affordable topcatwhiskers source

[Nacho-RT74]

what you read.

I'm interested on get the 4 outer window felts because the POS I got from YR1 loooooooong time ago,beside they are not even close to the originals, are already getting damaged, specially quarters. I have seen the topcatwhiskers brand is the best one which makes the outers with the stainless steel trim visible... ( I hope quarters too for 73/74 )

however, $165 ( restorationspecialties, Dantes ) is kinda expensive if you ask me for just 4 pieces

do you know who could get them affordable ?

thanks, but... $165 too

I got mine from Dantes. $165 plus shipping was $181. I couldnt find any cheaper. The set they sent me was wrong btw. The rear quarter pieces for the inside did not fit. Called them and they sent out the correct ones for the 72. Great customer service.

[Nacho-RT74]

Dantes quoted me $183 shipped to FL, and told me was on national back order by 3-4 weeks.

restoration specialties quoted me $165 plus $10-12 shipping ( so "cheaper" ) and apparently they have them in stock.

[Nacho-RT74]

ok... I hates when this happens!!!

RESTORATION SPECIALTIES HASN'T CHARGED ANYTHING YET TO THE VISA DEBIT CARD! AND STILL NOT AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDER STATUS MORE THAN "ORDEN PLACED" ONE WEEK AGO.

I hate when there is not full feedback.

I placed my order in Dec. 2011 for 73/74, cancelled in Jan, when I found out Catwhiskers rubber supplier went out of business and I hear they still have not found anyone to produce the rubber. So, I would not bet on 3-4 weeks, maybe 3-4 months, if they find a supplier soon.

[Nacho-RT74]

did you placed the order at restorations specialties ?

[randy73]

No, mine was placed at Dante's and after I canceled that order, I called several places and was told 3-4 weeks and that was January. I do not remember who told me about the rubber supplier, but I do know they told me around the last week of January and it is almost March, so that should tell you something.

I ordered mine from Restorations Specialties and got it in 10 days.

For some reason, the words "Affordable" and "Charger" just don't seem to go together in the same sentence.

I'm thinking if they are good quality, last for several years and fit like they are suppose to I have no problem paying $165 for them, but I want them right, i.e. no modification needed!

good news:

FINALLY GOT AN ANSWER:

Hello,

Unfortunately at the time you placed your order, material for your kit was on backorder from the manufacturer. I have just come across this email, and can not express how sorry I am. What we have done is unacceptable from a customer service stand point, and will be taken care of. Your order will be shipping today. Your tracking number is #1Z2413990346942756. This is shipping via UPS. Again, our apologies for the lack of communication, and for holding up your overseas shipment. We strive to put the customer first, and have failed you. We will make every effort in the future to have communications open, and hope to do business with you again in the future.

Thank You

Subject: sooo... still none answer about the 34278 order


what you read...

I have requested lot of info about this.

never got an answer about if you have the window felts I want, in stock to know on that moment if proceed or not. I have lot of stuff waiting FOR YOU to be shipped overseas and I'm compromising all my shippment for that reason.

Still dunno if you are processing the order or not.

the only answer I have got is:

Your order has been placed.


an email sent on Feb 15 just to say that, after I had asked on the previous email more than that and where I included the payment info. Allmost two weeks later I have nothing, not even a reply

IS IT POSBLE TO GET AN UPDATE? PLEASE ?

You got that right.  But most of us find out the hard way!

You order a 71-74, those are the ones in short supply??

[randy73]

Nacho, are they sending CatWhiskers?
I called today and was told they are on backorder.
