Anyone has experience with purchasing from car gym?

Hi guys,

As my car has aftermarket HID lights but my headlights equipped with regular reflectors I would like to purchase new projector headlights with angel lights.

In addition, I would like to update my rear end look with M style LED taillights (red and smoke).

I checked some overseas websites and find those products but main problem is that shipping those products to HK will cost a lot- over 150$ for parts worths about 600$.

I noticed Car Gym (www.cargym.com) got those parts and although they sell those parts slightly more expensive than overseas I don't need to pay for delivery so it will still be cheaper to buy from them.

My main concern is they're product quality, I'm afraid after several month water will enter the headlights, electric problems etc'.

All website using same product images so it's difficult to tell anything from that.

Does anyone here have experience with car gym and can tell me if it was good experience, if he had any problems with them or with the products.

Thank you!

Yes Terrible service and the lights I received did not fit. After I returned, he sent back one that does not function. I sent back again and never heard from Ronno Ma again. Cargym is one of those companies who does not value customer reputation as long as he can get away with few hundred dollars.
Cargym does bad transactions !

I went there to check on the m tech kit. He has no idea if it'll fit or not without modifications, he'll claim that its 100% fitment but once you start asking him in depth questions like, will i need an air duct or will this cause the car to overheat. He'll just say "body shop will know what to do". Speaking of which, i got a paint job at his referred body shop. Car came out with swirls on the hood and it had filler on the edges. Also one of my headlight washer caps is broken (tab that keeps it in place). Got back the car and the interior had filler on the dash like if the C Fu went in with dirty hands... Detailed the car right after, couldnt' stand it. For my bmw brethren that loves their bmw's, don't goto that body shop or cargym. Just multiple layers of disappointment and grief.

Cargym.com and Ronno Ma is bad news. Always tries to get away with problems that they caused. NEVER USE this company.

I'm going to the states next week, so I'm most likely going to take my headlights out of my car and bring them with me so i can get the rings replaced with LED's.
