They are SCAM! I drove 2 hours and I paid $440 for this dented bumper with sensors and without the grill for my 2007 Lexus LS460 in their shop! They didn't say they are selling it AS IS so I though the sensors are all working. They also told me there is 10% fee if I pay with Credit Card! So I paid with cash and came home. When I tried installing it during the weekend, I found not only the sensors are damaged, but the sensor wiring also doesn't work! I called them and they said they wouldn't do anything for that and they don't take it back or refund me since it is sold AS IS (they didn't say that when I was buying it though!) I paid with cash so I can't do anything about it. I recommend you to STAY AWAY FROM THEM and also PAY WITH CREDIT CARD wherever else you shop so that you can dispute from your credit card company in such cases.
