What Sets K2 Industries Apart?
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know this will actually fit my car?
How do I know this will actually fit my car?
Every part listing shows compatible years, models, and trims. But here's the thing—trim packages and factory options can be confusing. If you're not 100% certain, text us at 772-277-2495 with your VIN or photos of your car. We'll verify fitment before you order so you're not stuck with an $800 part that doesn't fit. We've done this for 30,000+ builds. We've seen every weird trim combo and factory option. Takes us 2 minutes to verify, saves you weeks of headaches.
What if the part arrives damaged or is the wrong item?
What if the part arrives damaged or is the wrong item?
We handle it. You don't fight with freight companies or file claims. Text us photos within 48 hours of delivery. If it's damaged or wrong, we ship a replacement immediately. You're not waiting 6 weeks for a freight claim to process. We eat the cost, not you. This is why we package everything like it's going to war. But if something slips through, we fix it ASAP. No forms, no back-and-forth, no "file a claim and wait." Just text us and we handle it.
Can I install this myself or do I need a shop?
Can I install this myself or do I need a shop?
Depends on the part. Emblems, front lips, some spoilers, bolt-on, DIY-friendly, you can do it in your driveway with basic tools. Full bumpers, hoods, wide-body kits, possible for experienced DIYers but most people take them to a shop for paint and install. Check the product description for installation difficulty. If you're unsure, text us. We'll be honest about whether you can handle it or if you should take it to a pro. We'd rather you know upfront than get frustrated halfway through.
What's your return policy if it doesn't fit or I don't like it?
What's your return policy if it doesn't fit or I don't like it?
30 days, unused parts in original packaging. You pay return shipping unless we sent the wrong part or it arrived defective. Once you install it, modify it, paint it, or mount it, we can't take it back. That's why we push so hard on verifying fitment BEFORE you order. We don't want you stuck with something you can't use. Text us before ordering if you're unsure. We'll confirm fitment so you never have to worry about returns.
Do you offer financing?
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Affirm and Shop Pay available at checkout for orders over $50. Split payments over 3-12 months depending on order size. No hard credit check to see your options. Most people use this for big-ticket items like body kits, suspension setups, or wheel/tire packages. Rates vary based on credit. You see the monthly payment before you commit. Makes it easier to build now instead of waiting months to save up.
What if I have questions after I receive the part?
What if I have questions after I receive the part?
Text 772-277-2495. We don't disappear after you buy. Fitment questions, installation issues, "does this bolt go here" questions... we'll walk you through it. We've installed these parts ourselves or helped hundreds of people install them. You're not getting transferred to a call center in the Philippines. You're texting someone who's actually installed your part before. If we can't help remotely, we'll recommend a local shop that knows these parts.
Why should I buy from K2 instead of eBay/Amazon/other sites?
Why should I buy from K2 instead of eBay/Amazon/other sites?
eBay and Amazon sellers don't answer fitment questions. They don't verify your VIN before shipping. They don't handle freight damage claims for you. If something goes wrong, you're filing disputes and waiting weeks. We're builders selling to builders. We verify fitment before you order. We handle damage claims same-day. We answer texts in minutes. We're not the cheapest, but you're not gambling $800 on whether a part fits. You're paying for support, verification, and someone who cares if your build goes sideways.
What does your warranty cover?
What does your warranty cover?
1 year against manufacturing defects: cracking, warping, paint peeling, hardware failure, fitment issues caused by the part being made wrong. Does NOT cover installation damage (you cracked it bolting it on), road damage (curb rash, rock chips), or normal wear. If it breaks because we made it wrong, we replace it free. If it breaks because you hit a parking block, that's on you. We're fair about it. Send photos and we'll tell you honestly if it's covered.
Shipping
Do you ship overseas?
Do you ship overseas?
Yes, we ship all over the world. Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. We run discounts and promotions all year, so stay tuned for exclusive deals.
How much does shipping cost and when will I see the total?
How much does shipping cost and when will I see the total?
Depending on where you're located, small parts can ship free. Large parts like bumpers, hoods, and body kits require freight shipping. Uou'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Freight usually runs $150-$300 depending on size and your location. We know it's expensive. We negotiate the best rates we can. If you're ordering multiple large parts, text us. We can sometimes combine shipping and save you money. We're not hiding fees in the final step. What you see at checkout is what you pay.
How long will it take to receive my order?
How long will it take to receive my order?
It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
