A friend tagged me on Instagram for one of his pictures, and he really is just "ofo" in Japan, without a care in the world. The picture I was tagged in had him driving one of the tuning shop's NSXs. I couldn't have been cheap to get there, or do all of the traveling he's doing throughout as well as buying any umber of items with customers' hard earned money. He ripped you guys off, plain and simple.

What's beyond me is the whole time I've been against this scam artist, so many on this board are following him blindly just because of his retarded looking Mad Max wannabe racecar that will never, ever see a track.

Well said /\/\. Everything on his car is useless, doesn't see a wind tunnel, no proof of anything with any function, he's just following a fad with people in Japan who do track there gt300 and super time attack cars. Can't support a fake wannabe and a rip off with shitty over glorified fender flares

Wow sucks for everybody who got scammed. But everything about how he handled everything was obvious he was a tool. The moment peoples ordered weren't showing up way back when, yea I was always suspicious.

Some people just don't have any integrity. This is a perfect example IMO. This is speculation, but maybe he has money from his parents or something and CG is just a side business for him, so he doesn't really care if it "makes money" or not.

I did see something where he was only releasing "a limited quantity" that way it made it more desirable or something. I had a good laugh.

Limited quantity, what a bleeding joke. More like "fly by night", if anything. Wonder why that one guy ho got his, highwaystardoritos or something isn't around here defending him. If you follow his Instagram like I used to; you'd swear they were the best of friends.

Yeah the so called "exclusivity" is the same reason why those god awful taillights are sold for $1,800 a pop. Glad someone's being innovative, but people are sheep.

Also, from what I've seen the fitment of these fenders is really bad... Gaps galore.

The standards for what "fits" is just SO LOW nowadays. The rear overfenders were molded off his car using an AP1 rear bumper (narrower than AP2) yet those instagrammers think the overfenders on AP2's look just fine, huge gaps and all!

What seems to boggle my mind though, is that he's spending time with Nakai-san, the creator and founder of RWB.
Nakai-san literally flies around the world installing the body kit that he designed himself for Porsches. Nakai-san is constantly working and doing everything he can to please his paying customers(who pay a large dime for those kits)

But why does Stephen not take anything away from that? He calls Sakai-San a good friend, yet attains none of the qualities his "peer" has.

I put down my deposit, but after reading all of this, I don't really have any hope to get my money back or a desire to fully purchase his flares. It a run around which isn't worth any of our time. It sucks to be deceived by someone who made their initial intention to please and give back to the s2000 community. Maybe the amount of money and orders overwhelmed him, so he just took the money and stopped caring about all of us. It's selfish, but he isn't the first one to backstab a community.
