I'm honestly pretty close to pulling out of this, because you've stretched this out for SIX MONTHS. Remind me what your Ebay seller ID is, so I never have to rely on you to ship anything to me

OK Tom Ok back away from the clutch sir. Ill have something concrete and in motion by first week of March then it will be out of my hands :-)

Vince feel free to Chime in!

.....I.....err,uh......what was the question again ?!

These doors have not even shipped yet??? I have been eyeing this thread since August and considering ordering a set of doors but by the time this project gets completed I will have an E89 sitting in my garage.

Z4-VILLA · 02-18-2013, 07:13 PM

ahhh well it is what it is, Some things will take longer than others, even if they were sent yesterday they would still be waiting in line as the builder has others works in progress....so its the same difference

All manufactures ship worldwide and are cheaper than the prices quoted here. I never understood why it was up to members to foot the bill for a set of sacrificial doors. Surely the manufacturer should be paying for this unless the rights to the molds are held by the original members who kicked in. And a commission paid for every set produced.

Youre new and I wont insult you, Carbon Fiber is a delicate thing to process but when done CORRECTLY it can yield enormous potential. Seibon cant even do it like the way our in house fabricator can for the price point and all whilst maintaining crash safety and crush point integrity. 1:1 copy 1:1 original factory functionality just a WHOLE lot lighter.

These doors will be shipped, molds WILL be made and lessons will be handed out to all the skeptics.
thank you

Sig says department of defense. You know how long government jobs take? It's all making sense.

If it took me that long to ship something, I'd be out of business.

I have no stake here, but have watched the progress, or lack thereof....

lsz4 · 02-21-2013, 03:23 AM

Sorry mate no offence meant, but I ordered a full set of CF everything GTR front bar, guards, skirts, rear guards, rear bar, wing ,doors and rear hood for 7600 euro shipped. prices are not as listed they are all between 20-25% off ATM still might seem pricey but at least they exist, whether they ever arrive is another story
