Default Re: AMG SLK STYLE Side Skirts for the crossfire

My apologies Brian, for going into "accusation mode" but you have not explained yourself at all for why you are the only one backing this guy? When quite literally, I could post about 3 pages of email showing we had no clue he was Dan. Really you are a well regarded forum member and very smart. I guess it just hurts to know you of all people with such a background helped come up with this L bracket design as well as riddling this sideskirt with sheet metal screws. I can not imagine opening my door and having to step over a sheet metal screw to get in. I mean really ?

Not to take this any further, I just want to know if you did in fact pay full price, full group buy pricing at least, to the sum of $350 like every last one of us?

I get you are trying to see the good in people but the amount of bad this man has caused why you, why someone I myself have looked up to numerous times on this forum?

I don't know, Really I am at a loss for words after this entire process. I have lost countless hours of sleep over this not to mention trying to come up with as many things I can possible think of, of how to make this right. I would like to tell everyone we have 11k just laying around for such an occasion, but that would be a lie. To be quite honest If I did I almost certainly would take the hit and right it off as lesson learned. We are in a bind of a lifetime to say the least. Our name has been tarnished, and Dan continues to sit high and mighty turning a profit though whatever means possible. I fear that if this does go to court at the extremes he may only get jail time and have to pay back some of the damages. This case would most certainly take place in CA and probably range 4k in lawyer fees. I don't even know if this is an option right now. As much as it hurts I think I would, much rather use the money and help refund members who want them and hope that somewhere down the line Something Catches up with Dan..... Although then again maybe this is the time.. I honestly can say from the bottom of my heart I am sorry guys and we have let you down big time.

I will be back in town soon, I have cleared the next week of my schedule to devote my time entirely to these sideskirts. If I honestly have to test fit, trim, and create and alternative bracket for every last one of these we will. If I feel like this can not be done safely or rightly you guys will hear it straight from us first. Like TVT said we could have just sit back, sent these out and administered sorry letters, but that is not how the real world works.

We still have your shipping money, and 30 sets of sideskirts. Those who want them shipped after my assessment tomorrow will have them shipped. Those who feel like my solution if I am even able to come up with one, is not fit we will go from there when the time comes.

Sorry for the ramble, this post was more or less a thinking out loud trying to blow off some steam. My favorite solution this far has been start a lawyer fee group buy, Those of you who have pmed with support thank you. Those of you who have pmed me asking for a refund, like you have heard so many times before please hold tight. Those of you who have pmed me to ship ASAP, once again please wait until we are able to come up with some fitment solution and I will send ASAP.


EDIT>>>>>>> BRIAN, since you have installed these you know first hand how much work will have to be put into for paint. My question to you is do you agree these have to be painted on the car no matter how much flex additive is added to the paint? Or do you foresee being able to paint these and then install them?
