Looks great. I assume it runs as good as it looks!  What was the outcome of the fibreglass decklid matter? Did PIM take it back?

It runs like a stripe-tailed ape! I’m hoping I can throw wider tires on to control the power to the ground. Decklid was not close at all. PIM wouldn’t return emails and then when I did talk to them, Justin claimed my car was probably wrecked and repaired…not… my decklid is flawless with factory spotwelds and landmarks, and you can clearly see the measurements/dimensions are incorrect on the fiberglass decklid with a micrometer. It was not easy to return and they wanted to charge a restocking fee. Buyer beware, these don’t fit like stock like they have stated. PIM has been great in the past. Not sure why they were so poor at communicating this time and adamant their product was perfect.  Live and learn… but to leave on an positive(exhaust) note….Enjoy the sound!

I've heard this again and again. They sell a defective item then refuse to take it back. Why should you be paying a restocking fee? They misrepresented the product. You were given assurances that it would fit like your stock deck lid. You based your decision to buy it, on this assurance and the fact they'd stand behind it. As per usual, they claim it's the customer's fault. I don't get it. Why do people deal with them? With Hall Pantera, Steve Wilkinson, Dennis Quella or Larry Stock, they'll take anything back if the product is defective, doesn't fit or it isn't up to your expectation in some way.

Well, my code of morals and ethics have to be very high in pediatrics. I don't have the luxury of misrepresenting anything... I just expect people to be true to their intention(and word). The major problem wasn't that Jeri said it would fit perfectly (which I won't assume was a lie based on his past experience...maybe it was just a bad batch), it was avoiding all my emails in hopes I'd just give up or fall outside of a window that I'd lose my recourse with my credit card company. I've had this happen before... deceptive business practices... then your faced with 1. a waist of time small claims court, or 2. toss the decklid in the garbage b/c it would cost more than a stock hood to modify it to fit or miss work b/c of court. Biggest loss wasn't the few hundred bucks in shipping and BS, it was my time and the fact that others will see this thread and question their next purchase with them.

I’ve shared this before but here goes again.

when a new owner asks me where they should buy their parts I tell them that if they talk to enough owners, they will hear horror stories about every vendor and if that’s reason to cross them off the list, you will have no one you can purchase anything from.

I then go on to tell them that whoever they deal with, they should confirm that the vendor actually has the part in their hands as they speak, and to ensure that delivery is not dependent on some other source first supplying it to the vendor from which you make the purchase  

I tell them after a number of purchases from different vendors they too, will have their list of who they prefer to do business with and who they prefer to avoid doing business with.

but the one “vendor” that most of us never have any troubles with is a fellow owner. Many of us have a ridiculous stash of parts gathering dust. It just takes someone to ask for them to get packaged and sent to their new home  

My 2¢

Levi,

Your car looks amazing. I'm glad it turned out well. I hope you drive or trailer it to Monterey this year so that I can see it!

Corey

Thanks! You’ve been an amazing help to me on the project🙏🏼. Making arrangements to trailer it there😎. Looking forward to a cold beverage with ya! Rims come April 14th!! Forgestar was unfortunately very accurate on the 8 week build time for custom orders.
