ERIC KO and BAUS AUTO: TERRIBLE
So my situation started last summer August '12. A guy named ERIC KO approached me at one of the LTBMW meets last year because I had a 135 and he had made a "custom trunk lip" which I happened to like. He offered to paint it and sell it to me originally but I wanted to have it molded to the trunk and repainted. He agreed to do so for $550. He said that I would need to let him have my trunk for 2-3 weeks.
No update 2.5 weeks later. I give him a call at the end of the 3 weeks and he tells me that there was an issue with molding the lip and that the current weather conditions weren't ideal for what he was doing with my trunk. Basically some BS reason that he gave me because he couldn't come through on his original agreement. So he asks for a few more weeks and he will keep me posted. Weeks go by no call, so I give him a call. He says that he was in the middle of moving shops and it may take a little longer. A few more months go by and still no updates. I call him once again, on this phone call he proposes me a new deal. He asks if he can use my trunk for a mold in order for him to mass produce them in double-sided carbon and in return I would receive the first unit for FREE. So of course I agree, this was a longer process so he told me a lead time of 4-6 months longer. Fast forward to May '12, I have had to continuously call him prior to this to get any updates. I finally get a hold of him and he tells me "100% in by the end of May". He then tells me on June 5th that he will have it in two days. That was the last I heard from him. I have continued to try and contact him, BAUS Auto and facebook message him. Do any of my fellow members have any idea of what I can do? At this point I just would like an oem trunk back paint matched to my car. Currently I have been lucky enough that my friend also has a 135 in the same exact color and he has the icarbon trunk and he has been nice enough to let me have his trunk for this entire period of time. PLEASE HELP This is completely ridiculous to me, I am so frustrated with this situation and I don't know what to do anymore. I have filed a complaint with the BBB. They have tried to contact them as well and they havent responded, obviously. So it puts my complaint on a public record for BAUS Auto but gives me no resolution to my problem. Please help me out guys, it sucks there are still people out there like ERIC KO and BAUS AUTO. Any information on how to contact either of these parties would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance guys and thank you to all you honest, hard working vendors out there who deliver products and stand behind your word!

That is how I see it too. Have you tried contacting his local police department and trying to get him on theft?

I would talk to the police and explain the situation with them. I am actually a vendor on the G35Driver site and am very active over there. I have seen alot of G35 peeps get screwed over by him. I was actually set to buy some parts for my old G coupe but this was starting to happen at that time. Glad I didnt.
Hope you are able to get this worked out |
