Post Vizage Scam on Ebay

Just to warn anyone interested in buying a Vizage kit on Ebay, Do not buy from (blitzbumper) this is a ripoff scam! They are not an authorized dealer and do not have any kits.










If it looks to good to be true, that's probably because it is!

I see people bidding on those kits every week. Seems kind of weird to see someone selling it for $110 while others sell it for $550.

BTW: How do u know, has a buddy of yours tried to buy one??

I am an authorized dealer and the manifacture doesnt even know this person. The shipping time from a real dealer is 1 week from payment, $150. doesnt even come close to wholesale!

I just bought one a few weeks ago on eBay from Octane Motorsports. I got it for $560. I would advise anyone that is interested, that Octane Motorsports is authorized to sell them.

It would depend on how many are interested in a GP, we sold them on Ebay for $600. with free shipping at one time compared to highoctane's $560. plus $95. for shipping.











P.S. To whom it may concern I am only responding to a question not advertising!

Yes, he's not certified dealer so he's making knock-off kits. None the less, though, it's cheaper! He's making tons of money selling it for cheaper whereas I see the Octane Motorsports barely selling anything, what's that tell ya? It's too high priced!

Just to inform you, blitzbumper is definately the best bang for the buck way to go for a kit. Sure, it's not "vizage" but you'll be the only one that knows that, and your wallet will show it.

I guess you think the blitzbumper realy sells kits! The idea of the scam is to tell people it takes 3 weeks to receive your kit so he can scam people out of there money for about a month or more before they relize what is going on. He has already made at least $10000. and noone has received a kit! One guy posted negitive because the scammer didnt want the sign his real name to an exspress money order, he doesnt use online payments because they will reverse payment when they find there is a problem. Even to make a knock off kit the cost would be a lot higher unless you are making it out of foam.

Personally, I would love a vizage body kit on my car, but I can't afford it. If they lowered their prices, they'd make up for it by the amount of people that could afford it and buy it.

wow I have to agree...it looks nice, but $600 for what amounts to a ground FX package seems pretty insane...

Quality <> Price

The suggested retail is $680. and we have listed them with a starting bid of $1. and they always seemed to sell for around $550. Most all the kits we sell retail in the same ball park! Urathane is more costly than fiberglass. It only takes about $40. worth of fiberglass to make a kit and $300. for good urathane!

I have to agree with Al@368 , I bought a Vizage kit too and the quality it worth the money you pay. Besides, when is 500 - 600 too expensive for a bodykit? Come on people, get real, most bodykits cost around 500 to 600 to begin with.
