As I made very clear when doug went on his little theater a few months ago: I don't care what any of you people who are not owed product think. As smorgasbord said in his first post: I CLEARLY said it wouldn't happen over night, but it would happen. Adding insult to injury, smorgasbord...

Guys, I'm pretty much at the end of my patience here. Let me make something CRYSTAL clear here: I have more personally invested in John Perez and in getting this both right and functioning properly than any of you who are owed parts. Once again, Doug has decided to cross over to the Lotus...

Hi Bonnie. :) Are you talking about the air vents? If so, I have a set we can drop in the mail asap. I just emailed John Benjamin my address, so once you receive the replacements (assuming we're talking about the air vents), simply drop your defectives back in the mail. I'd like to see just...

Thanks, but I thought the Yellow ones were nicer. :)

Hi Sparrow, I apologize for the delay, as I really thought we'd be able to knock this out more quickly, but the door sills are really kicking our butts. I'm not sure if it's the humidity or what, but we went back and had to make a new mold for the door sills AGAIN. Look how wavy they were when...

Thanks for the update, John. I can't tell you how pleased we are that you're pleased. :) I don't know why I thought there were more exterior air vents back-logged. I've got a set ready to go, plus another set in the mold. *duh* (the spares are not for sale.) In other news; we exepct have our...

I'm still monitoring the site and working on the back log. I expect to have some more product out the door next week. I had a social function that took me out of town for a few days, which slowed things down a bit, but I'm back and we're still going strong. We still aren't looking to take...

@ ipdamages: Thank you for such a poignant and succinct analysis of the situation. You're spot on. As for taking money up front for purchases: when I initially made the offer to JP regarding my willingness to relocate and breathe new life into a Carbon Fiber manufacturing business, the...

First and foremost, let me say thanks to Doug, Benji, and Felix for their above statements. I appreciate it and it makes me feel less personally attacked. As for the other fire-starters: Shame on me for not choosing my words more carefully. For not being more obvious in my language, I...

I'm a little put off by what are starting to feel like attacks on my person by those who have done zero business with John Perez. Also, since everyone is pretending that I never offered to take care of the entirety of his back log, please go REREAD my very first post in this thread Maybe...

I posted a complete reply and then it disappeared. (unless I can't see it for some reason.)

Let me try this again: Prior to my raising my hand and offering to make good on a situation in which I have zero responsibility, there was little to no hope of anyone getting anything from John. People can try to sue him, but there's no blood from a turnip, so to speak. So, while I do okay...

Dude, why do my threads keep disappearing after I post them? Getting a little annoyed here...

Obviously, I/we aren't trying to hide anything from anyone. I've made all my personal information public and left a trail of bread crumbs directly to my door. To clarify my involvement and position on the matter: We're not soliciting nor accepting offers of new business from either the Lotus...

Well guys, I'm sorry this isn't happening as quickly as I'd expected, but I've found the manufacturing process is significantly longer than I'd imagined. That having been said... check out what I have... :D Since it only seems fair to ship the parts first to those who have waited longest...

No worries Felix. I totally understand where everyone is coming from. If I'm slow to update, I'm always reachable by text or email. :)

Thanks for then suggestion. We won't be taking payment until the time a product is actually going to ship. Also, and to make sure I'm super, extra clear about my involvement with Carbon One: I am not Carbon One. I am currently involved in a partnership with the owner of that former company...

Hey guys, I apologize for neglecting this post. I've been busy trying to finish some parts and it looks like we'll have the new molds for the door sills laid up tomorrow. :) Senna's Dad: when you have minute, can you give me a call? My cell is 310-902-1050. I often find a five minute call can...

@Strider: I'm with you on this one. The more carbon I see, the more I want. That having been said; without satisfying existing orders, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable offering to sell more product, though. It'd seem disingenuous at best and sleazy at worst. Once everyone gets what...

:) Here are a few more of the progress from yesterday. We're going to start the trimming, sanding, and clear coating next.

Hey there cats and dogs, just a quick update, as promised. I was hoping we'd get to work on the door sills, since they represent the single greatest number of parts owed, but we found out the molds cracked during the move. So, until we can make new molds (Hopefully later this week), we got to...

Ssshhh!!! You'll jinx it! :D As we get set up, John has been showing me some small things here and there. The one thing I realize now, more than anything, is just how long it can take to make even a small part. It's so many steps, often repeated again and again, that make it incredibly...

Hey folks, Just a brief update to bring you all up to speed. John arrived last friday and we're working on setting up shop here in south Florida. Our plan is to start by dedicating the early part of the week towards working through the backlog. While I'm not yet ready to promise...

Thanks Doug. FYI: John arrived around 5:30 PM yesterday. (Did you guys know he's like 6'6"? Dude, he's tall.) Looks like this might actually get somewhere. :)

Quick update: John is packed up and en route to Florida. I'll report back upon his arrival. Woo hoo!!!

New Jersey and its surprise n'or Easter has been an interesting wweekend experience for the kids. We're heading home Tuesday and so far, John's relocation appears to be on schedule. I'll update when we get home to keep everyone up to date as to our progress. :-)

Hey everyone, no update to be had other than we're getting closer to move day. I'll keep you posted as it develops. I'm heading to New Jersey for the weekend with the kids, so hit me on my cell or via email for fastest response. (Looking at the forums though my phone is kind of a slow PITA.) :)

Careful packaging is an absolute must for this kind of stuff. Usually a lot of bubble wrap and a little tape goes a long way.

Shhh... you'll ruin my reputation. ;) If you won't put them on your car, you never got them as far as I'm concerned.

FYI: there was more to the above post, but I got a message when I tried to post it saying a moderator needs to approve it. I'm wondering if I didn't post it as a new thread and not an update like I'd intended. :cursing:

Benji4: (PAID IN FULL – Nov. 2010) • Tail Light Bezels • Center Console/Tunnel • Exterior air vents DELIVERED 12/2011 • Interior side air vents • Nav Bezel • Gauge bezel • Hood (needs to be redone completely) ****REQUIRING REPAIR**** Wing: needs sanding and...

Thanks doug. I'm a little frustrated by the insistence of one or two of their uninvolved members over there trying to attack me. I get that people are upset by the whole thing, by why go so far out of your way to be hateful, especially when they have no horse in the race? Anyway... HUGE...

Thanks guys. I've been working closely with John Benjamin on the Tesla troubles, so I'm confident that I've got a handle on it now, so thanks. I realize this is a crappy situation for you guys, and I honestly can't make any concrete promises just yet. I'll know up or down for sure in 7ish...

***THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OF ADDITIONAL BUSINESS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS OWED AND TO WHOM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO ATTEMPT TO PLACE A NEW ORDER FOR PRODUCT UNTIL I CAN BOTH SATISFY PRIOR COMMITMENTS AND PAY PROPER ADVERTISING FEES*** Hi everyone...
