TBSGrahpics

During my quest for track bodywork I came across www.tbsgraphics.com. He's a reseller for Sharkskinz, Hotbodies and Godfather bodywork. He orders the bodywork, paints it for you to your liking and then ships it out.

Frank was absolutely fantastic to deal with. There were some snags along the way with manufacturing, but none were his fault and he did his best to make sure I knew what was going on. Every email that I sent was answered within 24 in a professional and corteous manner.

There was some damage done to the tank cover during shipping where something rubbed a quarter sized hole into the paint. Outside of that the paint is beautiful. The parts were packaged well, but stuff does happen. He's sending touch up paint at no charge to fix it and filing a claim with UPS.

Two thumbs up for this guy

Re: TBSGrahpics

Did you buy the plastics and fit them first before sending them off to TBS? Just wondered if you had to deal with fitting it without damaging the paint job.

I went through him for all of it. I didn't see the plastics until they were painted. I put the tail on last night and ended up having to cut the undertail out because it wasn't flexible enough, but outside of that the fit is perfect. Same goes for the tank cover...it might as well be OEM. Haven't really tried to mount any of the other pieces yet, but I'm not too worried about damage.
