congrats to you guys getting them. one of the best performance mods i did to my car, don't forget to pick up the 2 motor and tranny mounts, along with your exhaust manifold gaskets
Agreed..100% I called them out on putting their names on the list when they had no intention of buying..Waste of everyone's time. IMHO those members should get a warning or a red flag..this is the reason a lot of good Group buys fall thru..the Vendors go thru a lot of work to get this together at discount prices, to have clowns disturb the whole process.

exactly , i wish they did get some kind of a infraction but i dunno if that will ever happen Lali. these vendors go through so much time/effort to help us out and some members always do this. i mean look at the TTE GB sewell used to have before they stopped importing the TTE lip. would be hundreds of people saying "oh yeah,i want one", "oh yeah,if these were in stock i would get this" and then nothing from them when they are in stock. it was ridiculous..... even funnier after the GB date ended, tons of them were like "oh man,if this was going on still i would be all over this" but when they get extended, those same guys are no place to be found.

i fully believe in supporting our vendors its not the easiest for them either, constantly answering emails from pipe dreamers and hoping to make enough sales to re-coop their cost of vendor status which i guarantee you must people dont know is really high. so as im being long winded...i'll end it with this

guys, support our vendors and if you say your gonna buy something, buy it, especially on a GB cause when you do go to buy it, it will either be gone or more expensive

I agree in principle with what you guys are saying but if we're being realistic we accept the fact that sometimes things just happen that prevent people from committing to something they want. When the original GB idea is floated maybe people had the money then but between then and when the funds are due something came up. Doesn't make them bad people it just means they can't really afford it like they thought they could. Either way, I'm happy with the discount and looking forward to my headers...second set actually. If any cheapos want a set of S&S PM me. ha ha

If the business world would follow your idea, everything would fall thru. There are circumstances NO ONE can stay clear from, I Agree, But is that the case here. I doubt it..These people had to be PMed a couple of times without an answer.. Call me silly but Out of Respect and Courtesy, I would have PMed FIGS directly and told him my issues.
Not only that, but the List is for committing to buy, some vendors have taken it a step further making the list with a mandatory Down payment, in-case you Flake out guess what... NO REFUND..
Even at the time when they were on it, there was ENOUGH time for them to pull their name off the list prior to beginning the Deposit phase. SO no i do not have sympathy for them.

OK, fair enough. Bottom line though: you're getting your headers, right? And, I'm getting mine. Everybody else that came up with the money is going to get theirs as well. That's all that matters. Vendors/sellers deal with tire kickers all the time. It goes with the territory of trying to sell a product. What's the point in blasting the flakes or dragging them through the mud if they aren't able to get theirs? That's your prerogative and cool, we can just agree to disagree.
The bigger issue for me is being thankful we have enough for the GB and getting a good discount on a quality product. Thanks again to FIGS for putting it together.
Off my soapbox now. ha ha

No worry guys, the people that bailed have their reasons and these buys do favor the patient and thrifty. I will close it out Sat so any late comers should get it while you can.

Price is set up at $585 shipped! Tomorrow is the last day for the GB, regular price is $699 + shipping. I'm pretty sure this will be the last GB for us 2GS guys since we struggle to get to 10.
