still have heard nothing now , nor have i seen any kind of money order "supposdly returned" at the same time my items shipped back . im not holding my breath, any one that deals with this guy can do so at their own discretion . im sure he may do decent work in person it just seems he took on more work than he was able to handle and didnt resolve it professionaly .
-
depends if i ship them or not , i have them at a friends show room on consignment now but shipping is a bit expensive it is about 200 max to anywhere in the lower 48.
id definately do 1100 shipped at this point.

im more curious as to what they run at 12-13 v or whqat we actually see without the voltage boosters. i know some are reliable but the magnavolt is the absolute biggest pile of crap ever and they are guaranteed to fail within a few months.
im very curious as i may consider swapping just need to pull my bucket to see which numbers i need.
anyone have a linky to thread on tech?

im really curious if it actually push's that much more fuel , the thing looks dam near identical just with aeromotive branding on it . i cant see it really making that much more flow/volume but im curious to say the least as a twin set would drop in on my dual setup
do you have any tested flow reading from the two ? walbro vs aeromotive? what difference in amps/volt do they pull?

nice runs , it almost looks like there is a passenger in the 2nd pic.

love the 57 , very clean from what i can see.

they are a blast , i got my 02 ss maro to run 12.6 @ 109 with a few bolt ons , stock motor from pan to manifold .
4.10's and mt et streets did alot for me just had that m6 down to a T . i miss the hell out of driving it.
-
i have it but it came out horrible , my friend is a really bad camera man .
-
it was alot bigger than i expected , more and more trucks kept showing up . imo pretty dam cool , i live about an hour from the beach and a couple of my local friends said they were down there and saw a huge group of SS trucks . i was like yessir that was us!!!!
I am trying to get another setup for this summer but i want something to do rather than just sit around and b/s . im thinking car show/ go karting part 2 / and or some other fun type of event we can all enjoy .

that is something ive dealt with as well, ive sold many things at a large loss to me and i did so because i made a contract , verbal or written and reguardless i kept my end of the deal , and that is what i expect . I may have higher standard than others but something big in my house is treat others as you wish to be treated and we all live by that.
I would have spoke up sooner but i at minumum wanted to control damage and loss so i waitied to get my stuff back , the money at this point to me is gone and if its worth it to him so be it.
alot of the members know me and know i have worked long and hard to get where im at and i can get many of them to vouch for me as well. we both do the same thing when it comes to modding our trucks and helping others is part of it. Im just used to dealing with much more professional ethics when it comes to the internet. i have over 200+ feedback on ebay with 100% positive and as well as trader rating on other sites im not a vendor by any means but when it comes time to business i keep my end of the contract BOTTOM LINE!!!!

I spoke with chris in the beginning of february about doing an led interior conversion to my truck . we aggreed upon a price of 350 to cover shipping, labor and parts to install all the led's in white which imo is a great deal .he asked me to send a money order instead of paypal and send it to his fiance in which i agreed .i shipped it all on February 16th. it arrive on the 22nd . On the 28th i was told he got the door switches done and they sent him the wrong leds and were in blue , in which i asked for white . he said he had new ones coming and he would have it all shipped out the following monday . On march 5th i got a reply saying he was leaving for a trip to visit family that wasnt doing well. I wished him the best of luck and the same to his family. I sent him a reply on the 13th of march saying i needed the truck and too just ship everything back if he wasnt going to be able to get to it in a fair amount of time . He promptly sent me a reply saying he would have his fiance ship it out the next day and the correct led's had arrived at his place. he also asked when i need it by and he was flying home the following day . I sent a reply 10pm the next day asking if she had shipped it out and if not what would be the absolute quickest he could finish it by . He responded by asking when i needed it , in to which i said , 7-8 more days until i needed it in hand and i would send additional money to cover next day shipping. He said he was sick and had to work but would get it done at night after work. this was all on the 15th of march . I asked on the 17th how everything was coming along , no reply. the 18th i asked how much to send for next day air , no reply. the 21st asked if he was ok , no reply. the 22nd i asked just for a sign of life to let me know he was indeed ok and was worried as i havent got a response in a week. I asked just to ship everything back asap. the 27th i sent a text on how i just needed my stuff back and i was being as nice as i could wishing him the best as i knew he had family problems. I got a reply from his phone on the 28th from his fiance saying he lost his grandma and folloed by his grandpa on the 23rd. She informed me he had some parts done but he wanted her to send some parts from his truck so the lights matched and to send my address so she could ship on the 29th. She informed me chris wasnt doing well and was not talking to anyone. on the 30th i got a reply it shipped from newark nj on the 29th of march . on the 6th of april i had'nt received anything and i wanted a tracking number to check where it was. the 7th i got a reply saying he got a new phone and he would call me in a few. he said his fiance shipped it from her work and it should have been here by now. the 9th i was told he started a claim and he was leaving until the 18th and would not be available. the 10th i was told it shipped 10 days ago and she ran a claim on the 8th . the 10th i was told he shipped his trucks steering wheel controls and door switches so things would match . i was told he would ship a full interior in white lights complete when he had a chance. i sent numerous text's voicemails and on the 14th of april i received my interior back , dated shipped on the 12th of april and no money order . i also had my gauge clusted cover shattered to pieces. i sent a text showing the picture and asking where the money order was in to which i received a reply he was on vacation and i though he was stupid because the cluster i sent a picture of did not have the chrome rings (check all my older pics and it has them from an escalade)and to try again to rip someone off and that my money order was left in an envelope separate from the box the same day the interior was shipped and he wouldnt be responding to any more of my text's and calls . in to which i still have never spoken a word to chris directly .
in all i received not a single piece of interior with led lights(checked them all) my a/c controls now has a some scratches on them , the steering wheel controls are all scratched up , no refund on my money order of 350 to which was cashed on the febuary 11th. So i cant stop pay . I also received a busted gauge cluster too boot.
I have the entire conversation from text's saved for to whom it may concern. and the tracking number USPS 0309 2880 0000 2949 7669
here are a couple pics of the parts i received ( they were shipped in good non scratched condition ) the box with my radio(6 disc bose) heater/ ac controls/ window switched/heated door switches / airbag switch/ headlight switch/bed light switch and cluster with about half empty and packed very loosely. my cluster could have broke in shipping and most likly did from the non tight loose packing job that wont be honored by the usps .
I just want everyone know how my experience with chris has been. and let him have a chance to explain his side of the story , i wrote this from looking at my text's on my phone and have not exagerated or fabricated any of this information .
i just feel i have given him time to write his wrong and gave him time when he had trouble. a simple response in the 15 days i got no reply would have have been fine as well as not telling me to rip someone else off and telling the truth on what was actually going on with my interior . that is all i am going to say for now.

yeah but for guys with big alumasport brakes 18"+ is the only option
bump for a clean set of wheels ready to go. they are now dismounted
-
i have a place here in so cal that makes them . they can also make any color hose covering you want
if you want pm me and ill tell you were it is , you just need to take your stock lines to be copied . so if you want to take them off your truck and then go that would be best.
i have my stock set but loaned them to someone who i forgot , im asking around to see if i can find a set if you want to use them .
costs is a tad over 100 for all five lines.

i actually just got the same tires in yesterday in 305/40/22 , i may have an extra set if anyone in so cal wants a deal on them brand new .
they look awesome , ler=ts see how they perform.

-

-

-
yeah chris is my good friend , we are heading to havasu for desert storm in two weeks in his 37' scarab twin 502's should be a blast .
Steve yes , that is a process called hydro dipping as mentioned and im dropping off a few more parts of my interior to be done additionaly to what is already done.
dave ill get you one of your own if you want they install on the stock dipstick
there is actually a few things missing , calipers, wheels, shocks/shock mounts and frame . they are all being replace with something new.
not quite coil over but will develop to coil over as soon as i design a 4 link im satisfied with and figure out what i want to do with the fuel cell.
but this showed up today as well
busting out the welder this weekend and going for it , going to completely unplug both battery terminals and the pcm this time. i friend my pcm last time on my 08 with both battery terminals unplugged and did welding .
-
id like to fill mine but the cornering i plan to put on it soon will make the body roll and crack alot quicker. that being said mine has about 10 hrs into it and its not filled but lines up better than factory panels.
i also used a plate frame with a festoon style bulb ( same as in the overhead and puddle under mirror lights) and swapped it to led and it looks pretty trick.
-
conrgats matt , lucky sob got a boy , i know i wont be that lucky.
-
great mod and does more than look pretty , the stud kit is also a must have when doing this upgrade.
not saying my 10 bolt is indestructable but with the TA girdle , stud kit ,oem 3.73's and tru trac i doubt i could kill it if i wanted too , and it saves a alot of weight from me swapping to a 9.5 14 bolt
-
ok big update , i have touched the car . it is a little hard to grasp but its in good shape and has a ton of upgrades i didnt expect. the guy is really not wanting to sell for any less than 20-25k and thats way over my budget right now
