Has Anyone Ever Had Problems With Howard (Stainless Steel Strakes Guy)

I ordered some stainless steel strakes and crest from Howards website on Aug 13. And when i had first emailed him asking him how long it usually takes to ship out to Texas, he replied w/ 7-10 days. Well its been over 10 days and he hasnt replied to my last email about any update on my shipment. So I was just wondering if anyone has ever had problems w/ Howard. Kinda worried I paid around 200 bucks for both the crest and strakes on my credit card and this dude lives in another country

Well worth the wait; beautiful strakes

I purchased a set from him. Yes it can take a little longer to receive them but it is well worth it.

When you get the package you will be surprised at how heavy they are though.

My first thought when I unwrapped them was they reminded me of bars of Gold.

I have had them on for about five months with no issues.

Take your time puting them on. Not sure if he has started marking LL (left lower); LU (left upper); RL (right lower); or RU (right upper) yet. It took me at least a half hour to make sure I was installing the correct ones on each side.

Very nice though, if I purchased another RX-8 I would buy from him again.

Hang in there. He never responded to 2 emails I sent to him but I got them in about 10 days. They are worth the wait.

I got mine about 2 months ago and they were individually labeled. :D


Be patient my young Padawan Learners, the Force is strong in Howard.

They'll be worth the wait.

Same

He took about 20 days to get mine to me. I sent numerous emails to which he replied to one. Eventually, they did arrive. Just have patience.

FYI: I ordered yesterday and sent and email regarding my order yesterday (since it now states sold out on the website, I wasn't sure if they were sold out when I ordered or not). Anyway, had a reply this morning stating that I got the next to last set before he temporarily sold out and that they were in the mail now.

So far so good!

Thanks a lot for the link to the website. But, I don't see the rear rotary accent. He only sells the front I take it?
