I simply purchased a JZA80 Carbon lip from Ebay seller " dominicano1017 "
Seller communicated great until I payed for the Lip.
purchase was on 19 Jan 2021.
The item description they sates:

BOX CONTAINS:
1x CARBON FIBER RIDOX STYLE FRONT LIP TO FIT SUPRA Mk4 OEM BUMPER ONLY
Crafted from 2x2 Twill or Plain Carbon Fiber or Aramid Kevlar, a quality fit and finish is guaranteed, is a nice finishing touch to any vehicle that's show/race worthy.
Items usually ship 3 to 5 business days after received and cleared payment
IMPORTANT: All parts should be installed by a shop or a professional in the area to assure the best possible fitment of our items. Parts do fit really good but we empathize to use a professional to ensure best fitment.

I placed my order and waited 5 business days for a tracking #. Since then, the seller has not replied to any of my questions or provided any tracking pretty much ignoring me.
I knew there was a risk with this seller and I do not want anyone placing an order with high expectations with this seller. It feels like the same treatment another seller named " Javis Marte " from the Dominican Republic treated my buddy a few years back.

I will keep yall posted.

Dude is in the Dominican Republic, I would never buy parts from anyone from that area just reeks of a Scam.

 

[chevydude]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Javis again.

 

[okinawa-supra]

He actually replied this morning:
Im surprised because he never answered any of my previous questions about shipping in 5 business days.
We will see.
I hope he ships this way I can vouch for him as a good seller.

Even if this transaction works out for you, I would never characterize Javis Marte as a good seller. The dude has done too much damage to too many people to ever qualify as a "good seller".

[okinawa-supra]

Hey, my friend. This is who Javis Marte is....in case "dominicano1017" is one and the same:

Seriously screw you Javis Marte aka TBT Carbon

I made the mistake of meeting Javis Marte online about 4 years ago. I am not sure what I was smoking, but I thought it'd be a good idea to have some aero custom made by him. It has been well over a year and a half since the first large sum of money was sent. Every couple of weeks we'd add more...

[okinawa-supra]

Well i guess ill cancel the transaction.

 

[FasTTurbo]

sorry bro, the guys a piece of shit. You aren't alone he's fucked dozens of people.

 

[Ego0322]

Quick question, are these the same guys? Doesn't MVP motorsports use these guys?

update
As of this morning I still have not received a shipping # or clear communication, I went ahead and requested a refund this morning. This finally got his attention and wrote this:
(dominicano1017): Hi! I had messaged you yesterday telling you the box was leaving today, why did you open a return request? My name it’s Saul, let me know if you don’t want it anymore so I can just close it for your money back.

He never said the box was leaving today all he said was : "hi, Box its leaving this week". Which pissed me off because he never notified nor explained why shipping was delayed. He later sent me pics of the lip and packaging and said he could mail the package out tomorrow or I can get a refund. since I do want the lip and he did send me images I requested I feel like he may come through. I ultimately asked him to ship it.
Maybe I just got honey-dicke’d again. Shame on me.
By thee way, I asked if his his name is Javis Marte and he said his name is "Saul". 🤔
Worst comes to worst ill call AMEX and open a dispute. (Amex is really good at this).
These are the pics he sent.

 

[FasTTurbo]

I hope you get the item Nick.

 

[okinawa-supra]

I hope you get the item Nick.

Me too Matt.
Today he sent me a pick of the packaged item and shipping document. He also said he shipped it.
we will see.

 

[okinawa-supra]

Seems like it shipped. We will see.

 

[Ego0322]

Hey can you review the lip when you get it, I am curious the quality and fitment pls post pics. Is hardware included?

 

[okinawa-supra]

I have no clue if hardware is included. (not in description of ebay)
I will review the lip when i get it.

 

[denjil]

Do you have an update on this okinawa-supra please?

I placed an order for this same lip on 6th February. As 'okinawa-supra' said the communication before the order was very good, I also asked to confirm if the shipping costs were correct on the listing. I am now messaging the seller to ask if the lip has been dispatched but I haven't got any reply yet after 2 days.

[okinawa-supra]

well, communication was attained after i submitted a claim on Ebay. the tracking says its arrived in FL inbound and out of customs.

I purchased a bunch of parts from TBT Carbon Factory last year before learning about Jarvis and the issues members on SF had with him. The person I dealt with said their name was Nguyen Rodriquez. It took a while for me to get my parts but communication was pretty good and I did get everything I ordered. I am not endorsing the company or anyone associated with TBT Carbon Factory just giving my experience with them.
