Just tossing out a thought here, but it would be beneficial if FF showed who was in each batch with the planned ship dates that they shared earlier in the thread.

Batch 1 - ship Date April ??
1) user name
2) user name

Batch 2 - ship date: May ??
1) user name

etc.

I think that would clear things up quite a bit, but I don't know how this is being run on their end.

Yeah, this is getting to the point of being beyond ridiculous. Dozens of people have already paid them, nobody knows what batch they're in, and they don't answer emails/PM's or return phone calls. And then when someone does occasionally pop into the forum they give an excuse of being out of town and not having access to the forum.

I, for one, sent in my CC auth form over a month ago and haven't heard a peep even though I sent several emails with a few basic questions. I'm about to just bail since this is being handled so poorly. Also after reading some feedback of those that got it installed, it doesn't seem to truly help MPG at all (as they claimed) and HP gains, if any, would be hard to prove since this type of item is impossible to test on a dyno due to the amount of wind required.

Me too. No idea what group I'm in or when they will show up. They are on the forum today showing off the new wheel that they are going to be selling. I would think that since they are on the forum today they should be responding to PMs

I just noticed that. WTF?? They have time to pimp their new gear, but not to take a few minutes and get back to the people who have already placed orders and are awaiting replies?

Thanks for the info Cleo.

At this point I'm sure you know the 3rd order was pushed to yesterday so they could add washers, which is fine. However, I'm in that 3rd order and I have not received any tracking information yet...
I'm extremely disappointed with the handling of this entire transaction
