I can't speak for anyone else, but I am committed to being in with Mark on this group buy. He started this and he will choose which way to go.
Yep, it's Mark's baby. I'll send him money when he tells me it's good.
Yes, at this I'd say lets stop the speculation.
If Harrington's bumpers are being stolen then they have a huge hole to plug in their security as my guy has 4 sets ready.
I told Harrington to get the police involved and have them charged with theft....I got back peddling.
I asked them what deal they are offering ...I got more back peddling.
If what they say is true and Harrington plugs the security leak, then PTT can't deliver can they.
Obviously there's bad blood between the two, I also believe there maybe other players pressuring Harrington.
As far as Mikey goes, he already tried to make a deal with Harrington and without going into details (IMHO confidential) he told me it didn't pass his sniff test.
I'm going to take PTT to task on this Monday and see how this unfolds.
The samples will be the tell on quality, I totally plan to use escrow for the main orders.
Worse case if the samples are crap and unusable to recoup my costs something along the lines of a "go fund me" will be deeply appreciated.
If usable, but what I deem unsaleable quality I'll use them and eat it.
They already know if the quality is shit the deal is dead. I have a zero accident 914 (mine) to check fit and a perfect set of painted bumpers to check dimensions, plus decent OE tops and OE as well as 914rubber fog grills. I have the capability to check tolerances to less than 1mm, I totally made notes and spec'ed out the bumpers I sent them.
I had already made the decision to do QC on all sets myself on my car. Plus I will be the one drilling the option holes.
Really this is far beyond the point of being "worth it" for me, if you guys want to bail go for it. If not I'll press on.
