yeah like your natural problem to rip people off.
i like how you try to give respect. sending back a garnish that shows the oval and sand marks will clearly earn you the same"respect" back.

If you bothered to read anything you'll see that when he got it, it looked fine. So it came in good condition no oval or anything. A few weeks all of a sudden it appears? I don't want to say owners error... But what els can I say...
The thing is I offered to fix it for no cost at all even though I cant be held responsible for that. But instead he insists on trying to ruin me which isn't going well, he should have taken the free offer to repair.

you did sh!tty work, you should back it up.
i have seen your work in person. quite frankly, you ARE responsible. you don't know what you're doing. That's why all your garnishes have turned to ****.
he should have taken the free offer to repair? yeah ok, and would have waited HOW long to get it back?
i have looked at other forums, read some of the user's comments. everyone is all on the same page here. your business is one giant scam.
and on another note, i thought you weren't going to take any new orders until you fix the orders that have already been placed? there are still a lot of people here on SL that don't have their garnishes yet. explain that.

If this is true, what is the point of ANYTHING EVER having a warranty?
I can buy a tv that works and looks perfect, the day I buy it. Does that mean it can never break due to manufacturer error?
Why does a car have a warranty, if what you say is true, that its perfect when received so any defects after that are owners error?
I do not know about how you make them, and hate to speculate, but paint fade, expansion of material, improper curing .....ahhhh...I dont feel like even typing more about it.
wwwooooe, did he just go there

I should have checked this forum before buying from the guy. I ordered a bumper plug and key hole plug almost a month ago. No communication. Tried to email and got nothing. Tried to PM here and got nothing. I just filed a paypal dispute. We'll see what happens.

iKONA,
I gave you so many chances to "do the right thing" and make things right. There are many ppl out there that have been following this thread for a long time. I was really ruting for you in the beginning. I know that you were starting out. You have some money back and I really appreciated that but at the end of the day I gave you over a $100 for something that I am ashamed to have on my car. The more I look at this garnish teh more upset I get.
I have to get thing fixed and it has been like 4 months since this all started. If you didn't leave me with a bad product I would be on your side. The partial refund was great but as time went on I still paid money for somehtin that look like ____.
I have the right to be upset. I have the RIGHT to let ppl know .
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARE ABOUT OTHER SCION OWNERS!

when i got my garnish done, i was nice enough to give him my broken garnish and he turns around fixes it and SELLS it with out giving me anything for it...shady man stay away from him!
oh and his "keyhole covers" suck also...
im getting mine redone for a fraction of the cost and time locally.
and on top of everything he also promised me the garnish by a certain date and missed it even when i had paid extra for shipping.
no one should trust a KID with a business. this guy is only a damn teenager. i should have thought twice before getting mine done...

I will also share something else with everyone here. It would not be difficult to file several small claim suits against IKONA to get refunds due to shoddy work. Arrive at court with garnish....said and done.
If you all are this upset about it give him the option....refund in good faith or time to go to court. He will end up paying willingly orthrough court order.
P.S. Brings up another question IKONA......do youhave a business liscence and tax ID number? Just curious.........hmmmmm.......wonder what would happen if you didn't ?

I was going to scoobasteve it but he stole my cf cubby panel/ acrylic cubby panel design idea by buying mine and copying it.
He also is starting to get some bad feedback about turn around time and your local so I can just drop it off and pick it up when ever its ready. If its ok thats the thing I dont want to intrude.
No weave in particular the customer says, what ever looks great. Also would I need to clear coat it? Or is it ready to put on w/ out premature fading in the future?
LMK
Thanks
