Yeah, I think this is what happened to the viper guy, realized it was too big a project. He said he backed out because a company nobody has ever heard from who has sold only a handfull of units at twice the price had cornered the market.......most companies would see that as easy pickings, or at least worth competing with.

JonV8944s Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Well whatever shot we had at this is gone, as I am in MI now for the family wedding and we took the GTR instead of the lambo. Oh well, I feel better that at least I tried to make something work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark01 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 I sent these ExoticComposite guys an e-mail asking all the questions we would like answered. I'll let you know how it turns out OK, spent 20 minutes on the phone with them. They say they have a product. They do not have any video or customer testimonials. They say they had set some up, but the customers didn't show. They guy I spoke with was thoughtful and intellegent. They require $7k down with a 6-8 week delivery. If you put that on a credit card, I'm not sure what the chargeback length of time is if it doesn't show up. I'm not sure what to think, other than if I don't know someone who had a successful outcome, I'm not the type to risk $7k up front or $15k if it doesn't fit, blows off, or leaks. I think we may be stuck with the tinker-toy canvas factory top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted April 29, 2013 I really don't understand some businesses, if you believe in your product and your ability just manufacture the damn thing and have at least one in stock. I wouldn't give them a penny, I would have zero confidence in giving someone money that has no confidence in having a measly $5k to $7k parked in their own product.

They should have at least one in stock and pics vids otherwise why would anyone want to risk buying their product? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggs never internalized it, he just rounded off arbitrary HP numbers and proceeded to shit on every tuner who actually has a running car.

How threads take on a life of their own... never pass up an opportunity to shit on Dwiggs.. lol.. This place has become quite lively over the ol' roadster top situation. Glad to do my part.
