If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Thats a ridiculous price,
there was a guy on ebay was making them from Aluminum from scratch I saw some good pic's of the one I wanted to buy nice product, Good workmanship. I don't know what happend too him haven't seen any posted for awhile.

I did a search and sure enough he is no longer a member of ebay he went by 7864john looks like he got 3 neg's and he quit! Cant make every one happy, He stated in his add that they were custome made and would be built after you paid and it took awhile.
Too bad I wanted too buy two of them from him one for my Road runner clone and one for my Charger.

Yeah, you can`t make everybody happy when you steal their money and don`t deliver the goods.  Nothing but a thief and a loser in my book. His negative from me was very well deserved. :Twocents:

I'm taking it he did not deliver your product as planned? From the pictures I remembered they looked pretty good.
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

I never got anything from him.  I was patient to the extent that I screwed myself. Instead of opening a Paypal complaint/dispute within the 30/45 day time limit, I gave him the (he`s a mopar guy)  benefit of the doubt. (never again)  At the time of my purchase, his feedback indicated that he was a slow shipper but did deliver. Other members(s) here had bought them and endured his slow shipping, so I was prepared for that.  I should mention that his ads did NOT indicate to  potential buyers that they should anticipate a long wait. A few days after I paid, he sent me a message stating that he would be shipping my louvers the following week. A month or so later, I asked him about my order and was told that he would be buying the materials in a few days and shipping the following week. All further attempts to communicate were futile. In my opinion, the guy is/was a thief, and a moronic businessman. Why advertise items that are not yet made? Thats plain dumb. Would making them first, then selling them be all that hard? As far as the quality... the opinion expressed by other buyers were that they were
decent for the price, needed some grinding/massaging for proper fit.  As far as them looking good in pics... I could make a set out of cardboard
and elmers glue that looked good in pics.  :smilielol:
