There are a TON of complaints about people not recieving various parts and getting the general run around. Search the lounge and for sale/feedback sections for "demonspeed". You'll start looking elsewhere.

1. Do not send those clowns your money.
2. A buddy of mine has their lip (purchased from a 3rd party), I've seen it and it does jut forward a bit, seems to fit well, but doesn't have enough mass for my taste - the part that juts forward isn't very thick and cracks easily. The S5 urethane oem looks way better.
3. Buy elsewhere.

I believe that, since DS started selling those lips, I am probably the only forum member to have successfully purchased one from them. I bought mine AFTER the first round of bitching on the forum(s) about non-reciept of orders. Douglas, the guy who runs it, was pretty nice and I got my lip very quickly, albeit on my terms of COD. In doing so, I offered to help him re-establish his reputation, and for a while it looked as if things had turned around.
Yes, that car pictured on the website (the black t2) is my old one, from last year, before I traded it to a friend.
Now that friend is repainting the car, and due to some curb damage needed another lip. Well, as far as I know, it has been a good 2-3 months and no lip for him. However, he did buy a clutch through douglas and we recieved it in a timely manner. But, still no splitter, last I heard. Im beginning to wonder again.
As with any transaction, use caution and cover your own ***, perhaps a bit more so here.

Do COD.
I bought two lips from them a year ago and I never recieved it from them. They only sent me a Thank You Card.
I recommend you purchase a lip from MikeL over in the other Rx7 forum or buy one of my Feed lips
Becareful with Demonspeed. That is my 2 cents

Yes its true
I have Kevins Old Turbo. I am repainting it and for weeks had been talking to Douglas back and fourth about the lip (that I have already paid for). He seemed like a really honest guy. Either way everything just stopped. No more emails, no more replies, no nothing. I am very confused. He went from a great communicator and shipped out other stuff I needed to a ghost. A ghost with my money for the splitter. I am not mad. I guess I should have heeded the warnings. But since he has a picture of MY car on his site I thought he would have no dicked me. I don't know what he is gonna do. I but I have some plans.

I'd make sure it fits on your car before the UPS guy leaves with your money...
If it's one cent over the agreed price, refuse the shipment.
COD makes it easier.

But im pretty sure ill get it... i already talked it over with an agreed price, and a 25 doller deduction (cuase i bitched and wanted the shift boot that they no longer carry) So anyway, im doing it COD and iv had nothing but very good experience with them so far.....
