Re: Ground Control kits are ready!!!
I don't want to hijack this thread but I want to throw in my 2¢ and defend the members who spearheaded the suspension upgrades being developed by Ground Control.
First, I have some recent experience in handling a group buy with the custom made Crossfire stainless steel wire mesh grilles produced by Zunsport in the UK. Understand that it is VERY rare for a company to consider taking on the manufacture of custom parts intended for a limited production, short model year run vehicle like the Crossfire. Zunsport had asked me why there are not more sales coming from the USA for their custom made grilles. This is what I told them . . .
This root issue is that the Crossfire was a limited production vehicle that was only produced from 2004 to 2008. That means the fleet currently consists of 6 - 10 year old vehicles. As the fleet ages, the number of enthusiastic owners dwindles rapidly. Most people buying a used Crossfire simply don't have the passion for the car that would translate into spending monies on dress up accessories and modifications.
IMHO we should kiss the *** of any company (like Ground Control) who is willing to take on the task of developing products for the Crossfire. Also, the members who spearheaded this suspension upgrade project should NOT be ridiculed for their efforts and for the enthusiasm they have shown for this project. They are NOT personally responsible for the unexpected delays in bringing this project to market.
For those who have been openly critical toward Hustler316, TommyT, and others who contributed their time and positive efforts to bring this project to market . . . I suggest you simply move on to another thread. There is plenty of good reading material on this forum.
Personally, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Hustler316 and TommyT for your efforts. I know it is not an easy task and I also know that you simply cannot please everyone no matter what you do . . . especially on an internet forum where it's just too easy to sit back, be critical, second guess everything that's going on and spray poison darts at everyone and everything . . .
Just saying . . .
