There seems to be enough interest to put another one of these together.

You would be looking at a high quality vinyl that would be stitched on the edges. I know the OEM was thermally bonded, but the cost to set up and do that would double the cost at less that 100 sets. So, they're not exactly like OEM, but they will have the mirror sewn in like the OEM.


I will also make new visor clips available if you wish for $50 a set of all 3. These are the ones with the stainless pins. This will be only to those that are in on the visor refurb deal.

Just chime in on the thread here to get yourself on the list. As soon as it looks like we've got the 20 sets, I'll send the details.

The price for vinyl is $104 with your cores. Please send stripped as shown or there is an additional $10 in cost (any it costs you more to ship). This price is + shipping back at cost. Figure about $10 domestic give or take a few bucks.

Sorry for the double post- 'm still getting used to this touch screen

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 5 2014, 01:50 PM

It really depends on when we hit 20.
Thy all have to be done together, so if guess we could start in 2-3 weeks, and it would be 2 weeks from there.
The big issue is I need 20 sets in hand to start.

Posted by: sbsix Mar 5 2014, 01:53 PM

Mark my guess is that there are hundreds of 914s that need new visors. I don't know where anyone could get a set these days. I've been searching for a set for years to replace mine. At your price, its a no brainer.

Posted by: Scott S Mar 5 2014, 01:54 PM

Wow - those look great!
You wouldnt happen to be able to a set for a 911 would you??

Posted by: andys Mar 5 2014, 01:57 PM

BTW Mark,

Shouldn't the mirror flap be hinged on the other (bottom) side? You'd want the flap hang down and uncover the mirror without the need to otherwise hold it up. To me, your setup looks upside down.

Andys

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 5 2014, 02:03 PM

Its a passenger side mirror

Posted by: bandjoey Mar 5 2014, 02:06 PM

In if I can find another core. Using right visor now on drivers side just to have one. Check tonight and let u know.

Posted by: andys Mar 5 2014, 02:27 PM

Mark,

Yeah, I know it's the pass side, but help me out....Maybe I'm having a senior moment here, but the the photo shows the visor(s) in their mounted and pulled down orientation, correct?

Andys

Posted by: boogie_man Mar 5 2014, 02:30 PM

Will you please stop doing this, every time I think I have all I needed from you, you go and change the game LOL.....great work Mikey !!!!! Can they be done in leather covering instead ???


Thanks

Yes Please....

Posted by: 75porsche914 Mar 5 2014, 03:44 PM

I'm in for a set Mike. Also I will be in contact next week to order seals. I'm doing a complete re-paint. I don't need all the seals in the complete seal package Sao hoping for some help.

Also, any news on the dash? I have a 75 and the interior is the next stage.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 5 2014, 04:46 PM

Yes they can be done in leather, but it will be extra, I'll have to see what the additional cost is.

the visor is shown in the down position. The flap should be down when open too.

Posted by: black73 Mar 5 2014, 05:41 PM

Put me down for a set w/clips. Now I just have to find my cores!

Posted by: 76-914 Mar 5 2014, 05:42 PM

There isn't enough room to open one against the roof and one would have to pin it or hold it up in order to use.

I'd be in for two but only have a driver's side core- passenger side was in bad shape and lost during restoration

Posted by: e_artiles Mar 5 2014, 07:14 PM

Please add me for one set.

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 5 2014, 07:31 PM

I need visors so badly. However, I don't have cores. Anyone have a set I could buy? Also, any chance to get them just solid with no mirror? I know....I know...high maintenance.

Posted by: napasteve Mar 5 2014, 07:47 PM

I like MoveQik's idea: no mirror on the passenger side and no pouch on the drivers side. Keep things simple. If it's too much of a PITA to do I understand.

Posted by: Harpo Mar 5 2014, 07:52 PM

Michael - Your build was one of the conversions that inspired me. PM me your adress and I will send you a set of cores.

Posted by: Dtjaden Mar 5 2014, 08:24 PM

I'm in for a set. If leather is reasonable I might go for that as an option.

Posted by: craig downs Mar 5 2014, 08:30 PM

I missed the last one and wish I got in on it. So yes I'm in for a set as mine are in sad shape

Posted by: HarveyH Mar 5 2014, 09:41 PM

Count me in too, no clips.

I tried to order earlier this afternoon but Comcast decided to upgrade something. 5 hours or so on the phone and we still can't get the modem to recognize the router

Let me know when and where to mail the cores.

I'd like a pair with the visor clips too!

Posted by: nihil44 Mar 6 2014, 04:31 AM

Mark,

One set plus clips. I reside in the underside of the world where we drive on the left hand side of the road so it is OK if the mirror is on the US driver's side.

Will strip cores this weekend and send them to you.

Thanks

David

Posted by: Harpo Mar 6 2014, 06:31 AM

Looks like we have 33 members signed up. I better strip mine down this weekend and send them in

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2014, 12:26 PM

Check in the classifieds, also GPR had a bunch of cores at one time. Crappy ones should not be too hard to find.
-Mark

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2014, 12:28 PM

Is the layout the same? Just curious. If so I'd need to note for the construction.

PS It may be cheaper to buy a set of cores here from someone to ship to me.

Posted by: napasteve Mar 6 2014, 01:23 PM

Is this a go? It looks like you have way more than 20 interested.

If this is a go, what address do we send our cores to?

How do you want payment?

Posted by: dcecc1968 Mar 6 2014, 03:14 PM

I would love to get in on this, but I don't have any cores. Anyone have any they'd be willing to sell (I'll post on classifieds as well)
Thanks,
Don

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2014, 05:36 PM

yes, it's a go. I'll forward the info later tonight. Didn't think it would come together so fast.

Posted by: mharmon Mar 6 2014, 06:57 PM

I'm in for 2 sets. would it be possible to do both sets without a mirror on either visor?

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2014, 07:53 PM

I can make "naked" if you prefer.

Posted by: lonewolfe Mar 6 2014, 08:49 PM

Hey Mark,

do the clips include the middle plastic piece that the visors clip into?

Posted by: mrbubblehead Mar 6 2014, 08:51 PM

2 naked sets for me please....

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 7 2014, 03:20 AM

Yes, stainless steel pins cast into the plastic bases.
http://shop.914rubber.com/914-Visor-clip-set-left-right-and-center-914VCS.htm

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 7 2014, 04:23 AM

Ok,
I have this set up to keep it organized. This is listed in the group buy section on the website. You can get on, and "order" the item "914 visor rebuild service"

http://www.shop.914rubber.com/914-visor-rebuild-service-GB-914VRB.htm

You do not need to pay on the website. What this does is allows you to generate an invoice that you can mail a copy in with your cores and a personal check. You can pay on the website if you wish, if that's easier for you. I will hold the checks until these are ready to be processed. We will start as soon as we get at least 15 sets in. We anticipate 5-8 sets per week can be processed.

To get the clip at the special price you can enter the code I will be PM'ing those that have signed up. You will need to select the clips so they can be included with the visors when we return these. The clips code will not work without the service selected in the cart, so make sure they are on the same invoice.

Thanks again,
I will be holding this group buy open til production has ceased.
Thanks,
Mark

now to find the cores

Posted by: rmdinmd Mar 7 2014, 11:14 AM

I do have what may be a dumb question. do we send the mirror we have with the core or does this include a new mirror? thanks again.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 7 2014, 12:02 PM

No we are including a new mirror.

Posted by: HarveyH Mar 7 2014, 12:30 PM

Mark,
Just to be sure, do you need the pivot tension screws (or whatever Porsche calls them) included with the cores?


Harvey

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 7 2014, 01:13 PM

Please hold onto them. We will be using new similar ones, If you send them no problem, but you may not get them back.
-mark

Posted by: mepstein Mar 7 2014, 08:11 PM

If Mikey can make it work with two left side cores, I've got you covered.

Posted by: SKL1 Mar 7 2014, 08:50 PM

Just printed off the invoice- will send when I get my passenger core from orthobiz- thanks!!

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 7 2014, 08:50 PM

I can make them as a left and right, but the screws will be opposite. I can flip one over, but the clamp is set up so it can only be used one way. If you don't mind screws on opposite sides (one up and one down) Yes it can be done.

Hope this helps.

Posted by: mepstein Mar 7 2014, 09:16 PM

Mark - I am in for 1 set. Thanks, Mark

Posted by: rmdinmd Mar 8 2014, 12:58 PM

this is how my passenger side mirror was set up.



looks like the hinge is at the bottom when visor is down.

thanks again for doing this.

Mark,

I don't see where you responded to the up side down mirror flap issue.

Andys

Posted by: mdelwiche Mar 13 2014, 01:34 PM

I'm in for a set as well. I'll stripping them down to the cores this weekend and then sending them out!

I have one extra set if someone is looking for some

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 13 2014, 09:36 PM

We do have a clearance issue that would require moving the position of the mirror up to accommodate. We will be producing all visors as shown with the exception of the one that has been specified. As it gets more difficult with more options, and more opportunity to have problems any further requests for the flap on the opposite side will cost the same price as these were when we did the last group buy. $125 per set.

Posted by: mepstein Mar 14 2014, 07:01 AM

When you say "mirror flap orientation" on the site, do you mean left or right or top or bottom flap?

Posted by: jrrhdmust Mar 14 2014, 09:19 AM

I am in for a set with clips.

Thanks,
John

Posted by: andys Mar 14 2014, 09:39 AM

Mark,

In an ealier post, you responded "I'll check with my guy to see if there are any clearance issues, but I don't see it as a problem."

So your guy says there's a clearance issue, and you will not offer the mirror flap oriented in the correct (factory) orientation in this group buy? Just want to be sure I understand correctly. Also, does the "naked" version cost less?

Thanks,

Andys

Posted by: mepstein Mar 15 2014, 04:14 PM

Looks like this can be fixed by switching the orientation of the small threaded clip. Makes sense to produce one frame and use hardware to determine the proper orientation.

Can I get them without the mirror??

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 16 2014, 11:53 PM

Yes, You will need to check naked, and note you do want the pocket if you do.

I am tryig to round up some cores, but have not seen any come through yet. so I can't say if I will have any until I see them on my doorstep.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 17 2014, 12:06 AM

Andys,
We are offering a GB on the format we have produced and have templates for. We are doing so at a price $21 less that the last GB. We can move the mirror up slightly to make the flap on the opposite side as requested, it just costs us more to have more options. It has to do with the way we make them. These are not idential to factory, but are a good alternative.

No the naked does not cost less, as we are giving you the buy at the price of the naked ones on the old GB.

On the last GBthe majority of the guys want them with all the options, so we set up to make them in mass at the lower price. We have made all the parts, the question is do you want them attached to yours?

Were just trying to get you a good product at the best possible price for the majority.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 17 2014, 12:12 AM

Does anyone know what the name of the speed nut clip is??? I'm searching but not seeing anything online like this. Stopping by Ace Hardware later today, too.

Posted by: bandjoey Mar 18 2014, 12:20 PM

Mikey unless U can locate a source for the screw clips I'm going to be out. The factory screw down tension clip has the backstop to keep the screw from putting a hole in the cover material and will not slip down into the visor if the screw is pulled out....2 Strikes against using a speed nut glued onto the metal.

Any and all suggestions for a source. McMaster Carr did not have anything close.

To buy another set of cores they'd have to be really cheap. I am a CSOB Teener.

If nothing comes out by the end of the GB just issue a paypal refund. Thanks Bill

Thanks Mark!! Received my new visors today and they are great!

Posted by: Mblizzard Apr 30 2014, 06:29 PM

Sweet! Can't wait to get mine! Mark does some really cool stuff. Especially when it is not his full time job.

Visors arrived today, really nice.

Thanks

Posted by: Dtjaden May 9 2014, 08:50 PM

I got mine yesterday. I had them done in leather and they look great.

Thanks, Mark

Posted by: somd914 May 14 2014, 07:49 AM

Mine arrived last week, been busy... Finally installed - looks fabulous. Now my 911's visors look rather sad...

Posted by: JmuRiz May 14 2014, 07:55 AM

I wish I would have gotten in on this...oh well.

Posted by: JStroud May 14 2014, 08:01 AM

Any news when mine will ship, 3729 2 sets, it's sunny...no visors

Thanks
Jeff

Waiting for my guy to finish up a few more for me should be Friday. These are coming along more slowly than I'd like, but we are making progress. I'm going to have to check in the shop to get more rolling. I do understand that a few of these did get made out of sequence and I had not stacked them in order, for that I apologize.
I have Cheryl handling these exclusively so she can keep track as many are on the print and call program, and a few came without checks.

Posted by: Mblizzard May 14 2014, 11:20 AM

After seeing examples of the ones done, I am good to wait. Don't get me wrong I would take mine now but compared to what I had, driving without them is not so bad.

Posted by: bulitt May 20 2014, 07:52 AM

Wait, someone pinch me. Remind me again I only paid 104$ for these?
They are gorgeous

Thanks Mark!!!

Posted by: Mblizzard May 20 2014, 07:55 AM

Sweet! Cant wait to get mine.

Posted by: jrrhdmust May 20 2014, 10:02 AM

got mine - awesome!!!!! Thanks Mark!

Posted by: Mikey914 May 21 2014, 10:20 AM

Mike yours are on the way
I did cut the price to the bone on these Should have been about $10 more. These just took longer than anticipated, but seems that's almost always the case, but at least I got a run of these going.
-Mark
More to ship Monday

Posted by: wndsnd May 26 2014, 07:34 PM

Mark, checking in on my visor order. Where am I in the production schedule. Hopefully getting closer to completing soon.

Thanks
John.

Posted by: Mikey914 May 27 2014, 12:23 AM

PM me your invoice number I can check. I have more coming out this week. Hope to have them all wrapped up in the next week.

Your are in the next group that should be ready Friday.

Posted by: bandjoey May 28 2014, 03:26 PM

3683?

Posted by: 75porsche914 May 28 2014, 05:39 PM

Mark, would love to add to your order list. I understand this deal has closed, thanks for considering. Took me longer than anticipated to get my car through paint and recent repairs.

Any indication on if you'll offer this group buy again in the future? I can wait if needed.

Thanks again Mark

Posted by: bandjoey Jun 12 2014, 06:47 PM

Update?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 12 2014, 08:07 PM

I have more to go out tomorrow. I'll update tomorrow.
Mark

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 13 2014, 05:21 PM

3 sets to Snyder
1 to Szyszkowski
1 to Downs

Posted by: Mblizzard Jun 13 2014, 07:45 PM

Got mine the other day. Great work Mark!

Posted by: Cuda911 Jun 13 2014, 08:14 PM

Any plans to place a second order in the near future? If so, count me in.

Also, sorry for the naive question, but what is meant by "visor clips"?

Posted by: rmdinmd Jun 14 2014, 02:50 AM

post 61 has a link to clips

Posted by: Cuda911 Jun 14 2014, 03:19 AM

Ah, thanks for the info. I don't think I need the clips.

Posted by: mepstein Jun 14 2014, 03:15 PM

I have a set from the group buy. They came out very nice but the mirror on the passenger side is just not doing it for me. I should have ordered "naked".

My first choice would be to trade with someone who has a set with the mirror delete option. 2nd choice will be selling outright.

Posted by: rktmn247 Jun 14 2014, 06:40 PM

I can't find my invoice so I can't give you a number, but would you be able to give me a status?

Posted by: orthobiz Jun 14 2014, 06:47 PM

The mirror is functional. I thought the same BUT I have a wife and a daughter and a daughter and another daughter, so I'm gonna keep it and make use of it!

Paul

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 20 2014, 10:26 PM

I have a guy doing these for me, and I will have another 6 sets this next week. Unfortunately, he did get some out of order, so I don't know where we are until he gets them to me. Less than ideal, but they will get done. He's great at doing the work, but the organization is killing me. At least I have each set tagged so when they are done I will get them back to the correct party. But withe the print and call it's hard to get the time line correct, as a few guys that were the first to order (lower order number), were the last to get them to me.
So, please be patient with me we are getting them done, and hopefully picking up the pace.

Thanks again,
Mark

Posted by: Cuda911 Jun 21 2014, 02:15 AM

Hi Mark, did my visor bones show up there yet?

Thanks!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 21 2014, 02:43 PM

92056? if so yes

Posted by: JStroud Jun 21 2014, 06:42 PM

Did you find my second set that's missing yet?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 22 2014, 10:04 AM

Yes they are staged for this next week. They somehow got separated, but are accounted for now.
Mark

Posted by: Cuda911 Jun 22 2014, 11:02 AM

Should be 92054.

Hmmm..... I used to live in 92056..... maybe Alzheimer kicking in?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 23 2014, 03:50 PM

I couldn't say for sure. Last name Miller, dropped at a postal Annex in Oceanside. if so Yes

Hi:

I would like a set if you are still rebuilding these.

Dan,

You can place an order for these on www.914rubber.com. I would highly recommend these as I have a set and they are awesome!

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 3 2014, 10:45 PM

It seems that I still have production on these dragging out. I had hoped to wrap them up, but they are still trickling out so I will keep this open til the end of the month. I did have to increase the cost slightly, but still less than the $125 of the 1st run we did.

Suns getting hot! When do the next ones ship?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 14 2014, 09:09 PM

I had 4 sets out last week. We are getting more mirrors cut, they will be ready later this week, and we will get production back up. We can do the visors with pockets, but the mirrored sided are awaiting the parts.
-mark

Posted by: bandjoey Jul 25 2014, 01:43 PM

Go ahead and ship mine without the mirror. I'll just use a selfie instead of the mirror.

Posted by: daraho9146 Jul 25 2014, 02:08 PM

Is the price for the pair or each one?

Posted by: JStroud Jul 25 2014, 02:52 PM

Any idea when the other 1/2 of 3729 will ship?


Thanks,
Jeff

Posted by: Mblizzard Jul 25 2014, 03:49 PM

It was for the pair. May not be the fastest production wise but the sure look great. Worth the wait.

Posted by: rktmn247 Jul 25 2014, 08:07 PM

Received my visors, all I can say is WOW! They look great. Thanks Mark!

Posted by: Cuda911 Jul 25 2014, 09:25 PM

Not to be a PITA, but any ETA on mine? Thanks!

Posted by: smveril Jul 26 2014, 08:35 PM

I got mine a week or so ago and they are better than the photos.

Posted by: bandjoey Aug 2 2014, 06:03 PM

Got my set today! We'll worth the money. Great quality. Thanks Mike

Posted by: dlindzey Aug 3 2014, 09:32 PM

i am in as well, but; i do not have any visors at the moment so not sure how that will work. let me know if you have any ideas.

Posted by: JStroud Aug 11 2014, 08:23 PM

Still waiting!!!!
This is starting to get really annoying.

Posted by: Cuda911 Aug 18 2014, 05:15 PM

Mark, Could I get a status update on my visors please?

Sent my visors to you on 6/16/2014.

I've sent a couple emails as well, but received no reply.

Thanks!

Posted by: napasteve Aug 19 2014, 02:17 PM

According to FedEx, Mark received my cores and check on 7/30. Mark replied to a PM from me that day. No reply to my 8/8 PM or my email yesterday. Mark on Vacation??

Posted by: Mikey914 Aug 20 2014, 07:34 AM

Thanks Guys,
Yes I get it. The GB has drawn out longer than I'd like, but I have kept the door open so that means these are not the only things going. I'm not personally sewing these myself, but have to rely on my assistants and guys I have doing the work. They get busy too, and I have to be poking them to make sure they are keeping things moving.

My situation at the airline I've been working for has changed. I took a captain upgrade, this meant that I was in training for 4 months, and I'm now based in Medford on call. This has taken a lot of the flexibility out of my schedule. My assistant Blake has stepped up, and the day to day shipping and anything that processed through the site gets out quickly.

The GB for the visors has not been completely seamless. We double shipped Mike Blizzard (thanks for your honesty) and shorted JStroud (who will be receiving his second set in the next few days). Just switched a label. I do have another 6 sets that will be in by the time I get back tomorrow morning.

Yes, I have been more difficult to reach. My only other option was to fold the business or sell it. I didn't want to do that. Things are getting more back to normal, and I do have a few other projects that will be ready in a few weeks, but it has slowed down my momentum.

The good news is I was have much deeper pockets for tooling. I do have a few items that I've been wanting to do that we can all use, it had just been a matter of cash flow.

To all I appreciate your patience, the opportunity presented at the day job was something I had to do, I only had 2 weeks notice, so putting a transition plan in place was a little crazy, but it is working. I will be changing the contact info to allow you all to contact Blake directly, and I will still be available for help, but I may not have access to your tracking number or order status at any given moment. I can get you the info, but it may take a day or so. I would like to spend more time here but a reply off a thread may take awhile. The contact info will be switched over later today for better service.

By the way, yours is one of the 6, that will ship tomorrow. Cuda11, yours should be in the sets to go out also.

The rest should be wrapped up in the next 2 weeks (except the 2 sets that are inbound).

-Mark

Posted by: Cuda911 Aug 23 2014, 03:10 PM

My visors showed up... worth the wait, very pleased with them!!

(Mark... one super minor issue... posting here for others so that they can easily fix.... The people assembling the re-covered visors are using screws that they manually cut down from longer screws. These wont work, since they don't thread into the rear hole on the clips. So, it's impossible to tighten them onto the visor support posts.

I saved my original screws, and that works perfectly. Minor, I know, but just wanted to let people know to save their original visor screws.

Anyway, they look great, Mark....thanks!!!!!

Here's some pix:

Congratulations!! So... Do we have to call you Captain Mike now?

Posted by: dudzy's914 Aug 23 2014, 07:12 PM

Still waiting for mine...

Posted by: Steve Aug 23 2014, 09:02 PM

Did the price go up $76.00? I noticed that your web site says $180.00 now for vinyl.

Posted by: Mikey914 Aug 24 2014, 11:54 PM

The price was never $76, I had these on the site as a special GB, so from here on out yes I can do them, but they are no longer effectively large enough of a group to be a GB. Hold off unless you really need them, if we get another 20 together I can do a GB again, but I have to stop the trickle somewhere are the economy of scale is not there.
-Mark

Posted by: Steve Aug 25 2014, 11:39 AM

Thanks Mark!!

I meant that they went up in price $76.00 to $180.00 on your web site, compared to the $104.00 group buy.
I will wait for the next group buy. My stock ones are in pretty good shape.

Posted by: napasteve Aug 27 2014, 08:43 PM

Mark, I have PM'ed you, emailed you, sent you the FedEx tracking info on my cores/check and left a msg on your answering machine. I still have not heard back from you to confirm you received my cores and check and have no evidence that I should expect some nice naked sunvisors. I understand you are busy but I'd really appreciate some communication. thanks, Steve

Posted by: JStroud Aug 27 2014, 08:45 PM

Still haven't received my second set

Posted by: JmuRiz Aug 28 2014, 08:01 AM

Yep, I've been waiting for the next time you do a group buy. They look great and would go perfectly with a stitched leather or vinyl dash!!! maybe I'll have to get one of those too.

Posted by: Jett Aug 28 2014, 09:42 AM

I would live two sets when available.

Thanks

Posted by: napasteve Aug 30 2014, 06:04 AM

Got my naked visors yesterday and they are great. Thanks Mark.

Posted by: JStroud Sep 4 2014, 10:25 PM

That's sure is a long couple of days 15 days since that was posted and......................................STILL have not received my second set.

Only been waiting since May when the first set arrived without the second set that were sent in together, but hey what's four months and three delivery promises, we're all friends, right

Posted by: orthobiz Sep 5 2014, 04:38 AM

Frustrating to say the least! I ordered a set a few months ago, without mirror and pockets, and when the first mailing went out I received TWO sets WITH mirrors and pockets. Contacted Mark and sent the extra set back.

I have ordered several items from Mikey914 and have always been happy.
He makes stuff that no one else has bothered to even try to make.
He is singlehandedly keeping our cars going!

BUT

He has a daytime job.
He does this as a side line.
He ALWAYS offers a group buy AND runs his website with regular inventory as well.

I have a daytime job and have been having a lot of fun selling just a few parts on the forum here this year. But I have no idea how Mark holds it together: taking orders, getting them in the mail, figuring out who has the group price and the regular price, blahblahblah. And tracking people in the various group buy threads here, the group buy area of his regular website and the regular area of his regular website. Daunting to say the least!

I can appreciate the frustration, it's not fair if you pay for something and it doesn't arrive as promised or scheduled. If you PM me I can send you the phone number for Mark. I have the number because I once ordered something, he had a question and he personally called me back.

Paul

Posted by: JStroud Sep 5 2014, 08:47 AM

Thanks Paul, I don't need his phone #, just frustrated, and posted to let him know I still haven't received them.

Edit: received my visors today. And I appreciate you checking with me Mark.

Posted by: Mikey914 Sep 7 2014, 09:00 AM

PM'd phone number

Posted by: dudzy's914 Sep 9 2014, 06:17 PM

Happy customer! Didn't mind the wait, I was in no rush. It was certainly worth the wait. Great work Mike! Can't wait to see them on the car!
