I do hope they are on the Up and Up, but actual REAL information seems as hard to find now as when i asked about it 2 months ago.
Trying to slam Hustler is Bad Form. As Doc pointed out, he's not the vendor selling the awaited goods. In fact, he is instrumental in this even happening, and deserves kudos. We are all frustrated w/ the wait, but as they say; good things are worth waiting for. Remember; we have a red-headed step child and aren't anybody's priority except our own.

Good things are worth waiting for?
Let me see;
1, Side skirts
2, Diffusers
3, Turbo
4, Diffusers 2
5, CF hoods 2
6, ?
There's got to be more.

Glad I'm not on any of the lists old or new.

Josh, You prove the point that good things are worth waiting for. The items on 180's list were obviously not "good things" because they didn't happen or turned out shitty.

Yeah I'd never ask for deposits, or a guinea pig. I am the guinea pig! lol

No seriously though, I understand start up costs and trying to guage interest but if you build it, they will come lol. So I see no problem taking the initial hit, especially if I'm getting something out of it anyway.

That's the way it should be, the first fiasco here that I witnessed I could see was going wrong even as they sent more money.
As P.T. Barnum said "There's a s...........".


The product in question finally required a Home Depot 'L' bracket to mount it on the car, the instructions to add the bracket were shown, I peed myself laughing. A book could have been written on that fiasco.
For those thinking they need a good plot to a book here is the thread. CLICK
We had threats of violence and mentions of Federal law being broken, the outcome was a real bummer, we had nobody breaking bad, or going postal (coastal in this case), not even a scraped knuckle.

Careful 180, I'm retired now, and going postal is still an option..... My son is working in Hollywood, CA right now. If I go for a visit, you never know who I might meet....

Non sequitur comes to mind here Dave. Unfortunately, this thread has really taken a skeptical turn. After talking directly to G.C., I feel confident that we'll see the goods. It's simply that it is taking longer than anyone wanted to imagine; as though this hasn't happened before, right? Subcontractors/vendors, whatcha gonna do? Dinner on me if I'm wrong Dave. Do you have McD's up there?

Prices are listed somewhere on this thread...I'm to lazy to find the exact numbers, but they are posted on one of the pages.

Yes, but without ANY info whatsoever on specifications or what is included in the kit (camber arms, sway bar links, etc) the prices may as well be in monopoly money...

I have asked several times on their FB page and through email, being very polite and thanking them for taking on this platform, not a single response.

Call them directly and ask for Donovan, he'll answer any questions you have.

Thank you, I will contact him.

That BEGS the question, if they have prices, and info, and have done testing, do you know what the holdup could be? I would think a few months would be enough time to get at least a few kits put together for sale or at least post the info on the website so potential buyers can get their answers and figure out which kit, if any, they would like to purchase. I know this is not your shop and you are probably just as frustrated as we are, but the way GC runs their business leaves a lot to be desired.

Les, have you heard anything, do you have a kit yet?
