 :ttiwwp:

After thinking about this further 1 LIL NDN, I thought that taking a picture on a white flat surface would show the colour better than the caps spread out all over the engine bay.



The lights have brightened them up, they are a darker richer colour than that

Those look good!  Kinda excited about them now!

I ordered mine the first night also, but no word yet.  Red must be popular also.  Took a gamble on getting part of the order in time for Asheville, but no biggie.

Patience Grasshopper.

This is one of those very rare situations where you on the American side are experiencing what we on the Canadian side deal with all the time.
It's always product coming north across the border and us waiting for arrival, getting pissed at customs and trying to track cross border parcels.

Just an FYI all, keep in mind that MRZ's practice is to generate the shipping documents on the day they receive the order, not the day of shipping (like most companies). They feel this is quicker for them to get the product out the door as soon as it's manufactured.
Another thing I've learned from experience with inbound stuff, the USPS tracking number is also able to be entered in the Canada Post tracking site. This gives me more accurate information once it's in Canada. It would stand to reason (maybe) that you would be able to enter the Canada Post tracking number in the USPS tracking site AFTER it has been shipped across the border.
Hopefully that helps!

I was surprised the truck caps  arrived so quick.   When I ordered the engine caps last year  it took a little over 3 weeks to get them.

My apologies, not knowing who was going and who was not....I had previously talked about NASSM with Vic regarding another matter.  :idk:

However I have offered to accept delivery for distribution at NASSM, cans of spray to remove interior panel scratches that was in a thread on the other forum. So I'm not entirely an idjit,  :(
Can't make everyone happy on these boards as I have discovered...just trying to help.

I don't know for a fact, but I would bet the Old Pontiac Logo will slow your order down.

That's about a 500 mile trip, are you crazy!  :nuts:
Just kidding, it would of been nice meeting you and others there...  :thumbs:

Right now I have two sets of engine covers, one set polished and another in Red with Carbon fiber inserts that came from Antonio's (SKY888) car. Also have two sets of trunk covers one set Polished and another in Black...
I ordered two more sets of trunk covers this time with custom graphics on them, again one set polished and the other black... I don't need them in a hurry so this time I will give some slack to MRZ on shipping time, but I don't want to wait as long as my last order....  ;)
I like the way DDM Works operate, they charge to your account only when they ship your item. Maybe these others should do the same and not collect interest on your money while your item is still with them....  :poke:

Thought there was a law that says business's can't charge you for an item until it's delivered (not that some of them don't but don't think they're legally suppose to in the US anyway).

I just got off the phone with them. I was told that all of the Group Buy orders are done and out for anodizing and will be shipped out next week. He said the 'polished only' orders should have been sent already. That is all for now...Critter
I always wanted to be somebody when I grew up - I realize now that I should have been more specific!!

Anytime I've ordered something custom I've paid up front, or at least a hefty deposit.

I'm sure vendors have been screwed more times than we have.

TS - My order at that time was for $350+ and the item stayed with them for 5 months....
If I take that $350.00 and send it for a monthly CC payment to one of my lender we would not be talking 1/220 of a cent, correct?   :poke:

GXP billet trunk close out covers F/S
« Reply #297 on: June 14, 2012, 04:08:36 PM »
Got my billet fluid caps on today.....they look great. Saw Sun Chaser's in blue....they look awesome. I also got the blank anodized trunk close out plugs. They look way better on my "Mean" Sol than the billet ones as I have a lot of black accents. Therefore I have a set of billet ones with GXP logo for sale. If you are going to Asheville I would bring them with me and for $30.00 they are yours.  PM me if you want them.

Dammit.  You're right Marvy... that would've been almost 2 cents!  :devil:

 Thats what I did pd 358.80 .I added a custom design on each cap. I know most of the  time it does take a lot longer when custom work is done.
