No news isnt allways bad news, and custom parts with custom paint should never have a deadline. Especially guys, when you are funding this product and project. Most start up's rely on members, trust, and a little faith to get a product out. You guys knew this going into it. Half of u want to file claims and u really don't understand how much you are getting for how little. Lastly when your making a name for yourself you want a product to be flawless, i have been there. Do i buy the dropped box story not really, but i dont doubt the product wasnt perfect and it was sent back to be resprayed. for what its worth this is a car we all charish and we all want everything we do to it to be free of imperfection, the 6 feet rule doesnt work here..... Perfect Quality isn't free and it may take a few trys when its not in your control. Imagine getting a scratchd strake you all would have flamed the hell out of this poor guy. My two cents; they should have always been offered as primed, paint is impossible to deliver. Keep people in the loop through pm's, always tell the truth, you would be surprised how far a simple I am sorry I need more time (when it's genuine) will go. Members, sit back, relax, let the kid pull through........ You took a chance on seeing a prototype cell phone pic ohhhhhhhh And leave your strakes on untill these show up in the mail. .
