Isnt that the scam car floating around craigslist??

isn't what the scam car on craigslist? it better not be mine! that means someone snagged a picture and is trying to "sell" MY car, if it is shoot me a link to the craigslist ad please.

so im glad to see the mixed feeling about this cf rear lip, anybody else that was in on the group buy top 5 install theirs yet?

:dsm:
 
I dont understand??? Shouldn't they have test fit it MULTIPLE times on one of 'their' cars before they sent those out. Wouldn't you want it 100% before your customers receive it? Doesn't make to much sense to me. Honestly, it looks like crap. Hopefully you'll get it back in better shape.

Good point. No one has brought that up yet. Makes alot of sense.

1st rule in marketing...do not set expectations you cant meet.

2nd rule in marketing...if bad news must be given...give it early...not late
 
Cut 386 customs some slack. They said they would fix them and they would. They are receiving feedback about a product they made and are going to fix them and more than likely improve them. As far as them being thin, do you really want something on your rear bumper sticking out like the sideskirts on our cars? The lips are thin for a reason.

No, but they are so thin you can see through them. How much more slack can we give? It was estimated to be done in 4-8 weeks tops, this would of been perfect for it was 2 months before MOD when first payments were made, guess what its been 7 months already. No offense to anyone but it seems that frustration and dissapointment has slowly been building lately. If I left that $180 ib the bank I could of double it with interest.

Do you want them thicker so it'll stick out like the side skirts? How thick do you want it? Cause it seems like no matter what from what everyone is saying that there is gonna be disappointment.

With a new product there area always bound to be bumps in the road. Expectations was set and some did not measure up to them. Get over it, that's life. They are doing what they can do fix it so people are happy. Regardless of what everyone thinks about it, I think its a good product. Body kits are produced out of molds and are not perfect.
 
Unless you are Bernie Madoff, there is no way you can double your money in a bank in 7 months. You would need to find a bank that pays roughly 231% APY. If that was the case I wouldn't need a job anymore.

I was exagerating the point. A monkey would of got that joke.

Ok you have obviously not seen the finished product upclose yet, when you say stick out like a side skirt, our side skirts stick out like an inch and a half, the finished product that I have seen upclose, is as thick as a credit card! Thats a big difference than your side skirt comparison. I'm just saying it would be nice to have it thick enough to where you don't see the color of your bumper behind it, when the actuall product is installed. If you like that then thats great, but there's a reason why 80% of the buyers are dissapointed. They expected to see the product that was introduced to them in the first place.

that would be the way to go, it really looks good! Somewhere in these forums was a guy with a riced out 2g but it had a defuser on the back that looked sick, that would be another route as far as small(er) accents to really bring out the beauty in these cars.
 
Any updates gofer? Have you gotten the lip back?

:shhh: i haven't sent it in to 386 to be reworked yet :shhh:

i trashed its original shipping container (two oversized shoeboxs with the ends cut out) and im having a problem finding a replacement.

Go get some cardboard and make your own box, not too hard :thumb:. I do it when I ship awkward items like that.

Keep us updated:cool:

maybe if my car was running 11.74 @ 117.7mph in the 1/4 the first thing id do is skip my happy ass down to the cardboard store and engineer a box for that cf lip. at the moment im trying to get my car running 13's like i built it for, not 15's like it is... and that lip isn't gonna make me faster. :coy:
i apologize but you fellas that were later down the list in the group buy will just have to be patient, its been since may as it is...

:dsm:
 
It wouldn't be so bad if it was something that you made you know but to buy a product like that it just sucks. Maybe someone will look at this post and make a really good one that is cut out straight and goes all the way down instead of how it is. Sorry you bought that man.
