I understand these fuel rails are being made from scratch, but come on. I'm getting really tired of all the promises and then nothing. First I was told they would ship between January 4th-8th. Then it was a week behind, then another and another. Every time is is the fault of someone else.Two weeks ago I get this email from Matt after numerous emails and then asking for a refund "Not a problem. I am very sorry for the delays and am also not very happy with my machinist. He is however getting them put together right now (just left his place this morning)(Feb 4th). The rails will be going to plating Tuesday and shipping will commence next Friday (Feb 12th). I know this does not help, and again, I do understand your frustration and will get the refund to you. Again, please accept my deepest apologies for the delays and hope to see your name on the order list in the future. Take care and happy driving.... -Matt So I say ok no problem another week, then I receive this email on Feb 11th: "The fuel rails are shipping out Saturday!! Will be dropping them all off Saturday morning/afternoon so they should be leaving sac Saturday night or Monday morning! Thank you everyone for your patience." So I then ask for a tracking number and Tuesday Feb 16th I get this "Sorry Kevin, we were out for presidents day. The rails are being plated today as the platers mis-understood that I wanted them Friday (they thought I meant this coming Friday, a week later). So they are jumping on them and will be done tomorrow/Thursday and shipping out Thursday/Friday with tracking numbers. Again sorry for all the delays and thank you very much for your patience. Take care and you'll see your tracking number soon!" It also seems that I have to send at least three emails to get a response or update. It is now February 16th and still no shipped items. This is getting ridiculous. Is it that hard to either deliver as promised or not make the promise in the first place. Here is the email saying they will be going out for delivery I received on January 8th "We sincerely apologize for this delay. The holidays really slowed us down and the overwhelming orders suprised us. Please keep in mind these rails are 100% hand made and welded. The rails are rescheduled to leave in 1.5 weeks, tracking numbers will be sent out immediately following shipment. All of your injectors, connectors, clips, adaptors, fittings, and o- rings are ready to go. We just need a little more time to complete the rest of the rails. I hope everyone is as excited as we are with thte finished product! Thanks! Kip Driven Authority" This is the email that I sent them on Feb 4th after talking with Matt after asking for the refund "I really do want this kit. If you are certain that they will be shipping next Friday, then I will wait. I would however like to be updated between now and then. Please no more of the weeks without any updates. Let me know. Thanks, Kevin" Didn't they start this group buy in October 09 stating a delivery time of the first week in January? It just seems 4.5 months is enough time already. L8r, Kevin
