I just did mine with some raw vinyl, turned out really good especially for a free job.

I had been looking for these front bumper inserts/stickers for several weeks and couldn't find any on-line vendors still selling them.

This thread recently directed me to "Autoall.com" site, where I immediately placed my order. $30 was steep for the sticker....$15 was absolutely outrageous for the shipping...but when you're the only game in town I guess you can charge a premium.

I ordered mine, the payment immediately hit Paypal.com...and here I am 9 days later with not even a simple confirmation email from Autoall. I was starting to get worried until I saw that others have ordered and it may just take awhile.

I'll give them 10 business days before I call (number is on their website).

Be patient. If AutoAll is like some of the other vendors, they are custom made and take about 2 weeks or so before they ship to you.
I would call to confirm your order, but don't be surprised if they tell you it will be 2-3 weeks before you get them.

Just an FYI for everybody, I placed my order with AutoAll on the 14th. Received an email that same day saying that my order should arrive within 10 business days. Today is the 12th business day and still no package. Normally I wouldn't worry but I've also emailed him twice during that time, once to ask if the order would be coming via FedEx, UPS or USPS, and again 2 days ago to ask about the status of my order. Neither of these emails have been answered. I would strongly advise anybody thinking of ordering from this company to wait until Musky and I get our orders.

Please let us know if and when you do receive your part. Alot of other members have complained about how long it takes them to "make" the part then ship it and ultimately to receive it...

I did get an email back from AutoAll after submit a form on their website asking about it. The person asked for my order number, which I didn't have because their website crashed after I hit the submit button. They took my money out of PayPal though. I'm going to give up in a few days and request a refund from PayPal. This place is feeling like a scam or a one man shop that does whatever they feel like.

Man, you guys are impatient as hell.
I admit, their communication may not be that great, but we know they are custom made and take time to be shipped.
Deep breaths, fellas. Deep breaths.

Why are you defending this place? Have you had personal experience with them and know they are a reputable business?

I've literally made hundreds of aftermarket part purchases online for various vehicles I've owned going back 10+ years. I can count the number of times on one-hand where I didn't get any confirmation email, no tracking #, and had difficulty getting in contact with the company. MOST of these instances turned out to be trouble situations...whether with the company, the order, or some other problem.

I've placed an order and dont' like what I'm seeing, so I'm keeping a close eye on them. It may be impatient, but IMO this is not how you should conduct sales online.

FYI - Been 24 hours since I've sent them a message through their "contact form" on their website. Letting them know its been 2 weeks since my order and I would like to know status. I expect a reponse within 1 business day. Not too much to expect.

3 weeks and still no delivery. If it doesn't come tomorrow I'm going to send him a final request for a status update. If I don't my order or at least a return email by the end of this week I'll be filing a claim with Paypal.

Sent my 2nd message to this company via website form (since email address is apparently dead) a week ago and still nothing.

Its going on 4 weeks since I ordered this thing...no emails, no confirmation, no tracking #'s, no acknowledgement of any type....and now...no responses after 2 attempts to contact.

I'll try once more and then straight to PayPal to open up a dispute. Anyone else have more luck than me?

So far from me, my message is Buyer Beware.

You may want to try to dispute it with paypal before the 30 day mark. I think another member had an issue with an exhaust he purchased and could not get his money back because it was after a certain period of time. How about contacting the BBB? Sorry for the bad juju bro......

PayPal gives you 45 days to dispute a transaction. I'll still plan on starting it before 30 days though if this goes into next week with the same status.

Just filed a dispute with Paypal. 4 weeks with no package and no response from the seller is too much for me. First time I've ever had to file a dispute with Paypal after hundreds of transactions over 8+ years BTW.

Complete BS. Just filed my dispute with PayPal as well.

Going on 4 weeks, no response to 3 attempts through their website contact form. Email address is dead and bounces back. And the icing on the cake...I called their direct # as shown on their website...rung about 6-8 times and then got the "...the number you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable".

This place is either out of business or way too shady to deal with. I should've done my research before I placed the order....sad thing is that I know better.

I've also submitted a PayPal claim. I'm going to give them a few more days to respond before I escalate it up to PayPal.

Got my refund from Paypal today. I guess it wasn't meant to be. That's okay, I was kind of iffy on decal anyway. What a loser seller BTW. Hope the rest of you guys got your money back too...

It's all good. Not your fault. I appreciate the effort.

Total loser. Pretty much the worst internet transaction I can remember. Makes you wonder how a place like that even stays in busines.

Are they domed? How did you mess up, are they just vinyl? Do they look like they have been hand cut, I read in one of his feedback replies about this.

I got flat black and I do think they look pretty good for just $10! I might keep them for awhile and see if they last

I am looking for domed decals too. I have to replace my front bumper after a minor fender bender and would like to have the domed decal again on the new bumper.

I just bought this last week.

I'm giving fitment an 8/10. The vinyl does not fit the inlay 100% perfect but with some creativity you can get it damn close. I had to cut several letters very carefully with a sharp utility knife, you want as clean of a cut as possible so the 2 halves blend together nicely.

Here's the final product:
