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.

30! I'm #9 and I don't have mine yet! :uhh:

Blu: this is getting ridiculous!
I have tried to be patient, I have sent you PM's, I have posted on this thread asking you to reply to my PM's, and NOTHING!!


You added my name (Anonymous :D:) when you updated this thread on 6-3-07 and yet I have heard NOTHING as to the progress of this Group Buy. I have since asked you at least on two different ocassions to refund my money as I have lost all faith in your ability to complete this Group Buy.


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.
Deposit? Deposit for WHAT?! Are you telling me that you put down a deposit SO big for ALL these dampers that you don't have any money left over to refund a few sets?? If so, that's piss poor business management. A purchase order deposit should never be more then 50% of the total purchase so where's the rest of the money ????
I just so happen to have a copy of the Cashier's Check I sent you and it was paid on July 9, 2007.

You're right; at times things do not go as planned but typically in the aftermarket world, people step up and take responsibility for their actions (or lack of) and do what is necessary to remedy the situatoin.

I do not feel I am being unreasonable in my request and I have a feeling I am not the only one here who feels this way.
I am asking that deviate from your prior statement and issue me a refund by the close of business on Friday or I will need to persue other means of recovering my funds.

Not sure how that changes anything Blu.

When are you expecting your next batch of dampers to arrive?

Blu, I still do not have a refund. Please contact me about a refund within the next few days.

IF you continue to ignore my request then at least have the courtesy to follow my 2nd requst.

If or when you receive my dampers... DO NOT PAINT them. I paid for paint, keep it.

Can you please confirm that you read my post about refund or not painting the dampers. I honestly don't mean to be a bother to you, I just want to make sure that at the end of this GB that I just get what I want. (refund OR unpainted dampers)

Don't worry Master Jedi.......

The force is with you.

The dampers have not been lost to the dark side.

See your PM's as my blacks came in on Tuesday or Wednesday, but the site has been down.

Got my set. Painted, well packed, and undamaged on first inspection. Certainly glad I don't have to check this thread anymore.

I win!!

Installed my painted black ones this morning and all is good. Was mildly concerned what the paint job would look like, but am fully satisfied.

Couple of notes and comments: See the pics as well.

1.) I would recommend assembling the dampers the night before and letting the thread glue(loctite or whatever) have a chance to dry. I did that assembly and then just let them sit in the foam protectors all night.

2.) Don't throw away those foam protectors around the dampers either , as I used them to wedge between the hood and the windshield area just for protection in case I had trouble and got tired of holding one side of the hood with one hand while undoing the bolts for the hood bracket, sliding that bracket in(make sure you put it between the hood and the stock bracket....see pics), and putting the bolts back in. It's a piece of cake, but better safe than sorry.

3.) I was afraid that there would be a pretty big gap from fender to the hood after install, but to my surprise it's really not that bad. You can make some very minor tweaks for alignment after you are done, so you might not want to torque them all the way down on the hood side . See pics, but look at your gap real close even before you start, so you will get a good idea of how much it changes without having to measure it.

4.) Total time for install was less than 20 minutes for sure. Oh........don't forget to take out the stock hood prop bar if you like. Just pry out the black plastic piece on the drivers side like any other plastic retainer.

5.) Digital cameras are great, easy to take a bunch and then just delete!! I know it's a lot of pics between this thread and the next, but everyone likes different angles and pics also help to make a decision on whether to do it or not. Sorry for the lighting, but it was early in the garage this morning.

If I think of anything else, I'll edit this thread, but it's a pretty easy install. Oh.......damn those torque spec's aren't very much!


Already thought of something.......I haven't cut my hood gasket yet, I just unclipped it at the last clip and kinda folded it into the engine bay for now. Might cut it later and am also looking at that piece were the last clip is on the gasket........trying to see if that's what creates the small gap or not. That end of the damper may touch there first??????

2nd set of pics
Make sure you put the bracket inbetween like in photo #1. I know that it's a no brainer, but............you'd be surprised how many won't read the directions!
I know the gap looks big in the 3rd and 4th photos, but it's really not. I'll go out and measure it soon.

I've had mine installed last week and I do agree with your assessment, Mazurfer. Definitely assemble the dampers the night before to let the thread lock set. I don't know about anyone else, but I had a hell of a time trying to find the right size socket for the hood bolts. 13mm was too loose and 12mm didn't fit!. I ended up using the 13mmm socket but being very careful. Overall I am very satisfied. I didn't cut the hood gasket as per the instruction manual. With the hood closed, it does bulge up 1-2mm towards the windshield but I'm sure that is from me not removing the obstruction of the gasket and the damper body. I'm willing to live with that.

Hmmmmmmmmm..........my 12mm fit fine, and I didn't cut my gasket either(yet), but I did undo the last clip and fold it back into the engine bay....for now. You can see that in a couple of the oics.

Glad to see everyone is happy again :)

Now for the rest of the dampers.....

Blu: I need to buy you for another favor; lets go back to painting my set if you can.
Looking at Mazsurfer's set, the paint looks great and I'm starting to like the Tein green less and less. I apologize for changing my mind again.

Let me know if this will be an issue,
Jedi

No problem...


TO ALL THE ARE STILL INTERESTED I GET YOUR PMS I AM NOT TAKING ANY NEW ORDERS UNTIL I KNOW I CAN SECURE PRODUCT THANKS

when will these be available again?

Hello BluMonstrRX8,

I haven't followed up or anything prior to this but I am wondering when will I get mine?

5. looking4(Paid in full) came in late to the group buy

Regards.

BluMonstrRX8,

I just checked and I have actually paid you via Paypal on June. Given this info, I think I should have received mine already.

Regards.

I've kept pretty quiet here. I just wanted to make my presence known that I'm still waiting :)

Oh, and my username is misspelled on the main thread... Just making sure it's not effecting anything!

I tried to contact the seller to purchase a set about 1.5 weeks ago and still haven't heard back :(

I am waiting too...I am not responding to any new orders just yet....

What status on this bad boy? I'll leaving pretty soon for military duties and I like to square away my things before that time comes. This product is one of them. :)

Please send me payment options please when it is doable.

any kind of update on the 2nd round of dampeners?

I talked with the supplier...apparentyl they miscommunicated my order and cancelled it.....there is supposedly 6 somewhere in the US and they are making way to my supplier....I will let you know more when I know more.

On another note I ordered an additonal 15 dampers and be done with it all unless there is a huge demand that I am missing of

so is this still available or did that means its not anymore?

still a ton of us waiting for our dampers so I would assume Blu isn't taking any new orders. Even if he did, you'd probably be waiting 5 months or so for them.

Check out www.dpeweb.com They've got some in stock.

ok. thanks

What's the status on this group buy? Are the next 15 going to get their product or what? At least keep us in the loop. :rant:

From what I heard last 15 were ordered and would be here shortly they told me they would contact me as soon as they came in.....

hopefully i can get it by the end of the year?? :D: haha

From what I heard last 15 were ordered and would be here shortly they told me they would contact me as soon as they came in.....

is there going to be enough to cover everybody who had been waiting for a while?

thread and gb closed. until i hear from blumoon that more have shipped

blumonstr has some more dampers ready to ship so this is open again for now

list of who is getting dampers would be nice...

yes, i'm dying to know if i'll ever get these things.

still no updates?

Blu: how many dampers did you get? I would think this would be an important question considering it's probably why Zoom reopened the thread.

First day I have had off in a while, I am picking them up Sunday from the guy(tonight)

He has 15 which is more than enough to cover everyone remaining then some.....

I need everyone to pm me their Address I want the updated one just in case you may have moved, I mean it has been a while.

So sorry for the delay.:icon_no2:


Those that are getting painted I have to track down the paint guy, becasue he did an excellent job. I usually see him at meets on Wednesdays so I will get it to him then.

There are 5 leftover dampers the first 5 to pm me will get them.

Thank you

Brice

Pmed , I want one set preffered black Thanks

blu: it's been 10 days since we heard from ya. Update? It's almost 2008

Just use your mind trick on him. It worked yesterday.

If there are any still available, I'd be very interested. Red or black is preferable. Please PM me with a quote to have them shipped to a business in 60061. Thanks :)

Happy New Years!!! It's now 2008 and still no dampers.
I don't know why you guys keep signing up for this, you probably didn't read the thread.

I paid for mine 7 months ago and nothing...

Soon..... Jedi may have to post this in the Bad Guy section.

Lets see if we can make it a year jedi!

Sorry, I'm at work and didn't have time to read the whole thing. That's cool, I'll just buy a set elsewhere.

Ok so when can I have those dumpers????

http://flrx8club.net/forum/index.php

You can usually find him over there as well.
I PM'd him for you guys the other day, but no response as of yet.

hey blu, any updates?

blu: where are ya?

Yes, those of us in the first wave got ours back in October after about a 5 month wait.
Mine were painted black and there are two posts above showing pictures of mine on or about 10/06/07.

I feel sorry for the rest of you guys..........cause I don't know if you'll ever get yours???? I still say see my post of a few ago and see if you can get him on the Florida site. I need to see if he answered my PM I tried to leave on there to see if I could get him to come update you guys.

I just check on the Florida site and I have no PM's......sorry!


http://flrx8club.net/forum/index.php

I think you need to move this to the BAD GUY section.

where are the dampeners???!?!?!?! jesus...

I went to his work and got mine from him. It was a drive, but less hassle.

give us an address. ;)
Razz: I think you might be right. I paid 7 months ago...

So, is this thread a scam or something? Good for you since you got what you paid for.

I'd like to think it was not a scam since some did get what they ordered eventually. I ordered mine back in July too. I got a semi-recent assurance that they were headed for a painter (back in December) but still no sign of them and no response to PM. While I sympathize with him for all the problems he encountered with the order handling, powder coating not working out, painters not working out, orders erroneously getting canceled by his supplier, car problems etc., it would still be nice to get the struts while I still have the car.

this is just ridiculous. i should've just paid the extra $30 and got them from someone else.

any updates?? HELLO!?!?!

Last update was over a month ago. This is beyond ridiculous.

Blu should refund our money back since it's obvious he's having issues filling these orders. Oh wait...never mind, I suggested that MONTHS ago and it fell upon deaf ears.

blu: what happened with the 15 dampers you received last month?

hey guys,

I have an update. Brice was sent to jail for 60 days for child support he couldn't pay (hes been in about 15 days now). I do however have the 14 dampers in my possession. He left me a list of who should receive their dampers and the addresses. There are 9 unpainted ones and 5 painted. The 5 are not painted yet so i don't know how the owners want to handle that. I will start shipping them out on his behalf on Saturday with my own money. Btw that is me logging onto to his account to retrieve addresses.

Wow.

I'm glad I didn't get in on this group buy.
It's not simply "i couldnt afford child support so they're throwing me in jail".. you have to avoid the court and make no effort to set up a payment plan. This wouldn't exactly be the guy I'd want to send money to.
Good luck to anyone who's actually sent this PoS their money.


PS Yeah, anyone who doesn't do everything they can to make sure their own children have money for school, food, clothes, etc. is a PoS in my mind.

Its not even like that. Im not going to throw his business out there but i assure you its not because he is a dead beat. Don't be so quick to judge someone sparky. He is making every effort to get this stuff out. I volunteered to send all this stuff out while he handles other stuff.

listen slick, I'm very sure of what I'm saying. My ex wife started our divorce proceedings by having my wrongfully arrested so she could get a TRO for her and my son. All in an attempt to get sole custody, which she didn't get.

I'm VERY aware of exactly what you have to do to get arrested for back child support. I pay more then the court ordered to ensure my son goes to a good school and has everything he needs when he's with my ex.

This PoS did an engine swap in leiu of his own kids having money. Yeah.. that's a giant turd sandwhich right there.

He never did an engine swap his car has been sitting at mazsport for well over 6 months and its not sitting there bc he got an engine swap. Your facts are not true (no proof) which makes your argument obsolete. He knows he is in the wrong and is making an effort to fix it.

btw who still uses the word turd? Are you between the ages of 10-15? :spank:

blu mentioned he was going to Mazsport for a 20b. Even said "20b monster" or something like that in his avatar profile.

so did he just go with a turbo instead???

I think this guy "Eatsomerice" is also trying to sell these in the FS section. Now that I realized who it really is and how he handles someone elses stuff--and the fact that it is against forum rules if i remember correctly--no way in hell im buying these from him!
