all rumours on the ganster thing ....but if makes you feel nasty ..go with it LOL

there is a reason i open up this post again and that was for closure on something very unfortunate that happened to me ...

i have my own contacts with Junction Produce and pretty much speak with them Sunday-Thursday to let them know whats going and if there are any problems

Like when the Group buy fiasco happened ,that wasnt their fault and i helped out any members that contacted me and gave them air shipping so they could get their products direct
so they would have any problems

I set up a great relationship with them and been able to air ship everything

wheels took a week and half to get here ...taillights 2 weeks ...bodykit 2 weeks

Air shipping is the way ..you may pay more but when i want something i DON"T like to WAIT

anything else you want to know pleade PM

id like to tell you what really happened with some things

Damn Johnny, glad these came to fruition. They are a really classy wheel and should prove deadly with the new kit.

Generally how much more is air shipping than slow boat? Is it double, triple? I am thinking about buying a kit and it will take about 6-8weeks for slow boat. But if I can get it in half the time it will be worth it. I know I waited over 3 months for my WIN kit, so I would like to cut down on that wait time, if it is not very expensive.

well one thing to keep in mind about air ship is not just the weight, BUT also the size. when you ship body kits, the weight is not what kills you (how heavy could fiber glass weigh anyway), but it's the sheer size of the boxes. and to be honest i think spending 1000 bucks for air ship a body kits is not uncommon, especially when shipping a set of wheels could be 600 bucks or so
