Question Any one buy from this supplier: Wicked Porsche Design Center?

This company makes some atractive looking body kits, advertizing on eBay.

Anyone bought from them?

I've never dealt with them. Is it the same vendor as Wicked Motor Works?

I don't know. They have bumper covers, GT3 aerokits and such on eBay. I like the look of their front bumper cover that has the moulded-in top vent like the latest Porsche offering, as apposed to the add-on look one that is OEM from dealers like Suncoast.

I need to make a decision soon as I am involved in the group buy for the GT3 bumpercover through Suncoast.

IMHO if you sure you want an aero kit - just buy an OEM one.

Without getting a few good referrals, I would pass and get the OEM.

The cars they sell tend to be salvaged, but it is always disclosed.

Yes it is the same company and yes most of their "upgraded" cars have salvaged titles. From what I heard from my guys in LA that their craftsman ship is slightly poor for the $$$, I have not dealt with them but I have made a couple of inquires and they seem to have top notch customer service. But based on the cars they have sold or selling, they all look pretty sick to me.

Thumbs down Wicked Motor Works, The WORST Works!!!!!!!!!!

Wicked Motor Works, The WORST Works!!!!!!!!!! The worst experience, the worst service, the worst quality, and the worst job, completion I have ever experienced in my life. These guys know nothing about Porsche's, its a miracle they are in business. Do yourself a huge favor, RUN!!!! Save your time, and your money, and your frustration, and Google another Porsche place. You will thank me later, and if you don't you will find out the hard way, don't be a fool like I was. Wal Mart knows more about Porsches than this place, and they would do better work! I have to get the work all redone with someone who knows at least 1% about Porsches, like a place in Torrance, CA, or Vista, CA, or Fremont, CA or any Wal Mart. GOOGLE ANOTHER PORSCHE PLACE, unless you want to ruin your car, and I don't think you want to ruin your Porsche like these guys did to mine!!!!!!!!!

As you can see from the 5 year old thread you resurrected, a little due diligence could have saved a lot of headaches. Their products and workmanship have been discussed for a long time - not always good.
