You could probably make a kijiji posting - that's the most popular online classifieds around here.

ditto.

If you sell (I read you post in the MB thread btw), are you going to continue to be a Trifecta dealer?

Actually before making that post, I looked this one up to confirm whom I thought you were...

or did you not want anyone to notice this?

See the new Camaros come with gfx now. They changed the body and they can't be taken off. We had a customer wanted the hennessey ones put on.
i liked your last house, why move??

yes, the factory installed....well, if properly installed, the fronts cannot be removed anyhow, no matter who puts them on, being rivetted thru the cover 8 times. and thats just on the sides and front, not to mention that many or more underneath. the sides should be no biggie. the rears should be reversible as well. can you tell me what changes were made body wise?

centerline is still ******* me for my rims i paid for last august, so the nitto NT05R's i got are useless......i think your car should own mine in the quarter, but i think i got you in the 1/8th. i hope your planning a trip up this year, you shall be my guest. i upgraded to a cog drive pulley for the blower, and have an acs hood, and heritage grille to paint and install. also did poly bushings and trailing arms. i just need to remove the rear cradle to put in the last of the bushing inserts.
also have a special made harness to put 2011 HUD in my car, bench tested it today, works slick. gawd i love canbus!!!
now to remove the dash/console/steering wheel. its gonna suck, but it will be cool.
good thing the wife bought me the full 3 part service manual from the general.

guy's, I'm posting this here only as a recourse incase the thread is deleted from the ottp subforum.

Sorry for lousing up your subforum with another "hey where's my stuff" thread, but I last heard from you over a month ago.

I tried looking for the rotated mount group buy thread for some info, but it appears as though you deleted it, so that doesn't help me any either...

I emailed last week, then after not getting a reply, I called on last friday and left a voicemail.

I still have not heard from anyone.

Order ID #3877

I used the tracking number you provided me with on December the 2nd, but when I go to the USPS site, it looks as though the shipment was registered, but never received... the shipment is not even classified as 'in transit'.

Status according to USPS:
Electronic Shipping Info Received
Additional info provided by USPS:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on December 03, 2010 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. No further information is available for this item.
This isn't my first cross border purchase/shipment, and I am the last person to go all crazy and over react, but something seems amiss here.

Please also note you admitted to making a mistake which resulted in nearly a month delay from order placement to shipping info sent - if someone goofed up again, and nothing was actually shipped, the world isn't going to end, I'd just like to know...

Can I please get some sort of posted reply here - even if it's just to say you're emailing me.

Thank you.
Has anyone here had any issues getting stuff from OTTP??

I was really looking forward to getting these mounts, but it's been two months now... and I'm starting to loose faith.

I've never had a problem with OTTP, my package was at my door everytime before USPS/UPS changed from "Billing info received". Their tracking system sucks. Did you try directly PMing Josh@OTTP?

I have no doubt that they will come through.

My brother has made two purchases from them for his C-SRT4 ~ both were absolutely painless, and if he wanted he could call, and always got some one on the line.

(as mentioned above) I did try emailing driectly, then calling (I didn't spell out that I tried calling twice last friday though... I hate it when people pull out the jerk card and act like they are ALL that matters... So I try to avoid ever coming off that way.

Actually I was pleasantly surprised just now when I checked my email, had two(?) messages about shipping from them, and then had a PM here from Josh spelling it all out.

Here's most of what he said;

I have a new set leaving for you today, they were gunna leave yesterday but things got a little busy.

Basically our scale was off by a few ounces and usps told us we needed to fix the packages. Well they can't find the packages and are now treating them as "spoiled goods" so we are out the shipping and the package. This happened to 3 packages last month, I have already fixed the other 2 domestic ones. Anyways you will get your mounts by weeks end with a new tracking number. ...

Thanks
Josh
That's a great reply, and is the kind of reply I'd expect from a vendor with his reputation here - it's just too bad that this is the 2nd hiccup with this order (the first issue was the order was misplaced, and shipping was delayed a month), and if the problem was realized, it would have been nice if they would have just told me or something...

Overall (assuming I get these ) I'd still call it a positive experience...

I got tracking info from modern performance for my springs today. It's from USPS... says there was a problem with customs and another one delaying it. No matter, I got the notice to pick them up from the post office tomorrow morning. Gonna be a fun day once it's finally warm outside, I'll be putting on new 18's, new tires, Sportlines, front and rear lip, and I plan on adding an intake to that list before winter is over.

afaik, that "warm" was supposed to be a one day deal... I heard it this morning, your area was looking like it would see -6, but we were looking for a high of something a good ten degrees colder...

I'm thinking... May. The weekend before May long is when I aim to switch tires. Maybe earlier now cause I'm more confident in my Kumho Ecstas than the horrendous Pirellis GM chose to put on the 2.4's.

I just counted out the months till May and it made my stomach turn. Working outside ftl. You guys doing anything for May Long?

Glad Josh got ahold of you soundjunky. Did you get stage 1 or 2 mounts? (Sorry if you wrote it and I missed it).
