I was shocked that mine was not broken. It said fragile all over the box and it was smashed in top and bottom.

Did we use enough bubble wrap?

Guys, I have the dash and the rear diffuser being done in CF as we speak. I suspect the first part is about 2 weeks away.

I think you did a great job... I just don't understand these shipping co's. They treat all packages the same... doesn't matter if it has fragile all over the package or not. :frown :frown

Any photos of the dash piece or price yet?

I will have a price for the dash, rear diffuser, side skirts and front diffuser next week. Be patient!

It's great to have guys like you who have the connections and motivation to go to the trouble to have pieces like this fabricated. The big boys wouldn't gear up to produce these items in the low volume they will command. If it weren't for enterprising guys like you we wouldn't be able to buy custom parts like this. Thank You!

Before I commit to buy the dash, does anybody know how hard it will be to change it? Don't need it if I can't install it.

ABO, just got home and got my tailpipe surround. Excellent quality. Yes, you used enough bubble wrap and peanuts. I'm very impressed and look forward to front and rear diffusers. Frank

I just got mine in the mail today. I just hope it does not take as long to install as it did to open the box.:lol

Who ever packed it deserves an award.:cheers

The nice thing is that there are two layers of bubble wrap for the kids to play with...

Nope. Its a 42 MPH 40' Sportfisherman that I designed and built.

Thank you for the CF piece. The whole job took one beer.:cheers

The only issue I had is that the phillips head screws were brittle and rusty. I had to replace them with better than Ford Quality screws.

I have a few buddies that build boats here in Sarasota. I am sure you have run into them before. It looks like a nice boat that you build.:thumbsup What is the name of your company?

Mike - just cam home last night after being out all week. Found the UPS been here three times note and today went to pick up the piece. After waiting in line for 20 min (one person ahead of me), the box finally showed up!

I can say that the "UPS" box was scary to look at but after spending one cigarettes worth of time of unwrappping it. They thought I was nuts at UPS as I kept tearing into the wrapping and making a pile of it in the UPS stations garbage can - ~ 1/4 can's worth:rofl

I finally got to the CF piece - all I can say is WOW :eek


Thanks as I know you put your personal time into this to make it happen for all....

Please place me on the list for an exhaust surround either for one remaining or the next run of pieces. Thanks for making these great CF thingies available.

I received my exhaust surround and will be installing it next week. It is an extremely nice piece of work.
Keep me on the list for any additional pieces!
