Bulletproof is slow.. GoTuning is one of the best retailers I've ordered from.

Have you tried contacting Bulletproof directly? I ordered my Volk wheels through them and it arrived at my door in 2.5 months, which was nice since they quoted me 3 months.

lol like there arent plenty of go tuning sucks comments too every shop has them especially when high priced hard to get parts are ordered by ansty people. Sorry but personally I would have called Js Racing Directly paid for it, called fed ex to pick it up and a week later have your exhaust. Same thing with the bumper.

^^^
If I was doing it myself I would get the bumper from C-west USA - where i got the last one.
and the muffler from evasive where i got my last muffler.
but Avio Coach Craft placed the order and I was to busy to talk to them first.

So I guess I have to wait.
next time I'll remember go tuning too!

side note for westsiders -
Avio's is amazing...

a little intimidating having the S in the shop with all the Ferrari and Lamborghini..

but the guys there are very cool.
When I dropped it off John the service manager said "pop the hood.. what's that I hear?"
and then called out all his guys to check out the comptech.

Nice guys.

I like Bulletproof and I haven't had a bad experience with them, but I will admit that at times there is a long wait for certain parts if they aren't in inventory. I waited 6 months for my Amuse widebody from BP, but I will say that it was well worth the wait

Sometimes waiting is just normal for JDM parts

I personally like RHDjapan. Since they're located in Japan, the parts come direct to you. Their selection is okay for our car, but sometimes they can special orders parts.

Parts coming from Japan should really take 4 weeks at most once the container leaves port. Usually it is 3 weeks but sometimes clearing customs causes delays with the shipment. We had a container come from Osaka that only took 2 weeks to arrive.

As long as everything is in stock, it shouldn't be longer than 3 months to receive your product. I imported an AMUSE GT1 Widebody for the s2000 which took about one month to arrive in the states.
