To the best of my knowledge he is NOT our buddy. I wonder if Hella is aware of him. It says 100 % original markings. Could be a big NO, NO.

BBB has a listing for him address is 5579B Chamblee Dunwoody Rd # 322Atlanta, GA 30338-4128 -
See more at:
http://www.bbb.org/atlanta/business-review...h.firjmCqx.dpufLooks like he's running a business out of a shipping center. Or may actually have an office. Either way looking at the website looks like he's amassed some commercially available parts and is reselling at a premium. He's listing the stainless bumpers that originate in Vietnam, and some other 911 parts that are commercially available. Doubtful he's actually making these.

Begs the question- do you really want to buy from someone who tries so hard to hide their identity?

I purchased a set of authentic Hella front turn signal lenses from our AA friend in Atlanta and they are clearly reproductions. Yes, they do say Hella on the lens but you can see the quality is less than Hella where the halves are glued together and the amber has bled down on the the uppper clear part of the lens like it was sprayed on and had a run. I would not be surprised if there is a connection with this seller if it's not actually one in the same.

An interesting thread on Ferrarichat about him. The person dealing with orders and such seems to not share a name with our buddy, for what that's worth. But boy, the sales tactics and reactions seem pretty darned familiar...

Hell, do you really want to buy from someone called MrFiat?
