As far as I know the issues was handled, I dont know if it was a refund or the parts I'll call and ask him
My experience with Bangastang.
I was entered a the photo contest put on by Banastang to win a set of coil covers (see picture below). Only one other person entered the contest (His name is Dave and I know him personally). The contest was set to end Oct 13th. I posted on their page on Oct 15th (after getting close to 200 more likes than than Dave) that I think I may have won it, to which Bangastang replied with "We'll announce today".
Well a few days go by, so on the 18th I simply asked if I missed the announcement. No Reply.
I wait a little while (Nov 8th) and posted on their page asking about a winner, and asking Dave if he heard anything, to which he said no and that I "killed" him. Please keep in mind, Dave and my photos were still up on Bangastangs page. Once again, no reply from Bangastang.
I wait even longer (Nov 18th) and finally send them a direct message:
"Hey guys, I know ya'll are probably pretty busy (modding season is here), but just curious about the photo contest that you had for the coil covers a month or so ago. I think it ended up being between myself and Dave Watson and he said he hasn't heard a winner announced either. Thanks guys."
Once again, no reply.
At this point I'm beginning to really feel like the whole contest was a joke and I was getting the run around so I sent another message (Nov 24th):
"I'm not really sure what the run around is all about, and I couldn't help but notice the pics are gone (from your page at least, see one of the screen shots below). The only other gentleman (Dave) that was in the contest I know personally, and he wasn't notified as to a winner. I really hope this isn't some shady business practice but it is really starting to seem that way sir."
I attached one of the screen shots I had taken (see below).
What do you know, I got a reply the next day:
"It was brought to our attention that Facebook made some changes that doesn't allow us to host a photo contest like we did in the past. Post of photos do not remain on our page like they did previously. Dan we can't find the photos that were posted on our Fan page to see who receive the most likes.
We've downloaded an app that is on our Facebook page that is suppose to host a photo contest. Click on the icon that reads Cobra Photo Contest and download a photo of your Cobra. Hopefully the app is working.
Dan, please accept our apology but we had no knowledge that Facebook had made changes that limited our ability to host a photo contest."
After talking to a few friends about it, that run businesses and have contests on their facebook page (they called bs on facebook removing the photos), I decided to call them.
The conversation was pretty much them reiterating that they couldn't see who won because the photos got pulled, but be sure to enter their next contest. I simply explained that they said they would announce a winner on the 15th and the photos were on their page for OVER A MONTH after the contest ended before they were taken down. It was a pretty pointless conversation that I didn't record, but hopefully they did and would be willing to share it on here if so.
So, I won the contest for nothing. Fuck Bangastang.
CLIFFS
1. Entered contest for Coil Covers (Only 1 other entry)
2. Win Contest by 200 likes.
3. They say they will announce winner. Never do.
4. Ignore every message until I call them out for being shady.
5. Claim facebook removed the photos (Were view-able for an ENTIRE month after the contest ended).
6. No coil covers, "Please enter another contest.
7. Yeah, fuck off.

Don't get me started on bangastang. I had a terrible experience with them and it took me sending a fax and letting them know I am the vice president of a large new York club that they were once a sponsor or. I paid them over 2k and took them over 4 months of bullshit and lies before I got a refund.
As for your contest, I cannot state anything via Facebook, but my good friend did win a battery and master cylinder covers through there site. I am guessing there lying thieving asses are looking for an excuse not to award a winner.
They do not have a real address, I hope rasmus can find the owner. The only thing I got was a residential home in ca.
Best of luck, screw bangastang.

Bangastang is a total scam. Sorry you got deceived by them but at least you aren't out hundreds of dollars for an ordered part that never showed up. Chalk it up as a lesson learned.

I pre ordered a set of Supersnake wheels with these guys
I will say this I had a custom order rad cover made and I had no issues
They made the cover without the cut out for the Steering reservoir It turned out nice.
I hope the wheels go as smooth

even the other family you maintain in El Paso?
He's just down the street from me. If you use Google/maps it'll give you the street view.
I meet him a long time ago at a car show, but that was it.

I'm a little busy now, so I don't have time to look into Blacksburg and Atlantic, but I just got your current address from cross referencing your iphoneogram pictures with your imapmyrun logs. Londonleaf Lane?
