WARNING!!!! Do not purchase or order any auto fiberglass panels or

parts from this company. I and many other customers have been lied to

and ripped off. In September 2005 I called Showcars and spoke with the

owner Rob Johnson about purchasing a 442 Oldsmobile fiberglass ram air

hood for my car. Mr. Johnson lied and told me he has one and in order to

ship the hood it has to be prepaid and to have the money, $1,202.68

including tax transfered to his personal bank account. So, like a

trusting idiot, I did. Big mistake.

I patiently waited a few weeks and no hood arrived, so I called Mr.

Johnson and he lied with some lame excuse and said it will be shipped by

the first week in October. No hood. I kept calling him about 2 or 3

times a week, and every time I called he had some excuse why he

couldn't make the hood. It would take too much time and space to tell

you all the lies and excuses, but you get the picture.

Eight months later and what seemed like hundreds of phone calls the hood

arrived. Upon inspection by my bodyman, the hood was so poorly

constructed that it would not even fit on the car, so I took photos of

the mess and shipped it back. I told Mr. Johnson I wanted a replacement

by the end of June, giving him 2 months to make a new one. Well June

came and went and after many phone calls, I asked him to forget the

whole thing and refund my money, which he said "we don't give refunds here."

In late September 2006, just over a year later, he sent a replacement

hood. The hood will not fit on the car. So now I am stuck with this

poorly made useless pile of junk. Now after telling others of my

misfortune, other people are telling me of similar nightmare stories.

So I checked with the Better Business Bureau in Kitchener Ontario, and

found that Showcars has 14 registered complaints and is not responding

to the BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues. Showcars in not a

member of the Better Business Bureau.
