This is not directed toward any members in particular but I have to say I am becoming evermore disappointed in how some members are reacting. We all know everyone is $$$ into these right now. Personally, I'm $$$$'s into these and would gladly trade places with anyone on the group buy. We are all doing what we can to figure this out but everything takes time. I know everyone waited 5 months for these and I can't do anything to fix the fact that these skirts are pieces of ****. Jonny and I have spent countless hours trying to make these work, going at it from every angle, having brackets fabricated, have other brackets fabricated because the first brackets just didn't feel solid enough but we're not even remotely happy to how they "fit". This is all money we are paying out of pocket so you wouldn't have to. We could have just been asholes and sent them out and said, sorry, you deal with but we didn't. We are all in the same boat when it comes to these skirts. I know right now the economy sucks and every penny is important but if everything with the sideskirts was right, you'd have them and not a refund anyways so saying money is tight because you don't have your sideskirts has no real bearing on this situation. And on top of that, this was a group buy, not people buying sideskirts from Rudy and Jonny and then we just disappeared and didn't deliver the product. Everyone knows what is going on. The sideskirts are ****. People know there are risks involved with doing group buys like this and we are doing everything we can to make it so your risks are very low and that you at least get your money back. I'm not trying to throw anything in anyone's face but what would you honestly rather have happen, Jonny and I all but kill ourselves trying to put together everyone's refunds and still not come up with the whole amount or wait it out and let the parties responsible for this pay up for it in full. I know if it's refunds right now and not waiting till all the dust settles, it's us emptying every bank account we have, every group buy member getting an equal dollar amount, Jonny and I will be broke, you the group buy members will be lucky if you received even half your refund and will be on your own and Dan will be smiling all the while he sells these sh!tty sideskirts, that all us group buy members paid to have put together, to unsuspecting people that are new to the Crossfire.

Thank you
