I hear you Ziggy, but retail and manufacturing are 2 completely different things. Today I faxed down the diagrams for the BOV and Throttle body flanges to be laser cut. 5.00 dollars each by 40. They'll be done and sent back in a short time as I explained my predicament. This may seem like its taking longer but in reality it isnt. Besides mine has the custom ones and their only 1/4 plate and had to use washers and leaks were inevitable. Thats all i'd need once everyone got them and id rather avoid that. I figure 3-4 days and the units will be shipping. I also picked up 10 3" intake pipes today and will weld on the 3"-2.25" steppers and recircs {for those that ordered..} tomorrow. Ofcoarse I will never do a group buy deposit deal ever again. And I was unaware untill 2 days ago about the carbon fibre hood fiasco. So I see where this is coming from.
Again, Ive kept good contact with everyone. I didnt lie to anybody I WAS lied to. This deal involved me and 5 other businesses that seemed to be in no hurry as an order for this size {small by manufacturer standards} is a low-nill profit margin for them.
