Updates Tein hasnt given me an Exact date yet when all the rest of the dampers will be complete. It shouldnt be to much longer.
With the painting the guy did not feel comfortable powder coating them as he thought that the seals in the dampening ssytem might get damaged or weakend, so I made the judgement call not to compromise the integrity of the damper.
I took it to a professional shop to get painted, no cost increases same quality you would expect.
Sorry for everything, I am really tired of all this BS as much as you guys are, trying to do something nice and has become the biggest hassle for me. I know how much it sucks having to wait for your stuff.
I will keep you updated as I know more

K....I am back from hell.
!. My friends are morons and they apparently dropped off the dampers last week to get painted and never told me till tonight.
They will be ready tommorow......Hopefully
I will call the paint shop to confirm and pickup.
I will also be calling the vendor to see the status of the next shipment.....I dont want to take anymore orders until I can get a definite number on how many I can get. I still have people that are owed dampers long time due.
In relation to cancelling orders, deposits were already made I know this sucks and some people have made plans to be ready for certain events and shows but occasionally in the aftermarket industry things dont workout. So my deepest apologies to those that are inconvienced.

I am sure people towards the back of the list are getting frustrated and should in fact be able to cancel their order. I am one of those people and would appreciate a PM with info on how I can get a refund.
Thanks.

Can anyone just tell me how much he was/is charging.
I dont see why the price should be a secret.
I want to get some asap, and I found a place to buy them online, If its not much price difference, i'd rather not wait for this group buy.

I would buy them elsewhere if you want to get them timely. You would only be saving about $20 to what you can get them for on ebay and we have been waiting over 3 months.

Blu,
We all know you're busy and you're trying your hardes but this is getting a bit excessive.
I've sent you TWO pm's and I've posted here publicly about a refund. If you don't have these in stock, you should still have the funds available; simply send me a refund.
I can no longer wait this long for something I can buy for $30 elsewhere and have delivered in 4 days

So, are my dampeners in the mail or waiting to be shipped? I have "will ship" next to my name from the last edit. I believe I have provided all the necessary info when I originally purchased. I don't check the forums too much currently, lots of automotive things to attend to. I guess they get here when they get here. I have to get my car fixed after it just got hit by a bus anyway.

Any hints as to when this order might be shipped?
30. MidLife8 (Powder Coated Black) (Paid)
It has been a long time coming and I haven't even checked the thread since August and am surprised to see no progress on my order.
Thanks.
