Why bother with shady vendors when you can purchase directly from the main distributor. You'll get better service, more accurate ETA's, and rewarded for being a loyal customer. Whatever JDM parts you're looking for, reach out to Bulletproof Automotive (James McKibben in sale). Even if the brand isn't listed on their website, they can acquire almost all JDM brand parts. I got burned too many times in the past from third party vendors so I only purchase directly from Bulletproof now.

Dull area is finish completely missing after my car sat at their facility for 10 weeks for a job that was completed in 1-day.

Long story short, my car was at their location for 2.5 months. A bit long if you ask me for a header/exhaust install, but they were in midst of prepping for SEMA, but my car was there from 9/26 - 12/7/19. My car is 100% garage kept, no scractches/swirls/dents/dings, it had new wheels. I picked it up on a rainy day, I waited several days for the weather to clear to wash it. After washing it, I realized my coating on both my new rear wheels is missing. There are small spottings and you can tell it was wiped in a side-to-side fashion, with the towel they used leaving fine scratches on the parts that are now raw metal. Crazy thing is, I asked for a walk thru/around of the car prior to leaving. David and myself did a walk around to check for damages after I had told him my car is immaculate. After I got into my car, I noticed David do another full walk around before going into the office. Fast forward to now, David is not acknowledging the condition of my car or that he even did a walk around. If I request a walk around because I'm anal about my car's condition after stating it has no scratches/dents/dings, it has new wheels, etc., you should take note of everything exterior related as I just said the exterior is perfect. But no, not in my case. Avi (one of the owners supposedly) told me my car will be stored in a "safe location". I received a text by him after addressing this issue of my wheels, and he said, "your car was stored on the side of the building". Great. 2.5 months stored OUTSIDE after I told them how everything was perfect. Now I took a loss on $2,500 wheels as Work Wheels said these are not repairable (I got everything custom thru Work Wheels Japan, I paid extra for gloss bronze lips and inner barrels, gloss black faces). Both owners, and David (sales or manager), denied anything. MY CAR WAS THERE FOR 2.5 MONTHS! Anything could have happened under their care. I was not expecting this customer service for a customer that spent $20K with them. Avi said at one point, "We can't afford to lose money on every customer, we only made couple grand off your order". Makes me wonder how many people have had problems with them.

When I finally went here I finally understood what craftsmanship and attention to detail mean. I got my orange Tesla wrapped elsewhere and took it here for repairs. The detail is insane and these guys spend all day wrapping Teslas, Porsches, Ferraris, and other high-end vehicles. The difference between a budget wrap and a Bulletproof wrap is night and day obvious at a glance. If you want the absolute best quality work on earth go here.

I've been a long time customer of Ben (the owner) ever since 2006 when i got my Honda S2000 and i met him and his talented staff. Generally I've made smaller purchases such as Hyper Rev Magazines and they've treated me with great respect and professionalism. I've often refereed friends there and they've been treated wonderfully and have gotten some really trick items, like one off set of Limited/ Top Secret branded Volk wheels, Top Secret parts, and J's parts and Aero. Bespoke/ bulletproof isn't your run of the mill drive-by-night performance shop they've got a real depth of product available and they can give you premium service. They can sell you an accessory or part but if you chose the service doesn't stop there, as they can help you get your dream car made with their network of partners via Bespoke motoring, meaning they can do a purchase of say a new GT-R and then get it built to how you like it, want a 1000hp Tuned Varis X Topsecret kit bash show car with Magical paint, done, they can do the whole project for you and you just need to pay them and pick up the car. Or if you're just a regular Joe they'll happily point you the right way as they've been in the import industry for many years. Anytime anyone needs a rare JDM product i generally refer them to Bulletproof, they might not be the cheapest route often but they can get it NOW, FAST, and they will only sell you high quality items. Basically anything in a current Option magazine or Hyper REV they can get. I recommend contacting the staff via phone for any rare Japanese parts needs, specialty / exclusive products as they often are the direct source for these products and often what you want will be in stock. If you don't know what, I would you want call them, the staff is knowledgeable and all enthusiasts, so they can make you some suggestions. Anyway I want t thank Ben the owner and his staff for all the great experiences over the years and for being such big supporters of the S2000 community. **update** the bulletproof website has been revamped and done in a modern wordpress looking theme and looks 100% better! It has modern image sizes, a moving marque, and tabs for easy navigation. I'm very impressed !

My powerhouse amuse exhaust from bulletproof

I would love to thank Mark Borushko and his team. I were able to get parts that nobody else could get. And I can express their customer service is second to none. And I love how all their price include shipping to California, taxes and duties so there isn't any hidden fees. I recommend them to all my friends. I look forward working with them in the future to build my dream car!!!

Also, when I had some wrong lug nuts delivered from a third party, Mark jumped in immediately to correct the shipment!

Everardo A, was a great help. Excellent service and attitude on a Saturday morning!…read moreAppreciate him answering all my questions regarding my battery. Will definitely return to this location

I had a disappointing experience with a cashier during my recent visit to AutoZone…read more When I approached the register, the cashier seemed uninterested in assisting customers and was engaged in a conversation with a coworker instead of focusing on the checkout process. During the transaction, he openly complained about his manager, specifically mentioning that his manager had repeatedly told him to put his phone away. He went on to say that he had no intention of following those instructions and would simply wait for the manager to walk away before taking his phone back out and continuing to use it. This conversation took place in front of customers and created an unprofessional atmosphere. Throughout the interaction, the cashier came across as rude and inattentive, showing the same dismissive attitude toward customers that he was expressing toward his manager. After I paid for my items, I asked for a bag. The cashier abruptly responded "We don't have any" and shrugged his shoulders. He made no effort to offer an alternative solution or even acknowledge the inconvenience. My merchandise was simply left on the counter, leaving me to gather the items and carry them out myself. Customer service is a major part of the retail experience, and this interaction reflected poorly on the store. Employees should remain professional, focus on assisting customers, and avoid discussing workplace disputes or disregarding management instructions in front of customers. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used as an opportunity to improve the customer experience. This took place on Tuesday, 6/16/26, between 5:00-5:30pm at Register 4.

Due to a series of unfortunate incidents, I found my car's battery had completely died on Sunday…read more Just an horrible end to an absolute awful week. So I did some research into replacing the battery and found that Advance Auto Parts offers free installation, AND battery registration. You have to register the battery in a timely manner, or your car won't charge your new battery properly and it won't be as good. It's basically telling your car that "hey, you have a new battery at X Ah, take care of it". For my particular car, it's $90+ of gear/software on top of everything else. I went into the store, Esteban was immediately there to help me locate the correct battery and help me install it. Seriously went above and beyond to help me. Btw, while they do installations and stuff, they can't see in the dark. So depending on the time of year, installations can end as early as 4pm. Highly recommend this place for your car needs, especially if you're not confident about battery, wiper, etc... install.

Shoutout to Steve for GREAT customer service. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for and…read moretook the time to talk through the different products/options/prices. He gave me his honest opinion and made me feel taken care of. He also installed the battery I purchased and was able to successfully troubleshoot a hiccup when the terminal was stuck. Ask for Steve when you go in and you're guaranteed to get an exceptional customer experience.
