Thank you for a mature post. My flame wasn't towards you guys, was to the tool bag that just wanted to get his post count up!

So cheaper then 379$, sounds promising... I'll wait if its REALLY going to be 2 weeks.

How about we follow mine, since anyone can make rules.

1- Don't be a wise ass.
2- MF releases all pretty pictures, but can never make deadlines.
3- How about release something when its good and ready then making us drool and then coming back in 2 weeks and giving some bad excuse. Just like the skirt thread.

Hows that for you?
Peace, peace, calm yourself. To become a gold vendor on e90post is a lot more than what you think it is. It is definitely not a "small wage."

We always post up teaser pictures for the e90post community.
Our deadlines always change due to small changes in the design or material of the product. As always we never give an exact date when the product will be released because there can always be changes. Shipments might be delayed due to customs and other uncontrollable factors. However we do try our best to ensure that the product is released ASAP.

The skirt thread was no bad excuse at all. We changed our material from FRP to PUR. PUR is a lot better and the paint will not chip off if it is hit unlike FRP.
If you notice the pictures we posted for the skirts were only a prototype, you can tell by the rough finish and unpainted skirt.

We don't want people arguing here so if anything please take it to private messages or somewhere other than our threads. Thank you.

No one is arguing here. I am pretty calm. Trust me. In all seriousness teasers are cool, but not cool when deadlines aren't made. Time after time. Thats like saying, I'll have a bitch keep teasing me and she won't put out, I think you would get bored..... and move on? I'm pretty sure you would. Great that you changed materials, but things like this should be made from the get-go and thought out well before, because it only lags things to finish quicker. And please, the "small wage" isn't much, just pocket change for what you really turn out in sales. I know. I have the number sitting here on my desktop. Anyways, take care.

I understand your frustration. Quicker we finish the product, higher the chances of a defective product or errors that might occur in production.

Understand that all our products are made in Taiwan, not China. We do not cheap out on any of our materials, paint or labor. We buy OEM BMW paint and OEM BMW Clearcoat and have them painted at a Mercedes-Benz or BMW dealership. We only use the best material and primer for our products.

Again I completely understand. Time is needed when fully fabricating from scratch. I'm just saying there is really no need for teasers unless you are 2 weeks out from when things are in stock. No one likes teasers that lead to months and months of bullshit. I'm sure the final products will be great and the demand is high, but people actually put out and wait and then deadlines keep getting pushed back, it's not all fair. At least, wait until your production line starts pumping these out then teasing weeks and weeks before because it get annoying to keep checking for updates...... and then one day you see.........pushed back and back and back.. until customers start grabbing OEM stuff. Once the stuff starts hitting the production line, tease us to death, because then we know it will start shipping within 2 weeks max.... and we won't care as much!

This has happened with the skirts so far.... and the intake..... and I'm not sure what else, since I don't follow you guys too much. But this product sure looks like sex........ so! I hope it isn't another long wait since I love carbon

And for the paint issue, glad you use OEM stuff, but most of the hardcore fanatics would rather recieve just a prime verision so we can have our own bodyshop color match it perfect. Every car is different... based on age and how long it has been out/direct sun.. and what not. A lot of things factor into this, so thats why it's important (at least to me) that my shop color matches my body paint to my new part. On small parts whatever, but if its something big like skirts, those will show drastically if not matched perfect. Sorry, I'm picky.........

But thanks for bringing such great products to our hands that others wouldn't dare to touch. All but love.

Thanks for your comment and in fact, you got it right. The sideskirt is in production. The reasons for dealy are: 1. Pat changed the material from FPR to PUR so we need to re-open the PU mold. 2. The are 3 insert stuff on sideskirt. It is almost impossible to make it like OEM if the material is PUR. We all suggest just use glue or 3M tape like AC does. But Pat wants to make it perfect..... so.. we spent a lot time to figure out a way to make the insert stuff.
Pat want each our own products perfectly and also choose only products that pass our inspection and test to sell. That's why we don't carry many stuff. Sometimes I doubt if we will make money....

This is for you. Advanced version, just took pics today. Will dyno it next week
