unreasonable request to post up a pic of the pieces that "don't fit". If they truly don't fit, then the pictures will prove it. that's what everyone is getting at.
 
This post has been deleted
#24 ·
I know you are kidding but I did not make this thead to hear what others have to say or making jokes about it. Please anyone who's not involved in this situations stay out of it because it's not help me at all.
Staw hasn't got back to us by pm or replying back to thead when other could get a hold of him.. so he is just trying to run away.. Yeah keep running because we will catch you
 
#27 · (Edited)
Thread cleaned up a little. To reiterate what BMS231 said since some can't grasp that concept...if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Please do not clutter this thread. If you have questions about other items this is not the thread to ask it in. Either make your own or send a PM.

Thanks
 
#28 ·
i have told you everything in pm's. you claimed they did not fit and i told you i would look into it. i didnt have excess carbon at the time and couldnt get more in carbon for a lil bit. before i had another one fully made for supposed fitment problems, i had one more made, which i did get to fit, as i did the first time i fitted
 
#31 ·
Oh really?
So I am lying about the fitment you are saying?
Well I will be posting the pictures of gauges and will point out the quality issues and where they do not fit since you came up nowhere after calling you out for a long time.

Is that how you run your business?
Ignoring and running away from the situations when someone is complainning and looking for a solution?
If you have answered my PMs this thread has never been posted and all of my complaints shouldn't even have known in public.
What I am complaining about is we being ignored by a seller who we have paid over $1400..

I don't care what you have to say and it's already too late for you.
We will do my way to solve this problem and hope you are ready for it.

I am not trying to clutter either but: I think it would be good to see the fitment issues. That way, we as the buyer know what the problem is. I am not going to take sides either I think things need to be done on both sides. However, seeing the problems with the product show us what is wrong so we don't have to deal with the same thing.
 
#30 ·
kdmguy, why do you have such a big issue with posting pictures of the problem, maybe because of you having such a difficult time posting pictures, the mods/admins have a difficult time of actually accusing staw of anything. they have received pictures from staw of it fitting but no pictures from you (at least not that i am aware of) of it not fitting. so as far as the admins see it, staw has done nothing wrong, until you provide evidence showing other wise, just stating something is broken does not prove to everyone else that it actually is.
 
#32 · (Edited)
I have no big issue with posting pictures as a matter of fact I am picture-posting whore if you know about me.
Read my previous threads carefully before you make any comments
do not want to waste my time repeating myself.

Also NT.com mods/Admins can give feedbacks but will not be able to do nothing since this transaction has nothing to do with NT.com
I do not want Mods or admins get involved and they can't or should NOT tell me what to do either.
I am just letting everyone know about bad experience with this seller/admin on NT.com under Feedback forum also calling our a seller who likes to hide and run away from the products he sells.

Ok previous PMs
People, Read please.
I was promised that he would send out a new designed batch because he knew about the fitment... I was told numerous time to wait and NOW he is saying first design should fit.
If anyone wants, I will send out 5 pieces of his products to 5 people shipped for free
Try them out and give us and show feedbacks in public

That's how confi we are about his poor quality unfittable products, and none of you will be able to have them fit

hey, sorry it took a lil time to get back to you... i have limited internet access atm, as i am in the process of moving. some scratches are normal as that is in the nature of working with cf, but as fitment probs, i dont know. I test fitted them on my car at the shop to insure they fit before they were made. did u just place it down, or did u use the 3m tape to stick it down. Please be patient if it takes a day or so for me to get back to you, as again i have limited access, but i will do my best to answer sooner then later

We tried both and fitment is just way off
We are not happy at all with the fitment not to mention the quality of it.. Sorry to tell you this but we can't sell this set like this in Korea and get bad rep
Let me know
Thanks

I was promised that he would send out a new designed batch because he knew about the fitment... I was told numerous time to wait and NOW he is saying first design should fit.
I don't see those statements anywhere in your PM trail.

What I see is him saying he would test the fitment again on a new batch and you asking if you should send the original batch back. There were no promises made, and no retracting previous statements.

Where are the pictures of the item in place if the fitment and design is so horrible?


Mind you, I'm only posting as you've called out one of our Moderators and asked that his position on Staff be reconsidered. If you want to be taken seriously, provide proof of your statements. Visual proof. Otherwise this thread is going nowhere.
