He also answers their questions in about the same time and manner as he does ours, vague, sometimes seemingly intentionally not answering certain questions, etc... he does own and posts pics of his Matrix over there and seems to frequent MO a lot more often thtn he does here. I called the company and got info on it. It seemed to be legit.

Wasn't he supposed to post the list that showed who was in what order? I might just call to check what number I am...

I called and they told me at JSP what number I was and when they SHOULD get done. If you really want to know, then call them. I'll be patient for now, but come June I'll be finding a way to get my $50 deposit back!

Ok so I JUST called they said I was #2 and they said it would be delayed until LATE JUNE doh!

Psychobroker · Post by **Psychobroker** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 8:48 am

And I found out that I'm #1, although that means squat since they'll be shipping the regular CF hoods first Oh, and I'm ready for my hood NOW haha (thank you IRS, finally).EDIT: Sooo, does anyone know if they will have rolled edges?!?! Havok still hasn't commented on this. One would think they would know what kind of edges it would have upon designing the mold, right?

Kind of weird.

Smokin' Rubber · Post by **Smokin' Rubber** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 10:33 am

Well #1 in terms of payment, they may still delay the kevlar or maybe not since they are taking such a long time it may be the same for CF as kevlar now

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 10:41 pm

Well, looks like I'll be able to pay my ticket on time, AND I'll be able to get my springs...I gues it's not that bad if we have to wait that long. I'll be able to buy other things too.

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:24 am

man....this is turning out to be a worse delay then the aerogear kits...i could of bought both and paid off both at this rate...speaking of the kits..WHEN WILL WE GET THEM...back on topic...tthe hoods will look awesome...and this is legit if they have what place that you guys purchased them in...its just a matter of waiting..which by all means sux.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 2:33 am

Yeah, it has to be legit. JSP is a big brand name and they wouldn't risk their name on something like this. I have no reason to doubt the production is underway but this delay is kind of disappointing. I wanted ot have mine before the last day of school June (3rd) but that's obviously been pushed back. Then I figured I'd have it by the time the Michigan super meet rolled around but I gues that's not gonna happen either. We'll probably get them around November, just in time to take it off for the winter lol.

Apparently our hood aren't as important as their other business for them to take this long to build a hood that they made thousands of before on different model cars. It's not like it is something new to them so I don't see how it could possibly take this long to get done unless they are just flat-out not working on them.

ok everyone heres tha deal. Im not too happy about this whole thing and its causing me to look elsewhere for work. Anyways the hood was sent to canada to be molded and made.. Well i guess we had some issues with the canadian side with molding and such so we got another hood and shipped it to china where we are having some of our hoods made now. Unfortunately the hood was just shipped out last week to china so we have to wait for them to produce.. They can produce much faster than our canadian cf guys and we should have all the hoods in the next ocean container we get. This will be near the end of June from what they are telling me. Im very sorry for the delay if anyone wants to pull out you can call the office and ask for Aaron Er for a refund of your deposits.

I'm out! I may go with a SLP or RK Sport hood in Neptune Blue instead. Good Luck, I hope you guys get your hood when promised.

Smokin' Rubber · Post by **Smokin' Rubber** » Sun May 01, 2005 4:14 pm

Another question is since they are being sent to china to be produced are we going to get to see what they look like before we buy them and are they still going to be the same price?

ragingfish · Post by **ragingfish** » Sun May 01, 2005 4:20 pm

Smokin' Rubber · Post by **Smokin' Rubber** » Sun May 01, 2005 7:13 pm

It does reek of scam but its just a legit company that has more stuff to do than a < 10 person group order for hoods. I think it's also just poor organization and bad luck

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Sun May 01, 2005 10:46 pm

Well...I gues I'm in still but, I want to see detailed pics of this before I buy it Thanks for the update, please if at all possible, respond to the rolled edge question and silver kevlar...maybe check back at the site more often for updates.

havock · Post by **havock** » Wed May 04, 2005 7:14 am

ok guys.. listen this isnt some scam and i dont want to be affiliated with anything that says scam on it.. I agree with the portion of unorganized. I no longer work for JSP due to the fact that they are not organized and i cannot stand by a company that brags about quality and cannot produce simple hoods for paying customers on a reasonable basis. As i said before you can call the office 716-871-0262 and ask for Linda or Aaron Er for a refund of your money for this group buy. The same thing is happening with the matrix group buy but the only difference is China already makes a Matrix hood and Aaron is trying to get one here to see if the matrix owners want that hood. I cannot believe the amount of time these projects are taking and am very sorry for any inconvience it has caused anyone here. I hope that no one here is mad at me directly as i was the one who decided to offer these hoods but the company is the one that poked around with making them. I am very sorry. As i said before I no longer work there i quit yesterday and am currently debating on 2 different offers for employment and will start a new job next week. I hope that these hoods are produced to your satisfaction and you get them soon. If you have any questions please call their office and find out whats going on.. I will check in from time to time to see whats going on. Once again. Sorry for this.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Wed May 04, 2005 10:19 am

Not a good sign, guys! Well Havok, it sounds like what you said about the hood being in production all those times and the guys stealing your camera was all bull$hit! Like I said in an earlier post. Lame delay tactics. You should have been more up front with us with what was going on and kept us updated more often instead of blowing us off. I'm not blaming you Havok, but communication is key. Good luck with your next job.The longer this went on, the more of a bad feeling I got about it. I called on Monday to get a refund. Funny, I got Aarons voicemail, left a message and have not heard from him since. I will be calling again tomorrow. There better not be a problem getting my deposit back or there going to be an a$$ whoopin'!

Quote, originally posted by Merzbow Â»Well, I gues we should all get togather and decide if we really want to do this still.I assume that if 1 person has pulled out then they would cancel the order, but then I should think they would automatically refund the deposits. Of course, why would they do that if they can try to scam some more and keep them unless you call requesting it! I think it's dead, but call and check. I will be. I have a feeling it is and will most likely be getting(trying to get more like it!) my deposit back.

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Wed May 04, 2005 11:00 pm

I just talked to Aaron. He said that he has been out of the country. He mentioned that Havok resigned on Monday and he had no idea what was going on with the group buy but was going to look into it. He took my information and said they would be crediting my Visa card for the $50 deposit.

She says it's still a go and should be done mid-June. I don't know what to do yet. She says they're waiting on the mold and then 4 weeks from that, so they are hoping mid-June. Delay??? I don't know anymore.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu May 05, 2005 12:35 am

How about this, lets wait til maybe June 1st and see where it stands...if nothing is done than we will pull out. I have other things I would like to buy with this money so I cannot wait forever.

havock · Post by **havock** » Thu May 05, 2005 12:39 am

the group buy is still a go.. the hood shipped to china already i made sure of that. they had the hood in canada and were screwing around so jsp pulled the hood and sent it to china this is where the delay happens because china has to produce the hoods and then ship via ocean container. Im not saying the hoods arent being produced im just letting everyone know that its taking longer due to the ocean shipping. For those of you that are waiting for this group buy you will get your hood just not in a timely fasion. These hoods should have already been produced unfortunately there wasnt timely decisions made to let canada produce or send to china.

That sounds pretty reasonable since we have been giving them the benifit of doubt, and the have been pulling us around this long what is another month. But if no good word comes the 1st I'm calling and getting my refund!!

But if no good word comes the 1st I'm calling and getting my refund!!Yeah, I just got off the phone with Linda and changed my order fromthe silver to the regular black cf so I can paint my car when I get the body kit installed and it will look right. Silver kevlar was costing more and, from what I was told before, would take longer as well.
