Put in a dispute through Paypal regarding this saying that if I can't get legitimate tracking information for the headlights within the day then I expect a full refund.....

Magically I get a super quick email response showing a credit for the full amount. The credit hasn't hit my account yet, but it did take two days for it to initially come out so I guess I can wait that long....
Well at least it looks like you're getting your money back. Sorry you had to go through the bs.

Still waiting on that motor to come in lol

PLEASE take pics of it before you even touch it

When I did it the guy never responded, so paypal gave him 10 days, and after the 10 days paypal automatically refunded me. Longest 10 days ever lol.

Dang bro that sucks... like the rest stated hopefully everything works out, whether it be getting the money back or getting the headlights. You should do an unboxing video of the new motor when it gets in... lol

ill take pics for sure. I'm at the two Weeks mark now. From others I've seen, hmotors has been shipping a bit slower than before but also packaging everything better. My last engine I got from them took about a week and a half.

I was expecting to be ignored but I guess I got lucky.

So it's... any day now?

After you get the motor are you planning to jump right in with the swap, or what?

Yeah it should be soon. I won't be on the swap quick because I want a ton of special bits. I want to knock out a few upgrades before I ever install anything. Plus I have a lot of the swap pieces to buy.

Im losing my mind waiting on this engine to arrive, and im sitting around 1800 towards a EP3-R transmission. Its gonna take forever to get this swap complete with the parts im trying to use but once its running i shouldn't have anything to regret.

Fitment, depends on your actual ride height, tire size, camber, and fender modification. With that wheel size in the +25 offset you'll definitely need to do some fender work to get them to fit properly even with a really low profile tire. You can pull them off but it won't be as simple as throwing them on and rollin'

Finally got my refund money back from showstoppersusa today. I love how the invoice on it now says that the headlights are still on backorder but not too long ago they were on the way to me.

Oh well, i'm still considering the new type r transmission so we'll see. I want to buy the most expensive swap pieces first and work my way down. So that's means the Trans, ecu with kpro, and header are first up.

trust me, im excited to see my motor as well. Im going nuts waiting!!! Haven't done any new pictures of my hatch...been taking some pics of my mom's new Can-am sypder










But i do have news......I've been DDing the hatch and today my exhaust note got a bit deeper. Found a cracked ghetto weld on the axleback section of the exhaust. Decided to scrap my Thermal R&D exhaust idea (due to the sound) and ordered a few things to rectify the situation. Then i got a lil happy shopping....but you guys/gals can wait for pictures later :lol:
