Carlos, your e-mail inbox must have these messages in it by now. I think I was the first to pay for this:

I know you have had family matters to deal with, and we are sorry to hear that. But your fellow forum members are really left hanging. Is there anyone else in Coral Gables that could come by and help you package these up? Let us know if you need any help - thanks.

 

You know Carlos posted on the carbon fiber hood thread located here https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/closed-rx8-vented-cf-hood-44720/page3/ on the 5th of April but wasn't able to give us an update since 3.31.05, what's up with that? Obviously he has received the emails, p/m's and he has had to seen all of our posts. I have no choice other than to request my money back if I don't have tracking by the end of the week, hate to do it cause I'd love to have this piece, but this doesn't look promising at all anymore.

Carlos please put yourself in our shoes, you wouldn't like it either.

Brian

 

He also logged on and off today for a brief time...

Hello Carlos - we see you :D

 

I have a message from Carlos:

 

Where did he post that?

And why couldn't he post it in this thread, the official group buy thread?

Not questioning the authenticity of the post, just wondering why he couldn't leave an update here after all that time.

thanks though

 

Excellent, thanks for the update Nemesis. Good job getting some info for us!

 

I sent him a PM that he answered - I know his last name

Let's sit this one out and see what he has to say - hope everything is still good to go.

 

Here is a picture of the twelve pre-packaged and the boxes for shipping...

Once the ones on order go out that's it; this is a major PITA...

 

I can only imagine

 

I saw the pod cover installed on his car and let me tell you it looks AWESOME. It covers the stock dash pod perfectly. There are no gaps or overlaps where the pod cover meets both the dash or where it comes up to the front edge of the dash pod. I know that everyone will be very happy once they see it in person. I can't wait to get mine. Lucky for me, I get to pick it up

 

Holly sh*t these looks awesome indeed...I can't wait longer Carlos..Please send them asap so i ll have them until friday in Sanda Barbara...Please...

 

Not to highjack your thread Carlos but I'm waiting on an answer for more carbon pieces from a company I contacted. I'm gonna see if we can get the door handle bezels done and maybe some other interior pieces that'll match the pod cover.

I was going to ask you if they could be made Carlos, but I can see that this has been a major burden for you.

Little fustrated with the updates but what can you expect when the person conducting this has a family and other obligations to attend to.

Thanks again can't wait to install this thing.

 

Well when will these pieces send out at last???

 

I have a car show on the 23rd, love to have it by then Carlos. Thanks.

 

Not to rub salt in the wound but I saw this on Carlos's car and it looks mighty nice. Gotta do teh whole dash in CF though....

:D

 

When will we get it.....???I must rest from tuning from a while and i can't stop adding parts in my car...PLease send it to stop for a while....!!!

 

I'm trying to find a company that will do the whole dash, but only the pieces that are pvc plastic like the pod, not the vinyl pieces on the car.

I'll keep you all updated when I get an answer from this company.

 

Ms CF Inner Handle Bezel, Ms CF Door Switch Panel,Carbontrix A-Pillars,Ms CF Interior Mirror Cover and now the pod...What else now???
Hey Devious which else parts are u going to make??

 

Well nothing is a definate but I'm waiting for a company to get back to me on it.

The parts would include the inner door handle bezels unless you know where to get them now cause I'll jump on that group buy in a second.

The other parts are all of the pvc black plastic located above the radio and around the navi screen, the pvc plastic around the nav controls and shift ****, and the pieces that are at the bottom portion of the inside driver and passanger doors, and maybe the rest of the middle console that continues into the back of the car.


Like I said though it's alot and I'll be trying my best to get something rolling, if this company doesn't work out then I will contact my sponsership and see if they can point me in the right direction, I'm willing to donate all of my parts, assuming I get them back, to whomever can complete the task.

 

Something like that you mean???

 

Damn Where Did You Get That From?

Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me!

 

Well custom job...I don't know anything more...Mine interior is black/red and i have some parts cf but all the tube i don't know how it would look like..and i already have painted the lighter cover black and i have a chromed rx-8 badge on it and looks tight...If i go for cf tube i must rip the custom dvd screen box in the top of dash and the rx-8 badge un the lighter cover...

But this 8 i must say looks unique at least!!

 

nice custom job
whoever that is

 

Ok I know it's only been a couple of days, but we were so close in almost knowing when the pods were shipping.

Carlos do you have an update please?

 

Any news??There are 2 months...I can;t wait any more for this thing..I have made 4 orders from the time i purchase this part and i was hoping to include it in the boxes but all went out and my friend on Us hasn't recieved it till now...
