ELglow gauge faces and hvac indglos

and what about getting the SVT logo on teh faces?

Yes that is correct.

The colors are blue/green and the have a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness.

I will consider buying the HVAC gauges off of you. Let me know.

Not just that, but the pictured speedo only goes to 130... SVT speedos go to 160; i.e. non-SVT. Are SVT-specific gauges a possibility here?

how much for just the HVAC?

I'm in man.

2/25!

Almost there!

I wont be following this GB so please let me know when it is time to send the money.

IF you will accept checks then I'm in 4/25 PM me with the info

I'm in the same boat as Chris. Maybe a Canadian group buy contingent??

Jonnie

I'm in!

Any way just to get the indicator light covers? I have the hvac, and guage overlays already.

In same situation as Chris & jonnie.

I'm in for KPH/MPH w/o HVAC if possible w/ HVAC if not possible.

Regards, Alan

if you could do a set for us Canadians for a non-svt i would be interested....

i can possibly send in original guages for a template as well, just have mine laying around.. as long as i get them back...

pm me if needed

And one other item, as I have a SVT, I would need a 260kph/160mph speedometer.

I'm in 6/25.

I'm in!
7/25
Just have to be the 130 model since I not fortunate enough to have SVT.

ok how about a headlight indiglo. its the same thing as hvac so should be easy enough to make. this would compliment the rest of the indiglos very well.

so everyone knows, there r errors in the indiglos. if your getting the same company. traction control is misspelled and the abs ebrake symbols are swapped. i didn't use either insert regardless. thought it was too much white. i just installed the main gauges, turn signal, and hvac. but i do want a headlight switch indiglo.

Well i am in for the 130mph and V6 the non svt

Please do a headlight switch glow gauge! Make a group buy just for that because there are plenty of CEGers that just need that one... - JOE

i think 25 is doable for a headlight switch. its small enough and there's one remaining open slot on my indiglos dimmer (even though we're not supposed to do this). with everyone who has the dash and hvac indiglos, 25 headlight switches should be no problem. i took my headlight switch apart when i wired the indiglos. should be cake to make.

I am in. Non SVT car. I will most likely not check this post much. Please PM me when its time to send money or else email me at skrilla187@hotmail.com.

Hey i want to get teh HVAC AND THE HEAD LIGHT SWTICH ONLY IF POSSible can seom one start a group buy for this, it would be great

I just happen to be in possession of (as far as i know) the ONLY reverse indiglo hvac panel produced. I bought off fc.org a long time ago...cost me like $80. It was a one off when they wre getting the indiglo hvac's made they tried making one of those. I might let it go for the right price.

Oh, and why get these produced? THey are all over ebay...new, for under $50 too.

btw- I'll need the 130/V6 model

I'm in!! I only need the HVAC but will get the speedo if I have to!!!

Any updates then? How many people do we have?

Ok here is the list we have so far.

1)1BADTOUR
2)dubkatz
3)Batmobile
4)Micah
5)crusinmercury
6)weaselbomb
7)tttc
8)Bumpin
9)Skrilla187
10)fastrussman

This is for the V6 with tach, gauges and hvac.

I have a few of our friends from up north that want one in kph instead of mph.

I'll have to check and see if that can be done, which I'm sure it can I'll just have to have 25 of those too, but I will check into that.

Now onto the subject of the Headlight switch face, I'm pretty sure that these can be made as well and there will probably have to be 25 of those as well.

I will donate my headlight switch to get one made.

Well just wanted to let everyone know I haven't forgot about this group buy.

Put me down for SVT/160mph gauges. I don't know if you'll get 25 people for this, but I guess its worth a shot.

i ordered the svt gauges off ebay. THEY SUCK AND ARE SITTING IN MY HOUSE. i had to end up ordering from cardoc.

I am in for sure. I just hope it is easy to install. Thanks.

Me too I'm in.

Any possibility of 25 in total, with different combinations? That would probably be more realistic, but in any case, don't forget to add us Canucks to the list, if this is possible for us.

if someone would want to we can go half a on a set ill tkae the hvac and they can have the speedo. any one interested?

I agree with Chris. It might be hard to get 25 people all needing the same gauges.
I for one would need pre98 V6 with 240kph on speedo and w/o SVT badging.

Porgieanne316, I'm interested. I just want the instrument cluster (speedo).
As stated earlier, I need mine in KPH for an SVT but that wouldn't make any difference to the HVAC.

Regards, Alan

All I need is the HVAC and the headlight switch!! As for the Guages I have an American SVT but I really don't care what guages I get as I already have Indiglo!!! I could probably get rid of the regular contour guages easier!!

If the headlight switch goes through I'll probably need just that. I already have the others.

I'm interested but need the svt guages (the ones that go to 160mph). I want the hvac too. If I can get both, I'm in!

Can we still get in on this, or am I too late?

I need the V-6 / 130mph complete set with HVAC, etc.

Thanks, and can you keep me posted via PM or e-mail or something, because I also do not check GB section everyday. I'm easy to get a hold of, since my cellphone beeps at me whenever I get a PM or an e-mail. Just let me know when you need money, ok?

Are these made by the same company? ebay auction I purchased these on ebay about a two months ago. If so I would be interested in the HVAC and Light Switch pannel if possible for a SVT.

Ok everyone who wants to start sending money can send it to my paypal account which is apluckydog@yahoo.com .

All we need is like 5 more people to buy the combo package and we can order extra hvac's.

Oh and btw we now have 20 people in on the gauges and hvac.
We only need 5 more to order these which will take 2 weeks to get this made and shipped out after we get everyone.

So I know I'm forgeting something so if you have any questions feel free to pm me or just shout it out here.

Put your name and address on paper with the check or money order and send it to me, oh please put your CEG member name on the paper too.
Thats about it for now.

the next you talk to cardoc can you PLEASE axe him if they can do the reverse indiglo hvac. we reversers want in on this group buy to. dont forget about us PLEASE!!!!!

im sorry i should have stated i need the svt gauges. not the regular v6. After all i drive to 160 mph all the time

If they are going to allow us to only buy the HVAC I am going to hold out for that as I already have indiglo speedo. If we need one more speedo buyer for this GB to go through I will then get both.

too bad about the CDN guages

would any US guages that would match up? i dont mind miles (it shows KM anyways).

mine go to 240 km/h (150 MPH)

and i would like some indiglos....

think i found my own answer.... US svt's go to 160 and US se's go to 130

ill do some comparing to see how far off the svt ones would be from mine.

wow, very surprising to hear about the headlight switch. i dont see why it would be so difficult, but i've never made indiglo switches. we all know anything is possible.

the fuel and temp parts of the main gauges appear to be similar sized to the headlight switch panel. why would it be any more difficult? i've taken the headlight switch apart. the actual face is bigger than it appears and likely similar to the fuel/temp. i bought some junk indiglos off ebay. lemme fool around with them. if the sizing isn't a problem with them, we should be able to get them made and just get the headlight writing on them.

Ok, I just PayPal'd you the money.

Originally posted by Josch:

Recived.

Now just to get the others rolling in.

I'm in on this deal.

Late, but in.

is there a pic of the svt ones?

Ok I got the word on all the questions everyone was asking. First the headlight switch is not possible to make. I talked to cardoc from FCO which is my contact on this group buy, and he said it was just to small and it would be really diffcult to make. Second its going to cost way to much money to get the gauges made for our friends up north, so that will not be happening sorry all you guys.

Ok now the bad news is out of the way time for the goodnews. Ok everyone who wants to start sending money can send it to my paypal account which is apluckydog@yahoo.com . All we need is 4 more people to buy the combo package and we can order extra hvac's. This includes any combo of SVT and V6 gauges.

you guys are aware you can get all of these things off ebay for like $30 right?

i'll wait to send $$$ until you get everybody in. still trying to see what happened with the bullitt fuel door that i got scammed on...

there r 2 types on ebay. i think one type are identical to these. the others SUCK. i know cuz i got them. i had to order from cardoc. since i have the bad ones lying around i'll fiddle w/ them for the headlight switch for sizing.

DO NOT ORDER INDIGLOS OFF EBAY FROM S-R MOTORSPORTS. THEY R NOT THE RIGHT KIND. they have a bad setup.

I might be interested in these, but i need to clear something up, which is if i were to get these, would i be getting the gauges and the thing over the AC controls? Also if the thing does go over the AC controls, during daylight, will it be a white color? Or will it be black? I own a SVT Contour and might be interested in these but i would need to have these questions answered first so let me know!

i hate to bring this up again but, what about reverse indiglo hvacs. should we reversers wait, forget about em, check some where else?

Yes this is a package deal you get both gauges and HVAC.

Yes the HVAC is white faced too.

Ok everyone I have a little bad news.

I was misqouted on the price of the gauges and hvac combo deal.

The price is going to be $72.00 plus $8.00 shipping, thats for the indiglo gauge faces with the HVAC indiglo.

The price is set and will not change again.

If it does I will pay for the difference out of my own pocket.

Thats my promise to you.

If we can get the reverse indiglos, I'm definitely in for the HVAC!

I was wondering... If I did happen to invest in these gauges, can we have the errors fixed? Like Traction Misspelling and the ABS-Ebrake switch? I might be interested... well I am interested, just dont count on me to be a buyer just yet.

Steve

cool.... obviously if they can do reverse indies i'm definitly in. thanx for trying btw.

Do we have to calibrate these or do they just go in place with the stock?
Next, go and put me down too...But I want a confermation of these guages in the works... Before I send payment.

Yeah I will make sure thats fixed before I have these made.

These will be brandnew ones, fresh of the assembly line when you recive them.

So all will be correct with them.

I don't know if i like the white gauge face over the AC controls in the daylight...seems kinda cheap to me.

It really does look good and not cheap.

A friend of mine has them and they look really nice.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the set, if you decide to be a part of this group buy.

Count me in for the SVT indiglos. I want the entire set.. But are they easy to install? How long will it take for delivery?

Who do I contact for a set of indiglo gauges and hvac fo a svt? I am very interested and have paypal. Also I think it may have been asked before, but when will they be in?

So I know I'm forgeting something so if you have any questions feel free to pm me or just shout it out here.

Oh and here is the list for the people that just want hvac. These will be $27.00 plus $8.00 for shipping after we get 25 of the combos ordered.

Put your name and address on paper with the check or money order and send it to me, oh please put your CEG member name on the paper too.

I am sorry for the price mixup and hope I don't lose anyone because of it. These are a high quality product that I'm sure you well be happy with, remember these are the exact same ones bnoon was selling. Thats about it for now.

if they tell u they'll fix the misspellings, any chance to order just the white small overlays. if your ordering from the same company as cardoc, they didn't fix them last time. they've got the templates already made. they just now make them as orders come in.

So when are we supposed to send some Ends your way?

Well I still need two more people, which I think I have, so anytime you want to send it would be great, the sooner I get all the money in, the sooner these get made.

I should have the last two people by the end of this week.

Repost just had to change the list and add more info at the bottom.

k everyone I have a little bad news. I was misqouted on the price of the gauges and hvac combo deal. The price is going to be $72.00 plus $8.00 shipping, thats for the indiglo gauge faces with the HVAC indiglo. The price is set and will not change again. If it does I will pay for the difference out of my own pocket. Thats my promise to you. Oh btw this is the same price Bnoon was selling them for, just so you know.

Ok now the bad news is out of the way time for the goodnews. Ok everyone who wants to start sending money can send it to my paypal account which is apluckydog@yahoo.com . All we need is 1 more person to buy the combo package and we can order extra hvac's. This includes any combo of SVT and V6 gauges. So now we can get it done sooner and get the SVT people in on it too.

Ok here is the list we have so far.

Regular gauges..................SVT gauges
1)1BADTOUR.....................1)Kappa2006
2)SinisTour29...................2)hetfield
3)Batmobile.....................3)JETNBYA

Ok here is the deal on the gauges that have been mispelled, this was fords fault, 99-00 contours and mystiques where all mispelled on the traction control.

It is spelled "traotion" on the guages you'll be getting, these were a freebee because of this mistake, you are getting them free too, your just paying for the gauges and hvac.

It would cost alot of money to have new templates made,like hundreds.

So remember your getting these for free you have the option of putting them on or using your old ones, personally I'll be putting them all on because it looks good and I'm not going to let a mispelling keep me from putting them all on.

Ok onto the next subject, the reverse indiglo gauges and hvac cannot be done.

They look just like the factory gauges and would not be worth the money that these would cost to make and buy.

Well thats all for now, I'll be posting better pics of the gauges here in a few minutes.

Here is the pics I promised.

Ok here is what it looks like installed in the cluster.

Here is a pic of the hvac durning the day.

Ok here is a couple of pics of it all lit up and looking good.

Well there you have it.

Come on just one more person.

We can do this.

ok since they cant do reverse indies, put me down for just the hvacs. thanx

Who has all paid? I could send my money in soon but would prefer arbout 2 weeks. I just dont want to hold this Group Buy up by any means. So can we get a list of who paid?

Aight put me down... When do you need the money by?

Email me... Rickmanfre@comcast.net

Ill get the money to you ASAP...

Those gauges look cool. Mine will look the same, except you'll see a Check Engine Light come on randomly as I drive. Now we just need a group buy for an O2 sensor.

Doh!!! No actually they charge like 3.0% of whatever money comes in.

So it would be like 10 cents off of that. Which I can handle.

Paypal is a buncha dicks!

Request the money from me and Ill send approve it later tonight when I get home.

rickmanfre@comcast.net

Im forgetful and it took me a few days to send the initial payment...

I also noticed the gauges have the check engine light on the right side... I have it on the left side... Is that just because theyre SVT gauges? I hope so. My check engine lights on ALL the time so I know where it is lol... Just figured Id ask. If not then at least I wont have to see that annoying ass check engine light... Itll say Traction Control or something... Sound better hahahah!

Sent request.

Yes the check engine light is on the wrong side.

You'll be seeing the O/D light coming on all the time.

Why is your check engine light on all the time?

FYI you don't have to use the white strips on the bottom. I didn't for the reason of nothing was in the same location on mine either and traction was spelled wrong on traction control. Although I did use the turn signals and the other 2 upper white pieces because those were all in the same location as my stock idiot lights.

This is on my 97 zetec just so ya know. If ya want to see ya'll can click the link and see the pic of the look w/ the stock lower gauge overlays and the rest of the indiglo stuff. Clicky!! It's a large pic, so I just linked it instead...

That's what I'm thinkin'. On the SVT, the temp, tach, speedo, and gas gauges are white and the rest are regular black. I'll probably do the same with the indiglos and only put in the "big four".

I dont know why its on all the time. My mechanic couldnt figure it out either. Its just always on. Sometimes it turns off. I get happy. But then next time I start my car its on again. Always in the bottom left blinding me.

I have silver reverse indies in right now. I may just keep them. Odds are Ill just throw my old ones back in. Maybe even see if I can rewire it somehow (by seeing if I can I mean have one of my more electrically advanced friends) reverse the lights and everything around.

Worse comes to worse Ill just slap my originals back in and use them to make it look hot...

Ok Badtour, I paid my $2.75 at lunch today.

hey 1badtour i know i asked you before to ask your contact if they would be willing to make reverse indy hvac but you said they would not cuz it would look too stock. well could you ask again cuz there is a obvious need/wanting for these. i had to drop out of your gp b-cuz of my $$$ situation but i'd be willing to be someones crack hoe to get the reverse hvacs.

we could even make a list of who wants them and you can then pass it on to your contact and then they can decide if it would be a waste of time/money. since they are going to make the indiglos for you, they are going to have the templates already anyway and it shouldn't cost them that much more to develope revs. hvacs.

Yes you can get in on this, just send a PM my way to let me know what you want.

Ok here is the deal on the gauges that have been mispelled, this was fords fault, 99-00 contours and mystiques where all mispelled on the traction control. It is spelled "traotion" on the guages you'll be getting, these were a freebee because of this mistake, you are getting them free too, your just paying for the gauges and hvac. It would cost alot of money to have new templates made,like hundreds.
So remember your getting these for free you have the option of putting them on or using your old ones, personally I'll be putting them all on because it looks good and I'm not going to let a mispelling keep me from putting them all on.

So I belive that answers all your questions.

If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me.

Need about 9 more to send payment in I think.

I can't wait either.

I'm ready for these gauges too......

I'm not getting my hopes up and think that I won't be putting mine in untill my cars parked for winter in October/November.

Alright I sent my extra 2.75.....come on folks cough up the cash......I don't want to be doing this stuff in the cold.

I barely ever visit the group buy forums because I know I will end up always buying something. Is it too late to get in on this gb? If not, will the indiglo hvac work in a mystique?? Another question I have is, if I wanted to make my headlight switch with blue lights instead of green, I really dont need anybody to do it for me, do I? I can just replace the green bulbs with blue leds, correct?

If you have the odometer trip reset switch on the left side of your gauge cluster, these gauges will not work unless you get a gauge cluster that has that switch on the right. In other words, they don't work on my 95 Mystique

That would suck for some.. Is this only on certain Contours and Mystiques?

I think mines on the right, Ill check it out tomorrow. the 95's are the oddballs out of the pre98s for some reason. I think the 95 have cable driven speedometers vs. the sensors on the post 95.

I was told that the gauges and hvac will work with mystiques that are made after 95, So just let me know if you want in, and if you want the gauges and hvac.

I'm not sure on the headlight switch and leds, I just took mine apart, scraped the green off and painted it with red transparent paint.

It looks really good.

Well I guess that answers your questions.

If you have anymore feel free to PM me.

Thanks alot, I have one more question.

PM sent.

i searched but couldn't find it...anyways...i remember hearing guys talk about painting their needles on the speedometer/tachometer etc. what effect did this produce? should i do it if i'm gonna have them off anyways? what paint did you use? before/after pix?

why am i so far down the list? i was #4 a few lists ago?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That list is nto teh shipping order. I believe its the list of how we signed up the first time around.

Thanks for the correction.

I WAS 2nd on your shipping list since I was 2nd to pay you. So could you please reflect this on your list order? I just want to clarify this in case there is some type of crazy production issue (I realize not super likely), where they can only produce a few at a time, then I need to make sure I get mine in the batch according to the proper order that I paid.
Thanks,
Josch

I'm in for just the SVT gauges and no HVAC. My car is a mystique with an SVT cluster, so the HVAC would not fit.

i want the HVAC indglows

Yeah all is good,

just been really busy and haven't had time to post much, or get on aim.

I will be updating the list this weekend.

I have one that is going to drop out of the group buy, but I'm adding another one that paid, in the empty spot.

So hang in everybody, just waiting for people to finish paying up.

I'm pretty new to the site, and just noticed this GB. Can i still get in?

wellllI paid...but the rate things are going I might have a HVAC for sale....my car might get totalled....

Might get totaled?

Really!!

Sorry for the late notice, can I add in? I have money ready to go.

Heh, I was hoping that this group buy wouldn't take too long, but now I'm glad that it is! I'm in the market to buy a CSVT and I'm talking with a dealer this week about one. I might have to change my gauge order from V6 gauge only to SVT gauge + hvac..

I'll let you know if I need to, bad

yep...been in da shop since July 8th.

I might be in on this, depending on how much it costs at this point (it's my dad's car, not mine) but if it is reasonable compared to the price of regular indiglo gauge faces, I will do it. what other methods of payment are there besides paypal?

And one more thing, are you saying that in order to get SVT gauge faces, you need to get hvac as well? because all I want is SVT gauge faces that glow, to replace the normal white SVT ones we already have

I actually think it's better that we do let more people in on this, because the more people we let in on this the better chance we have of meeting the minimum number of orders needed to process the GB.

Once that minimum is met, I have no dillusions that BADTOUR is simply going to give everyone who hasn't paid a nice, friendly "last chance" notice and then drop them from the GB.

Think about it. It's good for us.

I actually think it's better that we do let more people in on this, because the more people we let in on this the better chance we have of meeting the minimum number of orders needed to process the GB.

Once that minimum is met, I have no dillusions that BADTOUR is simply going to give everyone who hasn't paid a nice, friendly "last chance" notice and then drop them from the GB.

Think about it. It's good for us.

Tim

Good point tim, I will leave the group buy open untill I have 25 people paid.

I'm waiting on a few people to send payment and as soon as I get 25 people paid I will put the order in to my supplier, it will take about 2 weeks to get them made and about a week after that to mail them all out.

I will be closing the group buy as soon as I have 25 paid orders, I will give everyone a "last chance" and then send the order in, which will all fall on the same day.

Thats about all for now.

just keeping it at the top...

I will pay for the gauges on Oct 1 for sure. I might be able to pay for it earlier. Definite on Oct 1.

Damn.

DAMN YOU!

When are they going to be ordered? The decision on my cars fate will be made by fri the 19th....possibly totalled...

so far I am 2 for 2 as far as totalling SVT's

They fit my gl 97? if they do sign me up when is due date to pay?

If people are going to come into the GB now, that is cool , but they better pay now. IMHO Because this will continue to be strechted and as it is people are saying Oct 1st and I mean it does get cold in MI and this is not a fun install in cold weather.

I mean the only reason I waited one week to pay was because I wanted it on next months bill. JMO

I second that.......it's been two months, and it's only 80 bucks. I really didn't want to be doing this in 30 degree weather.

Do they fit or not?? If your entering the GB you are commiting to pay and not to delay everyone else, I'm not that kind of person if they'll fit, i'll buy them if they wont I WONT.. thats it

AND THIS REPLY IS FOR THE GB HEAD OF THIS POST.. IVE HAD A HARD WEEK THANKS

If you have a tachometer, and the trip reset button is under the 130 on your speedometer, then they will fit. Otherwise, no.

Ok, I just did some research and found that you have a monster tach installed, which probably means there is no factory tach in the cluster. If this is the case, some indiglo faces are probably available on ebay for the tachless-cluster cars.
EDIT: Yep, I was right.

I no longer need the HVAC.....its totalled...

Guys, it really doesn't matter if we let more people in on this GB. Believe me, more is good. If we don't get to 25 people, the GB will never go anywhere. Just so long as the people going in on this understand that the second we get to 25 people paid in full on the main gauge orders, they'll only have a very short period of time (a matter of days) to get their money in or just be out of luck.

The GB is not being "stretched" anywhere. Think about this logically.

Tim

People, geez, if you all want the freaking gauges faster than this, start *(*&^&ing at the remainder of the 25 people that haven't gotten their payment in. They are the hold up on all of this...

I don't need it anymore....don't own the car now......can I have my money back

Got a black interior?

Your right! ! I have a monster tach installed that was the reason for my question if it could fit my tour, guess not thanks anyways

Can we get an updated list so i can know if you've recieved my payment.

I concure!

Hey guys, i'm sorry but i'm going to have to back out of this because college is costing me more than i thought, Sorry for the inconvience!

Ok, then... where do we stand on this? I'm trying not to get impatient, especially since I won't be installing the guages for a while, but it would be nice to get them soon. The last update was a week ago, has anyone else paid since then?

Well due to the length of time for these gauges I'm dropping out of this group buy. I'd like to get a refund or returned check thank you.

This is ridiculous!!

Shifty GT40
Batmobile NOW OUT
Micah
Contour_LXsport
Vermeleon69

skat
Kappa2006
dubkatz
ABeeSVT
Zamudio
Kontofosho

Because of these people we can not move foward. Why dont you check and see how much 17 sets would cost I know I would pay a few more dollars to get them. Those names above will never pay and the ones who have paid are getting impatient. I really doubt we are going to gain new people most likely we are going to lose more and more.

Kontofosho has paid! But where is 1badtour!!?

10 days without a post from him is really bad, and people are dropping out because of this. I am assuming that some people have completely lost confidence in this GB...I'm really agitated by all this!!!

1badtour is probley as aggravated as every one else in this group buy. He is not making any money on it he wants them just like the rest of us. And even if Kontofosho has paid we lost johnnyfive. So no foward progress.

Just to let everyone know I'm still alive.

I have had some issues at home and had to work them out, this is why I have not been able to update or even get online.

I'm really sad to see people ditching out on this group buy, I will contact my supplier and see if I can get the go ahead with the poeple we have now. If my supplier says no, I will leave the group buy open untill october the 25th to see if we can get those last people to pay and if not I will start refunding peoples money and the group buy will not happen.

Once again I'm sorry I haven't been online more, I hope you all understand.

I really hope this group buy happens because I really want those gauges.

Well thats about all for now.

I still need some sort of confirmation you recieved my payment.

Wow, I missed a lot. I have been unable to check up on this order and was still interested in buying the gauges and hvac. I will send money when I now the group buy will go through. Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,

COME ON GUYS. I WANT THIS TO GET OVER WITH! WHAT WE NEED LIKE 8 MORE?

<- if group buy dosnt go through ->

if this dosnt go through... im gona find the sharpest trout...->

Anything new on this here group buy? Sounds like everyone just'up and disapeard. How much longer till they are made? I was just curious to know when I might recieve my gauge/hvac.... just for my own amusement. Thanks!

I think he only needed payment from like 3 other people to get going on this, which shouldn't be too hard to wait for. This Group Buy aint goin anywhere. I would worry guys, just give it another couple weeks or so and I'm sure we'll get the last couple guys to finish paying. A lot of the guys who needed to pay would've paid with one of their nuts if that would have been an acceptable form of payment, but since not, then we just got to wait til they scrounge up enough dineros. So please be patient guys

I know I am. After waiting for Micah's pre-'98 bumpers, I'm patient enough to wait forever for anything. But I know it'll come one of these days

Come on guys. Looks like I'll have them on my car for next summer!

I'm sending the money on monday. One question I just ordered a new MPH readout for my sport cluster. Fordpartsonline.com asked his mechanic and comfirmed that a SVT MPH would fit right in and work. I ordered the SVT mph well now the SVT is white. Will it work with the hvac kit?

Yes, but you need the SVT indiglo's!

Thanks just wanted to make sure.

We only need 2 more? That's really, really close!

Hey don't worry guys, if worst comes to worst then we could all (each of us who HAS paid) can pitch in a few bucks each and buy the last 2 sets as a group, just so we can get these things started into the manufacturing process. Then we can sell them with a little markup (for some profit for our trouble) to the last 2 guys who waited to pay til so late?

Ok, it was just an idea.

I'll throw down 2 extra bills at this point!

I am in with Josch. I can lay down a extra bit. Tell me when and where to send it.

Does anyone have extra money to buy the last 2 sets? I bet you could sell them on the classifieds eventually. If I had an extra 80 bucks I would buy another set. I'm a poor college student though so thats not going to happen.

I took care of the payment personally, let me know if you recieved it this time.

Originally posted by {Kontofosho}:

Ok before everyone gets excited we still need 3 people to send payment for the combo set, before we can go forward with this group buy.

We have one on the way and I'm going to get the other two really soon.

If it comes down to just one I will buy the extra one and sale it later.

I thought I would make sure everyone understood that we still need 25 combo orders paid for before I can get these made. The hvac onlys are just extras and do not count towards the 25 combos needed.

This is why I have two different list listed below.

So hang in everyone we are almost there, we see the top of the mountain right now, we just have to reach it now.

Ok so far we have 24 people who have paid, I'm the first.LOL

So if you've added 2 more to the 'paid' list then does that mean you will go ahead and place the order? Or I take it you must wait til everyone finishes paying so they can also have the oppourtunity to get their sets too? Maybe you should adopt a reasonable cutoff date just for those people who think they can wait for like a year holding up everyone so they can get theirs? I think a reasonable cutoff date would be like MAXIMUM Halloween or something? Tops. Maybe sooner? Does that seem reasonable?

Oh, you must have JUST posted right now 1BADTOUR because I didn't see your last post just now as I was writing mine. You just answered a lot of Q's in your last post. Forget my post then. I'm in sync with you now

Adam,

I will help this out by changing my order to from "HVAC" to full "SVT Guage Set"

I will send you the difference through Paypal...Do I need to pay the Paypal fee again

If not then the difference should be $42.25 correct? I have paid $37.75 for the HVAC.

Let me know and I will send payment today

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

That would be great man.

Yeah you'll have to pay the paypal fee again though.

Just send me $45.00 via paypal and you'll be all squared away.

This is great, I can almost smell the gauges.LOL

This is for the gauges and hvac, SVT or V6
Which will be $72.00 plus $8.00 shipping.

Ok these will take 2 weeks to get these made and shipped out after we get everyones money in, so lets get rolling on this.

Oh and here is the list for the people that just want hvac. These will be $27.00 plus $8.00 for shipping.

1)DomesticAssault ?
2)MapOfTaziFoSho Paid
3)huey3211 ?

For those who need to send a check or money order you can send it to:
Adam Prewett
211 Church Dr.
Tecumseh,OK
74873

Put your name and address on paper with the check or money order and send it to me, oh please put your CEG member name on the paper too.

Ok before everyone gets excited we still need 2 people to send payment for the combo set, before we can go forward with this group buy.

We have one on the way and I'm going to get the other one really soon.

If it comes down to just one I will buy the extra one and sale it later.

I thought I would make sure everyone understood that we still need 25 combo orders paid for before I can get these made. The hvac onlys are just extras and do not count towards the 25 combos needed.

This is why I have two different list listed below.

So hang in everyone we are almost there, we see the top of the mountain right now, we just have to reach it now.

Ok so far we have 24 people who have paid, I'm the first.LOL

I didn't know I didn't count...

I can smell my gauges, but they won't do me any good with my stock 95 gauge cluster

Tim

PM'd 1badtour and I'll pay this week as promised.

Why? Did you order the SVT indiglo set? If so, you might want to reconsider, because I don't think you can put SVT instrument cluster in your '95. You see, '95 had a cable operated speedometer, but I guess newer models had electronic servo operated speedo that adjusts based on the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) via PCM system. I also thought I may have read somewhere in here that somebody even tried an SVT cluster in a '96 or something that DID even have elect speedo an all, but still didn't work right, like the tach was way off caliberation and gauges didn't work or something. I can't confirm this last deal, but I know my first statement is correct. If I'm totally making a mal assumption then disregard this whole post. I was just looking out for fellow CEG'ers who may be wanting to try things that may not be possible.

I have a 1995 Mystique LS V6, which means my trip reset is on the left side of the tach and not the right. These gauges are designed for ones that have the trip reset on the right. I would have to get the gauge cluster out of a later model Mystique/Contour.

i dont think you would... why not just use a hole punch on the one side?

That's what I may end up doing if BADTOUR can't find me a gauge cluster

I just didn't want my gauges to have this ghetto hole when lit up.

Tim

My trip reset is on the right side, AND has the cable type speedometer, so maybe you just need to get an instrument cluster for a '95 CONTOUR? Because anything later model than that will have electronic speedo servo controling the needle, and your 95 won't be able to control it.

Yea, sounds good. Thanks for the info. But honestly I can't be arsed to fumble around a junk yard, looking for one. More than likely I'll end up hole punching the trip reset area.

I wish I had thought of something like that. Imagine that, an online junk yard

Well, cheapest one I could find that didn't have a "Call for price" tag on it was $75

The hole punch is sounding more promising all the time. I'll keep looking around that site and when I get a few minutes I'll call up and see if I can haggle them down

Thanks,
Tim

hole punch the one side... then with some tape... tape the punched piece to the inside of the other side.... it may just work or... you could make that hole some sort of design.... take a piece of hard paper and paint it the color of your car ...put it behind gauge ...problem solved...

be creative... a little ford emblem.... print one out (small) cut that hole to fit it.... then put it behind the gauge overlay

Well if i read correctly we now have all 25 or should here soon. It is almost unreal me might actually have these befor cold weather.

I have to go to the bank on Tue and send in my money.

Punch a hole and the phosphor starts to oxidize. Completely ruining the gauges very slowly from that hole punch. Just remove the trip-o stick altogether.

Woo-hoo! /me does a happy dance

This was mentioned before but nobody replied! How hard are these to install and do you need any special tools, like to remove the needles? They are just an overlay that go over the existing gauge faces? What about bulb replacements or wiring, any of that involved in the install?
If somebody can provide some instructions or a step by step install, I'd feel more confident about doing this.

Not to be a prick or jerk or anything......but do group buys usually run this long, or is this an exception?

It really depends. The body kit group buy has been running much longer, but that's to be expected since it was starting from scratch. 25 people is a lot for a group buy, especially something like gauges, so that has caused a lot of the delays.

Every group buy has people that say "I'm in!" only to never send payment or back out at the last minute. The more people required for the buy to happen, the more of these there are.

Not usually, but some do, The OBX GB took a while, the kaotic will never end. Eh, its not too bad.

I don't know if I'm more excited about getting these Indiglow's or my interior neons!!!
Either way WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that recently dumped my g/f I am free to buy car parts once again and hook my car up. WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!

It may take a while to get all the buyers or sometimes to get the product finished but it is well worth having a truly customized car. You won't see any other contours running around like yours because a lot of the parts are not mass produced.

I would also like to know how hard this is going to be to install. I usually spend a lot of money on these kinds of things but never put them in cause I do not know how to. Send me a pm with the info too badtour. Glad to see the group buy will actually go through, I hope these gauges are impressive!

wow....i just started coming to this site a few weeks ago and just today saw this group buy. i dont really feel like filing through 32 pages of stuff, so if someone could answer these questions, i would appreciate it:
Will these fit my 1995 Contour GL?
Can we order just the HVAC?
Do the HVAC only come in white/glowing all blue/green?
Can we order the HVAC with reverse glow? (just the words light up...not the whole face)
Is it possible to have these silver during the day and then glow blue at night?

lots of questions i know, but i already have reverse glow silver face guages for my contour...and want these to match up well.

Any news?

Anyone wanting to buy my spot, please PM me, as I have sold my SVT. I will make you a deal, provided you are not on the list as of now.

I;m never doing a GB again, because people drop out because thy've sold their cars before its all said and done. I'm gettin impatient!

Except, if you could read, I already paid for mine, and therefore am helping the Group Buy. Some people amaze me for the way they can't see what is written right in front of them. And where, on the list of Paid are you? I don't even see you name.

Jim

Yeah, he paid for just HVAC. So YOU too, didn't read what was right in front of you, so you made the same tiny simple little mistake as he did as well, so please just forgive him for overlooking the fact you did pay, ok?

Don't worry guys, we'll all get our stuff here sooner than you know. 10 years from now you wont think this was a long time to wait

The time has come! It is the 25th! So considering that I am close to the bottom of the list, how long might it take for my indiglo gauges and hvac to arrive? I am just so darn curious. Thanks. -Adam

Todays the last day!!!!! I just got interested in these gauges way later than anyone, I guess. Anyway, I am sending money today thru PayPal. I'll put all my info in the comment section. CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Thanks. I know I'm probably last on the list but at least I'm on it. Please let us know if there are any problems.

I just posted for the gauges. It might help to tell you I want the full set for my 2000 SVT. Thanks again.

Oh and this is also going to be the order the gauges are shipped out, whoever is on the list first, gets there gauges first.

Ok, the end of the group buy will be October 25th.

If you don't have your money sent in by then you will not get any gauges from this group buy.

This goes for all those listed and any new ones that want to get in on this group buy.

I will be sending final notices out this week to give those listed with a check mark or a pm by there name a chance to send payment.

Once again all payments due October 25th this will be the cut of date, so everyone will get there gauges before x-mas.

Should be before december.

Once again, if anyone has missed out on this opportunity, I have sold my car and am willing to sell my already paid for position in this group buy at a discount.

I'm not backing out but I do have a question. One of the early pictures of the new units shows them with an SVT speedometer going to 130 MPH. Another one on another page has it with an SVT speedometer going to 160 MPH. My SVT speedometer goes to 130 MPH. Am I safe to assume I'll have no troubles? While I'm asking questions, will the speedometer and the tach have to be recalibrated? Thanks.

if you're speedometer only goes to 130 MPH then it would be my guess that the car isn't an SVT, but a regular ol' contour

Disregard previous message, I had an attack of the stupids

. My speedo goes to 160.

1BADTOUR-

I sent you a check for $80 via certified priority mail on Friday the 24th. If this was too late to get you the money or put the order in, please let me know right away.

Thanks

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

I was starting to give up hope on this... I havent been on lately cause of issues with my stupid ass car. Burnt out a 2nd alternator (within a month of replacing the original) as well as a wire that leads to a junction box of some sort. I dont remember what my mechanic said.

Good thing is I got my check engine light off and my car fixed for good. No I just gotta figure out where the hell the leak in my underbody deflector is. Hit a huge puddle of water and I lose power steering.

Im starting to get aggrivated. But alas Im keeping it and gonna work it up for the next few years. Still need to color match the door though.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR PUTTING YOUR PAYMENTS IN!!!!!!!!

When do you think youll have the 4th set by? Let alone the first? Just wondering what the time frame might be on when you get yours so Ill know when to expect mine roughly. Heh Im 4th on the list. Thank god for small things.

Manfre - i just noticed that you're signature isn't censored!!

Hmmmmmm, that's funny

spell-check must not work in there?

Should it be edited or something?

Ive had it since I joined a while back. Within the last year at least.

It's because by design, if you [censored] swear on this [censored] forum, then the forum software should just replace your [censored] swear word with the word 'censored' , but I guess this feature doesn't work in the sig it looks like

Maybe its cause its a signature?

It's because Infopop didn't code the swear-word filter function to include parsing signatures as well as posts.

So, will these start shipping out around the 8th as planned?

What is HVAC?

Originally posted by MapOfTaziFoSho:

Yeah, I know. But if things are going as they should, I assume these are shipping out around the 8th? That's two weeks after Oct 25th when people had their last chance to get payment in, and also after we had enough paid buyers.

My Understanding was the order was just placed yesterday on 11/3.

Don't really matter to me my car's parked. I still would like to see the quality of the gauges soon though.

parked near msu? My friend called me the other day all excited saying he saw a crazy green svt.

Looks like you have some competition then player.

I wonder whats going on with these, when should we expect the first few people to get their gauges.

Yeah, me too, did you take off on a vacation man? You haven't posted whether or not these have even been ordered yet. When can we expect these to be produced and shipped?

bump

Well????????????????????

Hmmmmm......just going to assume the guy is busy. At least I hope.

he is he is very buisy to let you know for a fact he is trustworthy and i wouldnt want anyone else running a gb except for this guy he gets 5 stars in my book

People are just talking, i dont think anybody really doubts him. Theres really nothing to update us about as long as the order has been placed, so i guess we have to sit tight.

I feel the same way, but this was started back in July and has taken this long, so I guess a few more days isn't out of the question. It would be smart for 1BADTOUR to keep us posted though. I am also not doubting, but I'm in sales and one of the most important things you can do is to keep your customers aware of what's going on. With the last post on 11/02, it's time for more news.

Yes, thats right everyone, the order has been placed and I'm just waiting to get word from them on when they are done.

Sorry I didn't post sooner and let everyone know what was going on, but I have been really busy.

So there is your offical update from me.

Anyone want mine?? SVT gauges and HVAC? Let me know, I no longer have my car, so when I get mine they are for sale.

Jim

Looks like I am a few weeks too late to order.

Great.

Well if you have a SVT you can buy JETNBYA's spot from him.

Adam, any idea when these are supposed to be complete?

What did I buy again ?

Oh yea, gauges..

Tim

JETNBYA How much for your gauges?

Wish we had some updates. Anyone know whats going on?

Originally posted by ABeeSVT:

Only thing that we have been told is that they have been ordered.

hmmmmm

Well it has been... how long? I just want to be updated. I do not know what to think about this group buy.

Like I said before, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers or point any fingers but this is getting a little frustrating.

Not that we need to be updated everyday, but maybe a quick note once a week or at the close of the business week would be nice......just so people know what's going on with things.

Originally posted by ContourRacer77:

I paid $80.00. You can have them for $70.00. Maybe badtour can get them shipped to you direct, if we can come to terms.

Jim

Originally posted by alibies:

Well, that post was on the 11th, exactly two weeks ago. I can only assume the order was placed before that date. So our guages should be getting mailed out today, right?

This is getting annoying!

Adam you need to give us a more specific update here. The date the order was placed, and the anticipated shipping date.

He says he is so busy, maybe somebody should call Cardoc themselves and check on the status?

Whoa! Week with no posts and now 5 posts... at least it is nice to know everyone is still here. I have faith that we will eventually get them... just I need to satisfy my curiosity. Good point... it has been 2 weeks since the order was placed... so they should get shipped out this week right? Hmmm....

True, but the order was supposed to be placed on October 25th, which puts that two week mark - well, two weeks ago.

i have faith in 1badtour the order was placed but they didnt start to print them or cut them or anyof that stuff for like a week after they were made ... something like that... all i know is he made the order then he was suppost to get a call about them... have faith... adam is trustworthy... this gb has been on for a loong time, but that long time will pay off... *promises yall* give him time to respond ill make sure to send him this way...

-b-rad

Keep in mind guys that 90% of the time we waited in this GB was due to people backing out or getting their payment in late to begin with. It's not Adam you should blame, it's the usual GB deadbeats that don't come through, the company being stupid, etc. It's just the facts of life when it comes to getting custom things like this done..

Tim

Ok big update.

Good news, look what the UPS man brought me yesterday.

I got all of the gauges, but they really messed up half the order so I called them up, yelled, and got them to start working on fixing the rest of the gauges immediately.

So I have ten without HVAC's that can be shipped out if ya'll want to hook up just the gauges and wait untill the HVAC's come in. If ya'll just want to wait for the complete order that will be fine too.

Ok now the bad news is, it will take 2 months to get the rest of the gauges.

I'd just refund the money to you guys who have to wait 2 months, but they already have it.

I'm truly sorry about this mess, but half the gauges were all messed up.

Because of this I will go ahead and ship out the ones I have if you want, there a no HVAC's, they messed up on the print and it looked like crap.

They will be making new HVAC's and everyone that ordered one will get a HVAC when the rest of the order comes in.

I'll give the 11th person on the list my gauges if ya'll want to go ahead and just get part of your order.

Once again I'm sorry about how this group buy is going, but my hands are tied.

Please hang in there and know that I'm not trying to screw anybody out of there money.:( I will post only when I have heard something from them or when I get the gauges which ever comes first. There really is no reason to update when there is nothing to update, unless ya'll want to hear I haven't heard anything every week. I'm not meaning to sound rude but I'm just trying to help people understand.

Also on a personal note the reason I haven't updated is because I have been working from 4pm to 4am everyday the last week.

I just want everyone in this group buy to know that I have a job to hold down and if I can't find time to update about nothing, then it would be nice for some people to not get on here and drag my name through the mud. So I guess I'm just asking some people to be patient, you will get your gauges.

Thanks and if you need anything PM me.

Adam,

Thanks for the update...I am fine with waiting for my gauges. I'd rather have a quality product and wait then not have them at all

Thanks,
Scott

You can go ahead and ship mine. i can wait for the HVAC. It will make it look like i'm slwoly upgrading to have the guages the nthe couple months later the Hvac

Adam-

Thanks for everything you are doing to make this GB work. It's obviously a big headache for you, and there's no real benefit to you for putting everything together. So I'd like to say thanks.

On another note: I know that I am at the bottom of the list, which means I would be one of the last people to get the gauges. However, if you have the gauges for me, but not the HVAC, go ahead and ship them out and I'll wait for the HVAC.

That, and I can wait until whenever. I'm putting the SVT in storage next week, so I'm not planning on ripping out the instrument cluster anytime soon.

i can wait on the hvac ... but wont this kick ya in the nuts on shipping if you send 2 different packages?

If the gauges you have now are fine Ill gladly take them. Im 5th (I believe) on the list so does that mean that Ill have good looking HVAC and Gauges? If so thats awesome. If not I can wait a lil longer on the HVAC. Id prefer them both at the same time if possible.

Im getting kinda antsy cause I really think these will look nice with my interior neons and the color scheme I wanna set up in my car.

If its a hassle for both then Ill wait till everythings all set.

Thank you

Originally posted by alibies:

Yeah I have decided that it will cost me way to much money to ship the gauges then the HVAC later.

So on that note I'm going to offer to ship the gauges out to people that want them without the HVAC's but it will be extra shipping charge to send the HVAC's out after that. I will have to find out how much sometime at the end of this week. So I thought I would let people know.

So its up to the first ten people if you want it all together with no extra shipping charge or the gauges without HVAC with an additional shipping charge to send the HVAC after that.

I guess thats it for now, if you have question please feel free to PM me.

My cars parked so I dont give a [censored]. I will wait the next 2 months. I was looking foward to seeing them but o well. Whatever man. Thanks for setting thing up.

Well...I've been waiting for my HVAC's forever...so I can wait another 2 months...bah.

Great to see those gauges. Thats the update I wanted! A couple months? Ah well what are you gonna do. Those pictures are enough to hold me for another couple months. Install your gauges Adam, then tell us if it is really a pain in the @$$.. I wanna know what I am going up against here.

Hey 1BADTOUR,

That is so cool to hear this update!
You can go ahead and ship my gauges to me now since I'm in the first 10 list, and then the HVAC later, when they eventually are done.
Just let me know how much money I need to PayPal to you, and it'll be there super quick-like.

Again, thanks for all your help in customizing my Contour!

Let me know how much
Thanks,
Josch

I'm not in the top ten so I'll just wait for both the gauges and the HVAC when they come together. AND: I also wanna know what I'm up against so how bout taking pictures along the way and posting a how-to? That's something I bet we all would appreciate! Also thanks for putting this together and watching out for our best interests by not sending out screwed up units. A little extra waiting for quality where my car is concerned is not a problem.

Thanks for the updated 1BAD, sorry to hear that it has become such a big PITA for something that could have been done right the first time. Hopefully they offered you something for the inconvience at least.

Thanks again for all of your time and effort you are putting forth, sounds like it has become quite a nightmare (and with that said I guess I will just sit tight for my HVACs).

Were any of the SVT sets good? All I ordered was the SVT gauges and no HVAC. Oh, and how were the others messed?

Sorry your post wasnt entiredly clear, did they screw up half the hvacs and none of the regulars, or did they never ship half of the regulars and messed up all of the hvacs. Just a little confused.

Because I despise how the non-SVT gauges have markings for every 10mph. Looks way too Fisher Price�?� in my opinion.

I can wait till you have the HAVC no prob and thanx for the GB again.

Lets just chat this thread up and make it bigger than any kaotic could pull off...

Just post more pictures... from every angle. haha Maybe a closer up picture... let us read the packaging. That should help with the longer posts. Ummm and ya... thanks for the gb. Are these kits going to be a real pain in the ass to install?

I'll send them out on next monday.

I need a final list of the people in the top ten that want to pay extra shipping later for the hvac's and want there gauges now.

Yes, I wanted to be on that list. Go ahead and send mine. How much money do you need? I'll send it super fast

I know that there was going to be a delay on the HVACs do you know for those people that orded both or just HVACs, around what time frame you will be getting them in.

At least that way people can make the determination if they want to spend extra on shipping or just hold off until the complete order comes in.

Any of the SVT sets good?

To whoever is heading up this GB: I have the SVT EL guages and HVAC but it doesn't look that good running off of one transformer. I was wondering if you might have 2 of the trasnformers with the control knobs or up/down switches that you would sell to me (I would use my current one to run the HVAC and then use the two to run the actual guages). Thanks for the hlep.

These gauges are going to look sweet

On the third month of group buy, my true love gave to me.....

Once upon a time... there was this group buy, that had excellent communication at first. And then it was once spoken that the first ten sets of indiglo gauges would get shipped right away (w/o HVAC) to those who wanted to pay extra (like me), but then something very strange had happened to that original good communication that we were once so spoiled with... and those gauges just never seemed to ever come. Maybe it's because the GB coordinator got a kick-butt job and since has had no time to ship them? But it still came to pass that he needed to tell his faithful servants (GB contributors) what is going on, and when they may possibly expect to get their new, cool gauges. His Majesty said that even a simple 5 minute post once in a blue moon would do fine. That's all we need to live happily ever after

Merry X-mas to all, and all a good morning! (on this beautiful x-mas eve morning)

PS- 1BADTour, Don't work too hard during this holiday season- Maybe allow some time to relax, spend some time with family, and possible possibly ship a few items?

Very good story, is it based on a true current events?

What gauges??

Well its time for an update of sorts

, I will be shipping the first three SE gauges without hvac to the following people tomorrow:

1)alibies
2)Josch
3)crusinmercury

Here is a pic of the gauges getting packed up tonight.

These three will ship tomorrow 12/26/03, I wasn't able to get the how-to to print out right, so I will post it on CEG on sunday which is my next day off.

It will be alot easier for me to do it that way then try to figure out whats wrong with my print program.

It will be a very detailed how-to with lots of pics.

So far the only ones who said for sure they want theres sent without the HVAC is the three above.

I'm sorry for the long delay on shipping but they will ship tomorrow.

To those peeps that wanted more pics of what the gauges look like in the package here they are.

Heres the pics of what comes in each box.

Heres a pic of what it looks like all laid out on my instrument cluster.

Well I guess thats about it for the update.

If you have any questions just post on here and I'll answer them when I can.

P.S. Someone asked if the SVT gauges made it, no they didn't it was just the 10 of the SE's that made it out right.

Adam, I only ordered the HVAC's, do I get the switch, and also how did you place your needles back on properly and make them align with the true speed and RPM's without issues? TIA

Yeah the HVAC's come with a switch too.

I set the rpms to where it should be at idle with the car running, The speed I set at zero and made sure it was properly calibrated with a gps that told me my speed, and everything is dead on now.

Now that Josch is all happy, what about the rest of us? Whats the time line on the SVT gauges w/HVAC?

What about me? If you dont have anymore of the HVACs to go round then Ill take without the HVAC. Id just prefer to have them both. Ill wait on the HVAC gauges.

And so the tail is told...

I got my indiglo set this beautiful snow covered New Year's Eve!!!

And WoW is all I can say. It was worth it to pay a few bucks more to get this part of the set now! These things look so cool, and will go nicely into my tour.

Thanks BadTour So do you want me to PayPal you the $6.70 as it sais on the shipping label (plus a couple bucks for PayPal fee), or do you want me to wait and pay for the shipping when the HVACs come out? Just let me know what you need and when, ok?

Can anyone guess what i got in the mail today?

I think somebody really needs to come down on elglow, I think it is ridiculous how terrible their customer service has been. This is starting to piss me off.

I have to agree. These people have over $2000 of our money. They said they could deliver what we wanted (with a minimum number of orders) way back in July. They should have been ready with the product as soon as they had our money. 1BADTOUR, I know it's not your fault, but you really need to try and get these a$$holes moving. They're screwing with us and they already have the cash!

Agreed...someone needs to be calling elglow and really getting on their case.

mine were broken when i got them and i had to fix them ( they are easily fixable ) 1badtour is checking them befor sending them out now

Man do I pick the slowest group buys!

Yea, Adam's the man. It's those ELGlow bastards' fault

By the amount of time we've been waiting to get our gauges, I could have gone down to the tar-pit, watched a dynosaur get trapped, die, turn into oil, took the oil and resened it into plastic, cut out 4 circles, jimmied up some 10mph speed ticks, and threw them into my car.

Oh well.. I can take consollation in the fact that my gauges were probably made from tricerotops or a T-Rex, and not any of those other wussy dynosaurs (like the Teradactyle). I hope my ashes some day make a good set of pillar-pods for the ape-men of our future (just like the movie, right ?)

Tim

I got my new gauge cluster ordered this week

Now I won't have to hole punch my gauges

Tim I will help you out buddy.

Just send me a pm and let me know what you need help with or catch me on aim.

Ok peeps, not to much to report on my end. I am still awaiting word on the status of the gauges and hope this doesn't end up another Kaotic group buy.

I hope you all understand that my hands are tied right now and hope to end this group buy by the end of this month.

I assure you I'm doing everything in my power to complete this group buy.

Thanks for being so understanding.

We appreciate it, Adam. FYI, I'm in the group buy as "Stevers".

Adam---thanks for the PM.

I appreciate it. Don't forget about a how-to. I'm sure there'd be alot thank you's if we had one to go by.

Or on page 38.

What about us SE guys? Do you still have any of the HVAC ones left? I will pay the extra shipping.

Anyone have the # for ELGlow, I'd like to call them myself and complain. I think we should all call and express our displeasure.

Yeah, I noticed my name was not on there, I paid you in the beg. of sept. and here it is the end of january and I remember you saying that we should all have our products by February. An update would be nice, along with a number for us to call!

Thanks in advance, and once again sorry, I didn't know paypal would do that.

Ok so far we have seven people who have paid, I'm the first.LOL

Go to page 36. Your name in on the list. 1BADTOUR told me this is the one that counts.

But why is it that my name isnt mentioned in this at all? And this is supposedly the one that counts? Whats the deal? I paid for these a while ago. I know a lot of others did too so Im not making a big stink about not getting my gauges yet cause not everyone has theirs. But I should at least be on the list.

I also sent ya a PM asking if I can have the gauges sent with the HVAC and if not to just send them without the HVAC and Ill wait till you get more of the HVAC in to send to everyone. I never got a response saying if that was alright or not.

Can I at least get an answer with what youre gonna do with me?

Yes... hmm... not to be one to complain, but I would really like to see my name on the list and get an approx. date of when these will be in my possesion.

They have our money and our gauges. Something isn't right.

I think that list above is for SVTs only, I'm sure Adam will clarify that, won't ya?

I guess I will wait for now, and keep my mouth closed and see what happens.

i talked to adam on the net a day or two ago and he said that he is suppost to hear something next week... (this week now) he is trustworthy, i have my guages and they are beautiful. all i need now is that darn hvac... adam is also making a how to on how to install these so its not like hes not buisy

Adam has my trust, EL glow has my impatience. Hopefully he hears something (positive) soon.

I'm tired of this b.s. I think you need to find out how many CEG'ers want their money back and call Elglow for a refund. This isnt Adams fault, it's Elglow's...however I don't feel Adam has been putting the pressure on Elglow to get this order filled. Elglow told us once we had the order placed it would be a few weeks...thats turned into months and we still have no clue as to when these gauges will be finished....

Elglow gives us a date and they deliver on that date or else I want out, I want a refund...

CALL ELGLOW AND DEMAND AN EXACT DATE ON THESE RIGHT AWAY..or I am out

That is the sh!t I am talking about!

...

if you want a refund... after waiting this long... when u could prolly get half the guages in the mail today seeing as half the order is already at adams house... but no one wanted them until they got the hvac too... i have my guages... do u think that elglow is going to give you your money back after at least 3-4 people have their guages?... theyd prolly say that since we bought them, that the sale of them as a group is final... u cant take my guages away!... i like them... they are beautiful... anyway... i dont think elglow has been responcible... except... they might just get mad if we demand our money back... if they say no... what are you gona do... sue them for ur 80 bucks back? :-( WAAAAAAAH! you never asked for an exact date before.... why now... u can be out but there is no way ur gona get ur money back... i just think that they wouldnt send it back...

i think that they dont take us serious because we're contour owners... and not honda owners... but if we dont make a market for our car no body else will.......

i shall end these ramblings now....

sorry...

and burntu2 i didnt mean to make u mad in anyway... ... im just sayin'

Word, if you arent able to put the proper pressure on elglow then you are not fit to run a gb. Somebody needs to take action on them.

Do you have some SE ones there right now? I will pay the extra shipping.

Yes I do.

The only thing you'll need to pay extra shipping on is your HVAC when I get them in.

To everyone else, I'm pushing these people as much as I can, they keep telling me they are working on filling the rest of the order and it will be the end of february before they get shipped.

I only ask for your understanding in this and I want you all to know I'm not going to let anyone in this group buy get screwed. I'm doing my best.

The end of February? That is not too bad. I mean as soon as I get them it'll probably take me a few months to install them due to my lack of experience and skill in the field. Adam, do you have yours installed yet? Is this going to be a real pain to install? I fear the worst. Thanks.

Yes I do have my gauges installed just waiting for the HVAC.They are super easy to install.

Don't worry you shouldn't have a problem if you can hook up a radio, you can hook up these gauges.

Can you PM me?

I'm full of crushing disappointment. Or am I?

I just finally decided to start taking my instrument cluster out to do the swap, and crap! I just noticed that it is NOT going to fit!
The RPM side looks good. But the speedo side of the old one on my car has the trip-o-meter cutout WAY TOO LOW, and the odometer cutout above the needle WAY TOO HIGH. Neither one of them even comes close to lining up. The new indiglo set has the cutouts at a much closer radius to the needle cutout than mine old one! So has anyone else experienced this or just me? Is this a late model/early model thing??

If I can't make these work then does anybody want mine?
Can the company who produced these make some that WILL fit my '95 SE V-6 car? I think I'm stuck with the speedo I got now since mine is cable ran, or maybe I could convert my speedo to electronic VSS powered speedo like later models got if that is the difference?

Anyone got ideas or feedback? OneBadTour, maybe you?

Thanks,
Josch

Dude I'm sorry to hear that, the only thing I could suggest is you switch over from a cable driven speedo to a electroinc driven one, I have done this in my 95 and it works perfect.

There are a bunch of gauge clusters for sale on ebay, other than that maybe a junkyard.

If you have anymore questions about that just PM me.

Skrilla.....PM sent.

What else do you have to do to hook up electronic speedo? Do you need the vehicle speed sensor off the newer car, or will the '95 VSS still work? What else was required to wire in the electronic one?

And what year instrument cluster am I shooting to get? '96 on up? Or are there only certain years to get? Could you please tell me all that I may need to know to help me avoid any possible pitfalls that may arise? I'm sure I could figure it out on my own since I am a Master Tech, but maybe you could save me the trouble of having to find out the tough way.

I assume in order to function, the later model electronic speedo needs a 5v ref for power, and a ground along with a VSS signal input, correct? Or was it more complex than that? How did it work with caliberation wise? Did you just wind up using the original VSS off the '95 or did you need to change that with later model as well?

Also, if I got a say, '98 instrument cluster, then could I just take out the actual speedo module and bolt it into my 95 instrument cluster? Or do I have to use the whole instrument cluster from the newer car. (Because I would wonder how the rest of the gauges and indicators would work with the 95 harness.

Anyways, thanks for all your help

shut your talk hole

ur gona have to sell them to someone who hasnt sold their car

Yeah, I think mine's gonna work great. I just ordered a cluster that has the correct fit, and I will adapt it in to work with the electronic speed sensor, even though my Contour originally had cable-op speedo. I have never had a mechanical challenge that I could not conquier.

your the man

So it's late February....what's going on here??

At this rate i'll have my Lotek pillar and Autometer C2 gauges before i get the indiglo gauge faces. Dont know exactly if thats a good thing or a bad thing.

oh well

From what I understand its a different speedo type that youre gonna have to adjust on your car? Is this just something for the 95s? Or is it for all the pre 98s?

Nothing was ever mentioned about having to have a certain type of speedo. Those that need the correct speedo for the odometer/trip odometer shouldnt be forced to shell out a few extra bucks to modifty it... Weve waited pretty patiently for a while. Now youre telling us we gotta make modifications for the gauges we spent 90 bucks and waited for months on?

I was iffy when I joined a Group Buy. Now I know why.

you wont need modification.. his car had a cable driven spedo... and the speed guage was different... 96 + cars should be ok

I'm feed up with this and want it to be over. I'm sorry for ranting but I'm just trying my hardest and no one seems to think I am.

I'm waiting on my HVAC too and want it bad. So I can understand where everyone is coming from. So all I ask is for people to be paitent for just awhile longer.

Thanks.

Hey Adam.........still holding tight here, and will continue to do so. Although I must point out that this group buy took so friggin long because of A.) Manuf. and B.)the amount of time it required to get enough people to pay.

I would like to know the name of the company and a contact there, so I can speak to them personally or at least take further action on this.....it's only 80 bucks but 80 bucks can get you a few things here and there.

Thanks!

Adam,

I, too, am frustrated at the time its taking, but my frustration (along with the frustration of others, I'm sure) is directed at ELglow, not you. Most of us have been very patient, but at this point I think its ok that some people start to vent. However, I agree with the above. We all need to start putting pressure on ELglow to get those HVAC panels out the door.

If I may ask, how did you submit payment to the company? There has to be something you or we can use as leverage. I think its ridiculous that this company has sat on our money for months without delivering the completed product. Shades of Kaotic, I'm afraid. It would be really nice to have a phone number, email, and snail mail so we can start our campaign to get what we paid for. Maybe 20 people can apply a little more pressure than one.

I wasn't trying to be an ass...I will wait a while to do this, but I like to be updated. The updates keep me patient.

My biggest gripe is that this was my first group buy here... I shoulda probably expected this to take a long time. But when I had a Grand Am and was part of a GM forum ELGlow had everything done within a month and everyone got their stuff.

This has been going on for a while and I dont like getting shafted... I heard really good things about 1BADTOUR while reading through the post and thats the only reason why I decided to join this group buy. Cause he seemed a standup guy. But then we dont get updates and stuff so now Im getting iffy. Then we get an update saying that he got the gauges and only a few people actually got the gauges. Thats what kinda got me aggrivated...

Im relatively new to the boards and dont know who to trust. I just figured this was one of the guys that was scamming everyone. I ponied up the dough cause of the HVACs and I think itll be hott as hell.

I just like being updated so I dont feel like Im being taken for a ride.

Got my gauges today. Can anyone tell me how they put theirs in please? Thanks. I think we really need a how-to posted.

I want the phone number to this company. I am bitching!

Hey you wanna know something really fricken cool 1BadTour? I got an instrument cluster for the 2/95 which was first release of the electric speedo one for 95. Well, so I go take out my cable driven cluster, and changed absolutely NOTHING else, then put in my new electronic speedo cluster, and you know what? The speedo works!! Yeah, I didn't have to wire nothin. That means Ford must have known about the mid-year change from cable to electronic, and I'm thinking that they just needed to still use up some old warehouse stock of the cable driven ones before actually applying the change. But yeah, just perfectly, mine works! And I got the indiglo all stuck on the gauges, and I got the temp needle on, fuel needle on, tach needle on, but am still just trying to find perfect speedo needle position. So I'm going out right now to do that, and then I will push that needle on the rest of the way, and put the lense all on, and wire up the indiglo dimmer control, etc.

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks, and that the product works like expected, and I'm happy.

That will be nice when the HVACs come too. I'm patient. The main part I got tided me over for now.

Josch, that's really good to hear. So you didn't have to hook up a VSS?

I have to agree. These people have over $2000 of our money. They said they could deliver what we wanted (with a minimum number of orders) way back in July. They should have been ready with the product as soon as they had our money. 1BADTOUR, I know it's not your fault, but you really need to try and get these a$$holes moving. They're screwing with us and they already have the cash!

I'm getting a Pioneer head unit installed today (blue background, of course) and until these mutha!@#$%^& gauges get installed, my dash is gonna look strange/stupid/etc. What more can be done---I don't know but as I said in January, these buttholes have had over $2000 of OUR MONEY for over 8 months. Somebody is making some, not much, but still making money off OUR MONEY. I wish someone would kiss me, at least then, getting screwed wouldn't be so painful.

Didn't have to change VSS or nothin. Total plug-n-play all the way. No wiring or nothing. plug-n-play, that's a first for Ford! I've been working on Fords and been a Ford enthusiast for many years since the 80's and I've never seen this level of plug-n-play with anything Ford ever. Just last night I finally got my speedo needle all dialed perfect last night perfect mile a minute when you hold 60 mph. so I buttoned the dash all up and it looks great! I left the factory dimmer hooked up on it's original circuit to light up the needles still if I want, so I can control the needle brightness, or the indiglo intensity with it's respective dimmer control. It looks really nice. I wonder what the life expectancy is though on these indiglos? Anyone know?

lmao

so we have no idea when there are gonna be in?

lets tell elglow that if they dont finish these we'll drive down there in a meet type format and beat them to a blody hell of a pulp... then make our own darn hvacs...

or maybe we could have elglows number... and not have to go through with that...

can someone give me a price of what its gonna be? and is it only blue color, or can i get them in white or green?

Gonna be? Did you read any of this thread? The GB is over, it was $80, they are indiglo guages that shift from blue to green when lit (white when not lit), no one's received a completed product yet, and its been several months. Seriously, run (don't walk) away from this thread.

Badtour no offence but i was gogin to get down with the group buy but was naw i will wait 2 get it on my own... guess i chose right. I would kick the indiglos ppl assests

It is now March. Where are my gauges?!?!

No offense to anyone, and up till this point I have been reasonable, at least I think so, but.......

Why is it taking so long for the company to manufacture and ship the gauges that they said they would be able to make. I mean are they conducting R&D????

If they can't do it within a reasonable amount of time (which in itself has been superceeded) every red cent should be refunded, as it is only affair.

Some sort of action should be taken, as I am tired of just sitting by and not seeing anything happen, like I said before yeah sure its 80 bucks but it's my 80 bucks.

.....just my 2 bits.

Give me a mother [censored] number and I will get my own god damn answers.

So, what's the deal with this? You last updated us on Feb. 20th., yet you post on CEG every day. You have not kept us updated on your progress with ELGlow, nor have you given us contact info so we may help expedite our orders. So many people have vouched for you, and you have given us no reason to doubt you, but I'm sorry to say if we don't see something soon I'm going to have to start exploring my legal options.

Your legal options are pretty open. Youll get your money back guranteed, if youve been waiting on these to show your car then the prize for the lowest place winnings could potentially be yours, especially if you entered said show and lost due to style or can prove that the reason you lost points was because you lacked the gauges to keep your car "win worthy" and therefor would win that sum. Your also entitled to sue for something about bad seller. I cant remember what its called exactly. But it has something to do with goods not delivered in a timely fashion.

Then your options with EL Glow (or whatever company is being used) for untimely delivery to him, bad product delivered, and if he really has had no contact with them they would have a write up from the BBB (or whoever controls the services of internet consumer sites) where theyd be fined a set amount.

Ive already talked it out with my lawyer. Hes only my lawyer because hes representing me for my car accident. Anyone who hasnt received their gauges AND HVACs so far are entitled to all of this.

He doesnt believe youll get your gauges but the money you laid out is a gurantee and the possible monies is a strong possibility. Obviousely if you have a pure stock car with no modifications at all then youre not eligible for the possible winnings, but if youve brought your car to show before and won or lost due to points that can be directly related to that.

For example if you were to have lost points for matching theme (IE your gauges are reverse indiglo but your HVAC is not) and you were waiting for the HVAC in this group buy, youd be entitled for the lowest place winnings for that show. There is a grace period of how long after youd be eligible for this. Like you wouldnt be eligible the day after he got the gauges from EL Glow. But if the car show was 2 weeks or so after he received the gauges then your entitled. Mail may run slow but within 2 weeks is a more than reasonable time for a package to be delivered.

BadTour is in a very bad position with this whole thing. The fact that he posts about the new crap hes gotten for his car instead of posting some more info about this shows his gross negligence in making sure we receive the items we paid for.

If I dont either get my gauges (HVAC included) or my money back by the end of March then Im gonna have no choice but to pursue legal action.

Its not a threat of any kind. All he has to do is say "Hey I got a call from EL Glow and they said you can all go [censored] yourselves" and its EL Glows problem, not his. But if he doesnt I have no other choice then to assume that hes shafting us.

I want an answer. Not one of those [censored] "Oh Im working on it guys I promise" responses either. I want a real answer. Something like "Youll get them at a certain date" or "They have a certain number ready to ship right now and have the rest at some other date"

This whole group buy has definetly turned me away from trying any other group buy thats going on.

I want either my gauges WITH HVAC or my money back by the end of March. Ill accept nothing less.

Yeah I was wondering why we get the shaft when your always on running Car of the Month things....

FCuk legal actions...I just want my gauges. More so, I want the number to get in touch with El GLow NOW. You can give us that. Both my parents are attorney's and damn good ones. Legal action is stupid as the value of the gauges couldn't even buy half an hour of a good lawyer's time.

Give me a phone number to this place. 1badtour, wtf is going on. You do post everyday. Why can't you give us a goddamn number, You say we are busting your balls, whatever, give us a damn phone number to this place!

I remember thinking back in October, after we had finally waited for everyone to pay... "I hope I don't have to install these gauges in the winter." Looks like I won't have to, spring less than two weeks away.

Or you could be installing them next winter.

Well this sucks for ya'll! I'm up for a road trip just about anytime! Where's this place anyways?

Yea, that's not cool, Adam. Let us know what's going on. I know you're cool, but these guys don't. Prove it to'em.

Tim

Update: I talked to Adam today, after my car went South for the winter yesterday (read my "Goodbye Mystique.." post in the South Central CEG forum), and he said EL Glow keeps telling him that the order is almost done but then calling him and telling him it will be another few days.

I think they're a small company with only a hand full of people, but I don't know for sure (could be wrong). He says he's going to post an update later this week after he finds out what's going on.

Tim

I will STFU, I just reeally want these before SZ, hows that!

Thats the same stupid damn update we've been getting every month. Small company or not, one damn person can make thirty gauges in 6 months.

SCREW WAITING ON THE ORDER, WE KEEP HEARING THE SAME B.S. EVERY MONTH. I WANT MY MONEY BACK NOW.

Can we please have the number for this company I want to call and complain! I am thinking of filing with the BBB. Tell them that we are and that might make them a little more motivated!

would you be willing to sell me just a hvac layover??

Adam could you please include some contact information when you update, thanks.

Yeah, well that's fine and all, but why can't he come on here and post that, seeing how he posts in other topics throughout the day/week.
Hey I'm not trying to call him out, but this is getting a little out of hand, although I have to be honest, giving out that companies number to everyone on here may or may not be a good idea.
The only thing I ask is to be told what is going on in detail, and it doesn't have to be done every friggin week or everyday for that matter......just give some of the guys on here piece of mind and handle this properly.

Well I had to wait a year spending $450 on the front bumper that micah made. Thats just an example of how long some of these group buys last.

Well with that said I'm going to continue to wait on elglow because I really want my hvac, so with that said I'm going to buy peoples spots out that no longer wish to be in this group buy.

I'm having to buy the spots out of my own pocket, so its only going to be 1 or 2 people every 2 weeks. The spots I buy will be avalible when the rest of the order comes in, therefore they will be posted and first come first serve.

I'm not a quiter because the road gets rough, so I'm going to stick to this group buy untill the very end. So what I need now is for people who want me to buy there spot, which will be the total of the money that person sent me, to post and let me know you want me to buy your spot, I will then make a list and start buying spots the 25th of this month.

To the people that are being patient and hanging in tell the end, thank you very much.

I will update when I have good news to share with everyone.

Adam, how long are you willing to wait? I'm getting the feeling that ELGlow will keep stringing you on until you actually do something to force the issue. What has been done beyond phone calls? I'm trying my absolute best to be patient, but ELGlow is being absolutely ridiculous about this delay.

I got to agree with hetfield. The road got rough several months ago. It's very noble of you to offer to buy spots for people who want out, but why in the hell should you have to shell out your own money because an established company is collectively screwing us? I honestly don't have the answer but your letting ELGlow off the hook just isn't right. Have you actually spoken to anyone legally versed in our situation? Was there any type of contract between you and ELGlow--such as them agreeing to produce the gauges once a certain number of people PAID? There had to be something there simply because of that specific requirement. Numerous phone calls aren't doing it, you're gonna have to force them and since nothing else has worked, I would strongly suggest looking at the legal aspects. Have you contacted the BBB yet? I've used them in the past and they were useful in my case, which by the way involved over $3000 in bad carpeting.

Because of the weather in Ohio, I'm still willing to wait "a little bit longer" but if they don't have product for us by the time things start to warm up, I may just have to take you up on your offer. I sincerely hope you come up with an answer before then.

I want to be bought out. I am near the top of the list, but so what!

Buy me out.

Send the $82.75 through PayPal to rickmanfre@comcast.net.

Ill just buy a set off Ebay.

Adam, you are being a total pu$$y with these guys. Contact the BBB you twat.

I want mine too, and I don't want to be bought out so wtf option do I have? NONE! Except to wait for you to grow some testicals and deal with these azzclowns.
If a number is not posted soon, people are going to even wonder if this was a real GB or if you just took our money and were gonna pay us all back...I know I am wondering this very thing...

Being that this is complete [censored] and its just aggrivating for everyone, I just emailed SpeedHut to see if theyd be able to make the indiglo HVAC for us. Right now they have the SVT Gauge cluster in preperation and I believe all they need is an HVAC panel, which I have a spare of, and they can get it done for us.

Im not positive if theyll be able to make the HVAC for us but I figured it couldnt hurt. Theyre pretty reputable and I remember using them when I was on GMPower with my Grand Am and we got answers whenever we had a question and was done right away. The only thing that would be needed from everyone is 25 orders. I already asked them to give me an estimated cost for the production. Itll save everyone a lot of [censored] and everyone after the group buy will still be able to get the HVAC after the group buy is over so its not just a one time ordeal. Theyll always be there for us in the future. Which is very convenient.

When I find out more info Ill put up a post about it. Right now Im still finding out information.

peter was a little abrasive, but although I want my money back, I don't want to make you suck up the difference. As I asked before please send me the information on the company who was supposed to produce our guages, if you are not willing to do that please just get our money back, and lets see if we can find a company who offers products in return for money.

So if I am at the bottom of the list, does that mean I get my money back last? Adam, please just give us some concrete information. No more of this beating around the bush sh!+.

Either a number and address to EL Glow, or money back right away, or hopefully an exact date to when we will HAVE the gauges.

NO MORE EXCUSES

Seriously I am getting screwwed in the Kaotic Body Kit GB and I cant afford to get screwwed by this one!

We need names and numbers now!

Id better be second on that refund list. I was the second person to say they wanted their money back after you had said 2 a week.

Ill wait for speedhut to get back to me about the indiglo HVAC. If not Ill just get white face and deal with it.

This is the first time I spent 80summin dollars and didnt get anything for it for nearly 6 months.

http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=groupbuy&Number=562120&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

If anyones interested.

I might be stealing your thunder man but, well, Im not gonna sit here and [censored] that I havent gotten my gauges in over 6 months and just do nothing about it.

Its more expensive but theyre reputable, all the contact information is already provided, theres more options, and theyre pretty quick with the gauges once they get the 25 orders in.

I also think that you pay them directly. You dont send money to someone who then sends it to them. No more middleman.

Down-side is theyre a bit more expensive and you get the gauges depending on when 25 people are signed up for it.

I was considering just ordering 25 to get them made real quick, but that would be really really expensive for me all at once.

I will still wait for mine. I am patient in the matter. Keep me on your list for sure

Same here, but I just dont want to wait forever.

Just policing this thread... Don't know what the H E double hockey sticks is going on w/ the company making these damn things but I know damn sure they are SLOW! Adam is now working so he has little time these days, not trying to make excuses but that's how it is, and of course his family matters on top of that. Yes, this is making him look bad to some of you and yes more could probably be done about getting "supposed former whoever" company to get on the ball and spit this [censored] out faster. Thankyou to those who are being so patient about all this. I'll be seeing Adam this week in a day or so and I will beat some contact information out of him. And if I personally have to pm that information to everyone on the "list" I will. I agree this has taken way to long and now there definately needs to be some pressure put on elglow or whoever made the damn things by everyone in on this buy... Hopefully information will follow in the next day by wed if it hasn't been sent out already...

Fair enough.

I guess.

Ok guys so here is basically what I was able to find out... No intention of starting any wars but the first part of this information was posted on the first couple of pages of this buy. First of all the contact for these is through cardoc of FCO. He is the one that adam has gotten this deal through as cardoc has the contacts w/ the company making them which is supposedly some foreign company from taiwan or japan

Adam placed the order for the gauges and the svt gauges were all messed up w/ only having 129mph on the speedo instead of 160 so he sent those back to be corrected. This company already has the money for these gauges/hvac's so that's the bad part of this situation as the bill has been paid and they have everyone's money... And now we're left sitting here playing the waiting game. Some of you have already gotten your gauges but those of you who are waiting on the svt and hvacs are to my understanding, what's in limbo right now. Only thing that would of been nice is if adam would of taken pics of the jacked up svt gauges before he sent them back to get corrected so you guys would of known that they did come in but all messed up. And I know you don't want messed up goods. As for contact information, i was told it was unknown as cardoc had the contacts and adam just went through him for the gauges, and that he said he would message cardoc for that information if possible.... Sorry guys, that's all I was able to find out...

In the eight days since Adam's last post in this thread, he has posted five (5) messages in other threads, including two today. First Tim was acting as proxy to Adam who was acting as proxy to cardoc who is acting as proxy to ELGlow. Now Stolon is acting as proxy to Adam who is acting as proxy to cardoc who is acting as proxy to ELGlow. Why is it that you need to talk to Adam just to tell us this information? Why does Adam not post it here himself? Is he afraid of us? I think I have been most patient and gracious in dealing with Adam, so I certainly hope he isn't trying to avoid us.

Since it is highly unlikely that cardoc will be posting anything at contour.org ever, it is Adam's responsibility to keep us informed and spearhead the effort for us. Also, he is the person we made payment to. At this point legal action against ELGlow is prudent and necessary. If Adam is unable or unwilling to take action against ELGlow I will have no option but to take action against him. If Adam (not Tim, and not Stolon) does not inform us of the legal actions he has taken against ELGlow by April 17th, I will be filing a claim of mail fraud with the U.S. Postal Inspector's Office.

EDIT: these two links are there to help Adam as well. ELGlow is bound to these same rules. Maybe someone needs to explain this to them.

Ok well this is just getting out of hand, I have posted and tried to make you guys feel safe about this group buy, I have even said I would take the money out of my pocket to refund anyones money. My post got ignored and everyone here thinks they are being taking for a ride, let me say this NOBODY IS GETTING TAKING FOR A RIDE. I have pics of the guages I have recived and I have posted them and about 5 or 6 people have gotten there gauges. So how is it that I'm taking people for a ride?????? Nobody is trying to be a poxy for me I told everyone in my last post that I would post when I had better news, the others that have posted on my behalf acted on there own and I would like to thank them for that, but I would really be thankfull if nobody else posted in my defense. I can take care of my own problems.

Ok so here is the list of people that are going to get bought out.

1)hetfield
2)MapOfTaziFoSho
3)Manfre
4)JETNBYA
5){Kontofosho}
6)BURNTU2
7)2&1/2

Thats the list of people I have so far, The first two people on the list will I need you to send me a pm and tell me how you want your money sent back. Thanks to everyone else that is waiting we will get through this.

Also if you want your money back I would really like it if you would PM me and let me know instead of threating me with legal action in this group buy.

I would like to remind some people of rule number 7 in the rules listed on the main page.

#7. If you have a problem with someone on the forums, please do not air it publicly. Take it off line via email, PM.s (personal message) or IM.

Thanks,

When did I say I wanted to be bought out? All I have said is somebody needs to light a fire under their asses.
If you for some reason would like to buy me out, I would have no problem with that. I am poor.

I never said that. What I'm saying is that you have taken entirely too long to resolve this, and it needs to be resolved now. If you were able to set a concrete date I think we wouldn't be having this discussion, but you have not been able to do that.

Then when people ask question why does it take you weeks to answer? You post your CotM polls like clockwork, but you can't come in here and say "Hey guys I talked to so-and-so today and this is what they said." We keep getting tidbits of information from other CEGers which is not fair to them.

Don't put me at the top of this list because I'm making a stink. That's not fair to the other CEGers. I really want my gauges, but I'm not willing to wait indefinitely. You have to set some concrete dates with your contacts and then follow through with them. If you could do that, and keep us updated on the progress, I wouldn't be so frustrated, and neither would other people.

I don't have a problem with you personally. Not in the least. I have a problem with ELGlow, and a business deal with you. That same business deal concerns everyone involved with this group buy. What you have to understand is that you took our payments, not ELGlow, so legally you are the person we have to deal with. Once again, if you would post here on a regular basis telling us the status of your dealings with ELGlow, I wouldn't have any problem. Fair enough?

The problem is the complete lack of commuincation on your part. Thats the whole reason why people feel theyre being taken for a ride. We send money to you, you send it to whomever, they send it to the company making the gauges. Then we get updated once in a while about the order status, and thats fine. Then we get updated that you got the gauges. Even better. But then after you send the ones that are screwed up back the updates are far and few between.

Which makes everyone wonder if theyre getting screwed. The only updates that weve gotten since you returned the messed up gauges is "Im working on it" over and over. You didnt really explain anything about what you were doing about the whole situation.

Maybe if you told us that you were making emailing them every day or posting some contact information for us so we could go about getting information in our own ways this wouldnt be a problem.

Maybe youre not screwing us all around and theyre dicking you over. But have you even stopped to think that maybe the voice of 25 people would be stronger then the voice of one? If youre acting as proxy to cardoc then get the info from him. It doesnt matter if theyre from Taiwan or Japan or wherever the hell they are. You get enough emails from a variety of people, your gonna get worried that somethings gonna happen, which will then force you to finish the product quicker and get everyone their product before legal action is taken.

You have legal rights in this thing that you arent trying to pursue. For all we know you emailed these guys once and havent gotten an answer back. But we dont know whats going on because you dont update us!

If youre gonna run something you have to give an update. Especially if you have a bunch of disgruntled CEGers who are getting pissed and want their money back, which comes out of your pocket! I mean hell even if you got on here and, before posting on another thread, said something to the effect of "well these guys are being [censored] and arent responding to any of my emails" wed back you more on the whole thing. But being the fact that the updates weve gotten thus far are far and few between, its unsettling to hear nothing about an item that we paid more then a few bucks for.

Well with that said I'm going to continue to wait on elglow because I really want my hvac, so with that said I'm going to buy peoples spots out that no longer wish to be in this group buy. I'm having to buy the spots out of my own pocket, so its only going to be 1 or 2 people every 2 weeks. The spots I buy will be avalible when the rest of the order comes in, therefore they will be posted and first come first serve. I'm not a quiter because the road gets rough, so I'm going to stick to this group buy untill the very end.

Adam, how long are you willing to wait? I'm getting the feeling that ELGlow will keep stringing you on until you actually do something to force the issue. What has been done beyond phone calls? I'm trying my absolute best to be patient, but ELGlow is being absolutely ridiculous about this delay.

I got to agree with hetfield. The road got rough several months ago. It's very noble of you to offer to buy spots for people who want out, but why in the hell should you have to shell out your own money because an established company is collectively screwing us? I honestly don't have the answer but your letting ELGlow off the hook just isn't right. Have you actually spoken to anyone legally versed in our situation? Was there any type of contract between you and ELGlow--such as them agreeing to produce the gauges once a certain number of people PAID? There had to be something there simply because of that specific requirement. Numerous phone calls aren't doing it, you're gonna have to force them and since nothing else has worked, I would strongly suggest looking at the legal aspects. Have you contacted the BBB yet? I've used them in the past and they were useful in my case, which by the way involved over $3000 in bad carpeting.

Because of the weather in Ohio, I'm still willing to wait "a little bit longer" but if they don't have product for us by the time things start to warm up, I may just have to take you up on your offer. I sincerely hope you come up with an answer before then.

Adam, you are being a total pu$$y with these guys. Contact the BBB you twat.

I want mine too, and I don't want to be bought out so wtf option do I have? NONE! Except to wait for you to grow some testicals and deal with these azzclowns.
If a number is not posted soon, people are going to even wonder if this was a real GB or if you just took our money and were gonna pay us all back...I know I am wondering this very thing...

I mention right here that I don't want to be bought out.

Thank you Manfre, you explained much more eloquently what I was trying to say. I don't want to screw you over Adam, that's the last thing I want to do. If you open the channels of communication with everyone then there's no need to let this get out of hand. That's all I'm (and I believe everyone else) looking for here. If you're willing to make a commitment and good-faith effort to update us regularly you can take me off the buyout list completely. If you're willing to wait indefinitely and not keep us updated, put me at the bottom of the list. If it actually comes down to you buying me out I will buy they gauges back from you if/when they arrive.

Ok sounds like a good deal, I will keep you guys more informed and update weekly on whats going on, I'm going to start threating legal action on them to see if that will speed them up. I'm sorry the way this thing is going

I want everyone to know that I'm working on this and we all will get our gauges.

If this doesn't happen in a timely manner than I will pursue legal action. I'm talking no more than 2 or 3 months.

I'm going to go ahead and buy out the ones that are left on the list that didn't post they wanted taking off the list. This will give them a chance to pursue another mod for there car.

Once again I'm very sorry about the way I have handle this group buy and I want everyone to know I will do a better job from here on out.

Thank you. Its just the point I was trying to make as well. I wouldnt mind waiting for the gauges. As long as there was some sort of date set. Even if you gave us an estimated time of arrival of when theyd be done.

I waited a long as time for these gauges. I already lost the money so my financial circumstances arent part of the problem. If I would have gotten the gauges Id still be in the same position I am now.

But whats aggrivating me, and Im sure I speak for everyone here, is that we dont get updated. This thread should be your Number 1 priority on these threads. Im not saying you cant post somewhere else, but I am saying you should post here first to at least let us know what the hells going on.

The less information people receive the more likely they are going to wonder if you just took our money and ran.

Like Hetfield said, its YOUR obligation to make the move on these people. You are the one we paid and you promised us a product. Regardless if youre the middleman or manufacturer, you promised us an item, we paid you for said item, most of us havent received the item when you said we would. Now there was a problem with the first batch. Thats fine. Its to be expected. But 3 or 4 months later and still no word? It took them less time to make the initial batch for us. At even then that quantity was much larger. How long do you think it takes to make an indiglo gauge and HVAC? Ive seen body shops fabricate an entire car in less time. And thats far more intricate work then 20 sets of indiglo gauges. Hell I bet Ford pumps out a car a minute in one factory. A company cant make a single pair of gauges in a day? I find that hard to believe.

I wouldnt be so pissed about everyone getting [censored] if we were at least given a reach around.

I'm not trying to be a proxy to anyone on here for any reason what so ever. Seeing as I personally know Adam first hand, I figured I could approach the subject of the matter and find out what was actually going on. This was his group buy and I didn't ever get involved so I was just as clueless as the rest of you. All I was trying to do was bring up the issue w/ him to get the exact details, to pass along some information, most of which is still unknown or I would have stated it in my other post. I'm not trying to defend anyone or keep anyone happy. As somebody said in an earlier post about lighing a fire underneath someones a$$, that's all I'm trying to do. Trying to give adam a swift kick and realize he needs to get something done. maybe he is a little afraid of ppl on here first of all because he was going through cardoc whose name seemed to turn into a black plauge around here. Who knows...

Again, do not think that I'm trying to be proxy for anyone. I'm just trying to help one of my friends who's in a really, REALLY bad situation w/ this group buy. If it makes him mad if I press the matter a lot than that's just because he isn't getting the message from all of you and that is sad.

I'm not trying to fire shots at you Adam, but I'll agree that you really need to add more updates and I hope that you follow through w/ what you posted today. And furthermore I don't think that this matter should take more than ONE MONTH tops to get resolved as this company has already have been paid. send an e-mail everyday. get contact #'s call, do something. if not, contact the bbb, hell, use the shipping label from the first shipment and have it traced to a location w/ a #...Then post that on here in 45pt font, bright red, flashing for all these people to see. I'll agree that more ppl pressuring the better!!! That's all I have to say....

If a weekly update is not made, then I will assume that you are not holding to your word and will file a claim with mail fraud and the BBB. I really want to avoid this route but it seems as though its the only thing that will work, because I am seeing absolutely no progress.

My patients were gone two months ago. You need to threaten legal action NOW! Not soon... NOW!!! Stop beeing a nice guy to these buttwipes. Grow some balls, and don't take 'no' or 'were working on it' for an answer. Explanations aren't cutting it. I want results. Obviously they aren't working on it.

I am in a terrible position on this group buy.. the last on the list; which means I'll get my gauges last or bought-out last. Something is telling me that I am most likely to be forgotten, meaning no gauges or money returned.

Adam, the only thing I'm upset with you about is that you aren't standing up to anybody! Not even us! It reminds me of one of my best friends who lets his ugly-bi+ch of a girlfriend push him around all the time and he's misserable. GLGlow is the girlfriend and your the weak-as friend. Dump the bi+ch, bud!

Who is cardoc and why should 1BADTOUR be shy about telling us he is in the loop? Is he anyone like Milan?

I'm the last one on the SVT gauge package. Being last shouldn't have anything to do with anything. I better not be forgotten!!! Don't put salt in the wounds.

Originally posted by wa2tuff:

He is a former CEGer and the founder/creator of fordcontour.org.

Ok, wtf? when are the guauges slotted to come in as of now? Because in about a month or so, i'll be leaving school, and going back home. So, my address will change. Ummmmmm, yeah. Just kinda sucks that i was looking forward to cruisin at school with a nice glowing dash, but will have to maybe to it this summer. If they actually come in by then.......

Hey, look at that...

It's been over a week since Adam posted, and no update on anything. You said you would make weekly updates and you missed the first week!!!! Adam, stop making promises you can't keep. I'm fed up.

Ok Adam, you say legal action won't matter. Well what if I had the backing of everyone else in this group buy. And I do not plan on making empty threats either. Both my parents are attorney's, and I happen to be pre-law. Give us a name man, or you are going to have some issues at SZ. You are only making problems for yourself.

adam

Has ANYONE gotten their money back that wants it yet? Anyone at all?

I have a request to him from PayPal for payment. I havent heard anything back on that yet.

This is definetly feeling like a scumbag Group Buy...

DO SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR A CHANGE!!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, GET AHOLD OF MapOfTaziFoSho. HE SAYS BOTH PARENTS ARE LAWYERS AND HE'S PRE-LAW. FOR GOD'S SAKE AND YOUR OWN , GET OFF YOUR A$$ AND DO SOMETHING!!! IGNORING US LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOING IS NOT GONNA MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY!!!! POSTING EVERY 2 OR 3 WEEKS IS NOT KEEPING US INFORMED!!!! If I was you, I'd be contacting the US Postal Service, the Better Business Bureau, an attorney. Since you are the one we've been dealing with, you need to get in gear. The hole you're in is just getting deeper by the day.

Jesus, I'm not a lawyer nor do I have access to one---who out there in CEG land is? Make yourselves known. What can be done besides all the complaining we've done, which so far has gotten us squat.

Ok here is the last update I'm going to make other than the list of people that I have sent money to.

I'm going to have to drag this through court. I will be doing what I have said I would do and refund everyones money, I'm not rich and I'm having to pay what I can when I can. I don't want to post the numbers or contact info because I'm going to go to court and I stand a better chance with one person out a lump sum than a bunch of people with a little bit of money "compared to the money total of the group buy".

So with that said I would like to let everyone know I'm sorry the way this has gone and please know that I'm not going down without a fight and I will post the outcome of the whole thing when I win.

If you have any questions please send me a PM because I will not be checking this thread very often.

Thanks,

What about those of us, who are sitting in the dark with no clue as to what has happened with their money? Like I have posted, time and time again, yes I understand the situation but there has to be a better way to address it. I'm not sure what the legalities of the whole situation are, but I will make sure I look into it.......because it is unfair for you to have to take all of the blame and heat (whether it is or isn't your fault) when you don't have to.

All I would like to know is how these things are being addressed, so that at least I have some piece of mind that something is being done to ensure that I recieve A.) what I am rightfully entitled to or B.) my money back......no threats, just address it properly and thoroughly.

I'm pretty much frustrated with this, and I hate even looking at this topic because I know after almost 1 year.....I still have nothing! Personally if it were me, I would do a bit more to re-establish your credibility .....because in the end you never know who you will need.

I only say this because some of the story that I have heard, because I don't think any other CEG'er knows except for you, has little holes here and there. Some of this doesn't make sense? Who have you contacted so far? There are many other avenues in addition to an attorney....i.e. your state's Attorney Generals office, just being one example. If this is something you do not have the time to address fully.....then you should be up front about it.

I'm going to have to drag this through court. I will be doing what I have said I would do and refund everyones money, I'm not rich and I'm having to pay what I can when I can. I don't want to post the numbers or contact info because I'm going to go to court and I stand a better chance with one person out a lump sum than a bunch of people with a little bit of money "compared to the money total of the group buy".

So with that said I would like to let everyone know I'm sorry the way this has gone and please know that I'm not going down without a fight and I will post the outcome of the whole thing when I win. If you have any questions please send me a PM because I will not be checking this thread very often.

Thanks,

With that mentality no wonder why you got screwed.

Stop and think about it a minute. You have one customer complaining. Big deal. I could give a [censored] less about one customer complaining about me at my job. Its just one person against how many hundreds or thousands. Now if theres about 20 people complaining all about the same thing then thats when youll get heard and whoever is making the final decision will take notice.

I sent you a request for payment through PayPal. I was the second person to ask for my money back. I expect to be the second person to receive their money back.

bump!

I have a question, and everyone involved in this try and answer it, please! Maybe we will put together a list so we can keep track of anything that may or may not happen.

Who has been refunded?

Who received part of their order?

Who received their completed order?

I have yet to be refunded after sending 2 payment requests through PayPal and one reminder on the 2nd payment.

I dont think anyone ever received their complete order and maybe 5 received part of their order.

This group buy has gone to [censored] and a lot of credibility has been lost.

I have received nothing.

Has he sent an email/pm updates to anyone?

The last I heard from Adam was his last post in this thread.

I have recieved nothing

Originally posted by perry:

None here.

I got my gauges but not the HVAC. He PMed me maybe 2 weeks ago and said I will get money sometime down the road...........

I PM'd him for a refund. He read my PM on 4/15/04 but didn't answer. That's the last contact.

Buyout please. Sending PM.

Ok, sorry but my internet connection was down for awhile.

Here is who has got money and who will get money next.

Refund sent:

1.)MapOfTaziFoSho

Next in line:

1.)Manfre

I'm doing this as I can afford to, so everyone hang on you will get your money back.

I just got this a few minutes ago. Hopefully, it won't take as long as the GB.

I have already added you to the list. Sorry for the way things have went.

Thats funny...

I paid $80.

I have not recieved my gauges and HVAC or a refund of my money.

Adam said he would refund me by the end of May $35 for my HVAC that I will never get, and send me a set of the gauges (I have no idea when these are supposed to come).

I sent him a PM saying that I want either all $80 back or both the HVAC and gauges. The last PM I sent to Adam was on 4/11/04 and I did not get a response to it; only a read reciept also on 4/11/04.

Is there something that can be done? Perry?

Well I got my $$ back. So I am just gonna STFU, best of luck to all of you.

What can I do? Banning him will result in even less communication. Change the way group buys are run in the future? That wouldn't help you get your money back. He's obviously broke (or else the money would be refunded), so taking him to court won't do much good.

Adam, from here on out, if you're going to post on other areas of the site, I also expect you to post in here giving some sort of update. Communications you've had with the company, who's checks are going out next, anything, something. I told you before that I'd start locking your car of the month threads if your communications in this group buy didn't improve. I'm going to start doing that. If you have time to run those contests and post elsewhere, then you have time to post in here.

At least someones taking some real action to help get this resolved, and feels what hes doing contact wise is rather shady.

ok, i'd like my refund ASAP. cuz now i'm dirt poor. i'm down to $300 to my name. can we still get these EL guages? is anyone else doing a GB?

I got mine a week after I ordered them. They work great. I just need to wire them up properly and itll be perfect.

Im still waiting on my refund.

If it takes you more then 2 weeks (Ill give in case you get paid bi-weekly) to pay someone 88 bucks back, then you need to get a better job.

Ive waited patiently for the gauges, that got screwed, so I waited patiently for my refund. Im still waiting. I shouldnt need to be waiting for anything. Ive been waiting for months for the gauges, and the last couple weeks (going on almost 2 months I think) for my refund. This is shady and I want answers.

Its a big deal cause Ive been waiting for over a month for it. I paid for indiglo gauges and an indiglo HVAC in November 03. As of May 04 Ive received absolutely nothing. Id say its worth making a big deal being that what I paid for is not coming, and Ive yet to get my refund which I asked for about 2 months ago. Its fraud.

Well, I went ahead and ordered them. No HVAC but only $39.25 otherwise. Beats the crap out of $72 and no product. Now I'm waiting for my refund.

I'm one of the people waiting for my gauges, too, but I know Adam's doing everything he can. $88 is a big deal, no matter if the person's being honorable and paying it out of their own pocket or just passing along money that's already been paid to them. I know it's hard to believe, guys, but some folks are honorable

If you can't trust a thousand+ posting honorable CEG'er like Adam, then I don't know who you can trust.

Ok here is the best update I can give right now.

Refund paid:
1)MapOfTaziFoSho

Next to receive refund
1)Manfre

I'm working on getting the money together as quick as I can, don't worry everyone you will get you refund just takes time is all.

I should have manfre's refund ready on the 20th of this month.

Once again thanks everyone for hanging in there.

So the way this is going I'll get mine sometime in 2005 or what?

They came today and I must say, they look pretty good. I won't be able to install them for a couple weeks, but I have high hopes for their look.

They really arent bad at all. Ive had my reverse indies I got off Ebay, probably the same guy you got yours off, for about a year and havent seen any bleeding or have had any problems at all. I do have to install them the right way though. Right now theyre powered off my fog light switch. I know its a no-no but I was hoping to have a set of indies and didnt wanna have to undo the wiring and then redo it again, its easily accessable right now.

The only thing I dont like is the fact that there are 4 wires, one for each gauge. But beggers cant be choosers right?

MONEY BACK NOW!!! PLEASE!!!

What about all the other people that want their money back? Come up with a list of them. When will they get their money back?

What about the people that want guages? What have you done to make that happen?

Adam,

I am willing to wait if we really are going to get the gauges? But if we don't get an update soon as to what is really happening with Elglow then I too would like my money back as well. This has been going on long enough for what should have been a simple GB!

I still haven't had the time to install but mine have 2 multi-wired plugs. With only reading experience-no hands on-I assume the original has 2 plugs also. Am I right or wrong? If so, it should be just a simple plug in.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If by simple plug in you mean splicing it into another wire that gets the right power, then youre right.

All you need to do is run over to Pep Boys or somewhere like that and grab a box of those plastic caps. I forgot what theyre called. But they look like a tiny book, have a small metal sheet in the middle, and you put the wire that is gonna be drawing power from another wire in the end thats closed off, then the end thats open you put around the wire that has the power you want, close the cap and its spliced.

Can someone give him a better description? I sound like a moron.

The plugs I was referring to go onto the transformer. I thought they plugged into something in the dash. I hot wired and grounded them right off hot and cold wires in one of the multi-wired plugs. Works fine.

No offense or anything, but if you get your money before I do, Im gonna be extremely [censored] pissed.

Anyone got any pics yet of their EL Glows installed ? I'll bet it looks sweet. Here's one I snapped at the last CEG meet here in Dallas:

Manfre is still the next on the list to get his refund after that is dionysus and then hetfield.

That puts a final deadline at 17 days from now. There are a lot of people on the list after me who will be waiting a very long time to get refunds at the current pace. Legal actions to obtain refunds or completed product would resolve the issue for everyone in a much shorter period of time. So, what is the current status of that side of the issue?

Its ok. Its not like youve been doing this on a regular basis or anything. I mean weve been getting weekly updates and constant contact, and a fast turn around for both the product and refund.

Average turnaround for a refund, or delivery of paid merchandise is a minimum 6 month wait.

Can I at least get a reach around?

Legal actions to obtain refunds or completed product would resolve the issue for everyone in a much shorter period of time. So, what is the current status of that side of the issue?

You didnt hear?

Average turnaround for a refund, or delivery of paid merchandise is a minimum 6 month wait.

Can I at least get a reach around?

Speaking of delivery of product, can I at least get the part I bought off of you?

I sent it USPS last week. I havent heard from you so I figured all was well.

Once again thanks everyone for hanging in there.

Ok here is an update, sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I have ran into a few problems with money and haven't been able to keep on track with the refunds, I have been trying my hardest but i'm going trough some tough times right now and will be back on track very soon. Manfre is still the next on the list to get his refund after that is dionysus and then hetfield. So I just thought I would let everyone know why no one else has got the refunds.

Refund paid:
1)MapOfTaziFoSho

Next to receive refund
1)Manfre
2)Dionysus
3)hetfield

Please hang in everyone will get there refund.

Well not much has changed this week, I'm still trying to get this thing resolved, I'm thinking about trying to get a loan to pay everyone off with, I'll keep everyone updated on that.

So hang in everyone the end might be closer than you think.

You must like taking it in the @ss if you are going to personally lose all this money because of some gauge company...It's not the size of the dog, but the size of the fight in the dog...and you have absolutely no fight. Furthermore, keeping details of what happened from us is just wierd. You are WAYYYY out there buddy. I got my money back, but still have really no idea what YOU did in this whole process. Or WHO made these gauges...

man, i'm sorry, but what the [censored]? i don't care about your money problems, if you don't have my money then you shouldn't have $*%#ing spent it!!!! i've been patient long enough, all i wanted was my first mod to start making my car look sweet, now i'm just pissed. we're coming up on a year! i mean seriously! get my money back, or i will be taking legal action on you!

We all have been more than patient. This is totally unacceptable. Take care of us now! If you were any kind of a man at all this would have been done already. You should have sued the company that you gave our money to, if that is in fact what you did. I HAVE MY DOUBTS! Get some huevos and deal with this like a man.

Josch, you are the one who needs to grow up. A deal is a deal. Wheather you make it with a commercial merchant or 'mano a mano'. It's called integrity. People have been patient - more than patient. He has been cut slack. How much slack is reasonable? You did notice this started in July of 2003? Theres a difference between spending money and throwing it away. People spent money for something they never received. If this is an OK philosophy with you, you'll go far in life on $20k/year. And, if money's not so important to you, why not kick in to the repayment fund Adam is working on? Better yet, why not persuade Adam to dentify the company that screwed Adam over. Perhaps by thinking (I hate cliche) out side of the box, some additional pressure could be applied to the responsible party. At the very least an understanding of what happend. Brush up on some local or state statutes. I believe mediation or small claims court would work in this case (unlike the Kaotic situation as the $$ are too high on that one). Of course the response I'll get from you would be along the lines of Caveat Emptor. Leads us back to that integrity thing, doesn't it.

Get off your high horse, and take your own advice: "WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP, AND GROW UP A LITTLE!" One final point - Group Buys aren't shady; People are.

Yes. Quite literally

Now that's just inappropriate. I won't say how much I do make, but I will say its less than you. Take away from that the $5000 I pay for university tuition out of my pocket, plus the bills and support of my family, and suddenly $80 becomes a big deal. You don't know me nor do you have the right to criticize how I make or spend my money.

Originally posted by Josch:

No, he's not doing his best. He refuses to cooperate or even update us on a regular basis. A lot of trust was lost a long time ago due to that. I will agree that it backfired in his face, probably due to no fault of his own. Its what happened after that.

Originally posted by Josch:

Yes, but by becoming a martyr. To date he has not given us any indication that he has pursued legal action against the person/company responsible for screwing him over, which would hopefully get him the money back to then give back to us. Based on this thread, people offered support and advice on how to proceed, but he has ignored it. I can't speak for others, but personally if Adam had tried and exhausted every possible legal option and still had not gotten the money back, I'd just live with writing off the loss. To the contrary, he has kept hidden the name of the person/company which screwed him over, which has left the members of this group buy with no other option but to look to him to pay us back. I will continue to pursue this issue against Adam as aggresively as I would pursue it against the company, as I have no other choice.

Yes. However, I don't feel that that precludes me from looking towards all my options for recouping lost funds. I will treat any transaction the same and if I feel I've been wronged then I will work to correct the situation.

What does that have to do with backing out of a deal?

Originally posted by Josch:

Since you've brought it up, please define how long we should be patient. My check to Adam is dated August 19th, 2003, and was cashed August 26th, 2003. The Federal Trade Commission mandates that if, as a merchant, you do not know when you will be able to ship an order you must give your customer the option to request a full refund. In addition, refunds by cash, check, or money order must be refunded within seven days.

Originally posted by Josch:

Yes and no. He couldn't prevent getting screwed over, but he could initiate legal action. Instead, he's talking about taking out a loan. This is really unneeded and unacceptable.

Originally posted by Josch:

No, he can't pull the money out of his, ahem, posterior, but he's had months and months to do this. Its not like we found out about this last week.

Would it make you guys feel any better if he filed bankruptcy?

I think his plan was to get a loan to pay all you guys who are holler'n, off. Then from what I've gathered in his previous posts hopefully in the next little while, he'd hopefully get the rest of his order from this company and sell what was to be you guys' gauge indiglos to others later on to recoupe the difference. And I imagine that if this company doesn't ever settle it right with him, then I think he probably WOULD file suite with them later. I have no idea what his intentions are to the tee, but he doesn't strike me as the type that is bad for his word, as I've followed this whole thread, and he seems to have tried.

This whole thing reminds me of that old movie 'Better Off Dead' where the kid on the bike keeps appearing constantly throughout the movie everywhere saying, "I want my two dollars!"

I don't know what else to say, except 'water seeks it's own level'

I guess ya'll will do what ya'll will do.

Oh my. Everyone has a right to do what they want with their money. No one has the right to take that away. That's the issue here.

If he really was trying and was concerned, then he would make every effort to at least provide details or give regular updates. The updates he has been giving have not been voluntary. Yet no one needs to remind him about Car of The Month threads!

Hey Josch---why do you think this post has had, at this time, 13,560 views and 763 replies? The only one worse than this one is the NorCalCoug CF hood GB. This fiasco has gone on longer than anything I've ever been involved with. 1BADTOUR needs to step up to the plate, get legal with these people (whoever the hell they are, since he doesn't see fit to let us, the people whose money he was trusted with, know) and stop trying to appease us (????) by pleading poverty. If he's so poor, what bank is going to give him a signature loan (what's he gonna use for collateral, his word?). I'm not a lawyer nor do I pretend to be one, but I've seen enough posts in this 69 page site to suggest several options. He's even been offered help from people on the site who are or know lawyers. Jeez, this is so rediculous that we have to defend ourselves against tirades like yours. I paid for a product in good faith, I expected my product, and now I didn't get it. What the hell do you expect from me? Oh well, it's only $80

I don't think so.

Theres a Difference between NorcalCoug and this one:

#1 there is a prototype...its on MY CAR!
#2 he does regular updates for everyone...and does not leave people out cold.
#3 He has the money to refund everyone if they chose too..but people decided to wait it out. ANd there is obvious progress being made!!!!!
#4 i have seen first hand the laggyness of Areogear and there inability to produce a prototype till a few months ago, but Devious and Nor keept everyone informed and upto date about everything.

the only bad part was the time frame...yes it has taken longer then most group buys...but they way this one is going this could surpass that easy.

Lupe

Yeah, you're right. At least people know what's going on. That's one of the things that 1BADTOUR hasn't been forthcoming about....real and usable information. And I expect this one to be the model of how not to handle a GB.

Check this out. http://www.importintelligence.com

Only $30 for a Contour gauges, good price.

Is that where Adam ordered his from, if not I'm going to order a set from that place.

Look guys, I'm sorry I even nosed into this part of the topic in the first place and I don't really enjoy argueing that much anyways. I don't even care about whatever happens, or what the end result is, even though it would be nice if everyone eventually gets whatever is rightfully theirs, which I think will eventually happen. GBs are kinda sketchy at times. I probably will never buy anything more from one, as I finally just tried on my Micah bumper today, and brought it to my bodyman guy to give me an estimate on painting, and he started laughing at it, and said it was a hokey piece of $hit, and said I'd be better off patching 2 urethene OEM bumpers together to make an SVT one. GBs for the most part, seem to be held by backyard people who have little or no professional business experience, it CAN be very risky, since you never know what type of person the GB coordinator is until it may be too late.

ButI still don't think you guys should get all mad and stuff at 1badtour for this, as he still gives posts sometimes when the data does change on his end.

I ain't mad at Micah for selling me a hokey POS bumper, but I just look at it as a learning lesson in life

Please understand that Adam has only been giving updates lately because he has been getting pressure from CEG admins. If it wasn't for perry, I don't think we'd be hearing from Adam on the GB at all. This is all while he posts regularly in other threads. While I think it is admirable that you're sticking up for him, I don't think he deserves it at this point, as his continued contact with GB participants is forced, not voluntary.

IIRC don't get the import intelligence ones as they are a crappy vinyl overlay, not an actual gauge face replacement.

Rick

Crappy because they're overlays and not replacements, or crappy because of quality?

I've had no problems with my bnoon gauges which are overlays.

We're working on this part. Hopefully 1BADTOUR keeps this up and is more forthcoming with information.

I don't mean to be an a$$, but do you have to hold his hand through everything? I think everyone has been more than reasonable in dealing with Adam's delays, un-kept promises, and overall avoidance of this situation. Yes, I agree that I wouldn't want to be in his shoes and I would continue my wait if I accutally thought that I was going to get anything back from Adam. But I am now convinced that Adam is doing nothing to rectify this situation and will continue to delay and prolong the pain of this for everyone. You stated earlier that banning Adam would only kill off all communication about this Group Buy. Honestly I think he should be banned, and people should just forget about the whole situation as long as Adam cannot return to the site. May seem harsh, but he's just going to continue to delay and d!ck people over. He's only prooven this to be true over and over. Why would he stop if he continues to get away with it. Not disciplining bad behavior is the same thing as condoning it.

I got my money back, but ummm did we ever figure out the company that was making these?

Originally posted by MapOfTaziFoSho:

Adam has so far refused to tell us. The only indication we have as to his source is way back in this thread he mentions that Cardoc is his contact on the GB. I have no idea where Cardoc gets the gauges from.

Originally posted by 1BADTOUR:

Ask Bnoon?

El Glow was the company that made them for Brad. However these did come through Dominic so sounds like we might need to talk to him and see what he knows.

As far as Import intelligence goes, by overlay I meant a piece of vinyl you stick over the existing guages, Brad made a piece that included a hard plastic backer so you replaced the actual face piece.

Rick

There should be a rather large update coming within the next day or so...

Ok before someone trys to lay the blame on cardoc, Cardoc had nothing to do with the rest of the group buy after the first 10 sets where recived, he told me he couldn't wait that long for me to get enough buyers paid, so I went and found another company that made the same product just a little different. I then went ahead and ordered and paid for the rest of the gauges with hvacs. I waited for them to come in and when they did they were all missed up like I told everyone, so I sent them back to make new ones and thats when the company gave me the run around. I know I should have told everyone about this but I just wanted my gauges and hvac and thought no one would care, but thats when it blew up in my face and I had issues with the company. I hope everyone understands why I did what I did and be assured your very close to everyone getting a refund.

I've been pretty much silent about this, up until this point because pretty much I was writing it off as a loss. Yet everytime I read things, such as those said above, it makes me mad.

Again like I have said multiple times, the timing (say about 2-3 months) is out of his hands. This is due to the time it took some people to come up with the money. Although, with that said there really is no excuse about the lack of communication and lack of information that people involved in this group buy have received. There is no need to counter for him or speak on behalf of the guy, because he should be doing that for himself. Assuming what he is doing, or hearing by word-of-mouth what his plans are, may or may not be his exact intentions.

Why were we never advised of the company who produces these gauges?
Why no legal actions?
Just a bunch of nothing.....and it's not only frustrating it pisses people off.

It's cool to stick up for one of your friends, buddies, whomever........but sometimes things need to come directly from the source, not a 'spokesperson'.

And why is it that people like to play Financial Advisor....or like to address other's and their financial standing? It really is no one's business, why someone wants THEIR money back for something they did not receive. After all it is THEIR'S and they need not answer to anyone about what rightly, and fully, belongs to them. Whether it is 80 dollars or 8000 dollars. Why even bother doing it? Why tell someone what they should and shouldn't do? Not trying to offend, but that is just wrong to do.......it's almost like judging someone or looking down on them. Everyone deserves to spend a little cash on something they want. They did after all earn it, didn't they?

Originally posted by 1BADTOUR:

Here, when all you got was 10 guage sets, and say that everything else was bad.. all you really had were 10 guage sets from Cardoc and nothing else, correct? Did someone else really have the rest of the money at that time?

When did you place the order with the second company?

You've been assuring people that they were close to getting a refund for a couple months now. Somehow, your assurance isn't very reassuring.

So let me get this correct, this was off to a bad start before hand........and you never mentioned it to anyone the whole time??????

Quote:

So essentially you were looking out for yourself, even though you had other people's money you were playing with? Is that what is being said in so many words?

I thought, I was being more than reasonable and patient even after hearing about the issues you encountered way back (whenever it was, I don't even remember). But now I'm really ticked off because what you did was wrong and you know it........glad you finally came right out and told us 8 months after the fact.

It sounds like you dug your own grave buddy.....now you must lay in it.

While I won't dispute anything in the previous post(s), let me just say to *please* hang tight everyone. The moderators (myself included as a participant in this GB) have been working *very* hard for the last few weeks to sort out this mess, which has included some intense discussion. We have learned of new developments and info recently, some of which has already come to light. But *please* let perry handle this for right now. I'm bordering on seething anger right now myself, but in the interests of the community, I'm going to hold off on saying anything more until we have things sorted out. I know many of you don't know me, but I'm asking you to trust me until the full story is ironed out.

Here's what Cardoc sent to another moderator when quizzed about this group buy.

Quote:

"Here's the deal,

Lets get a few pieces of important information out in the open here and completely clear.

EL Glow is NOT the producer of these gauges. Whomever Brad Noon told that to, he is way off. I never told Brad who they were made by - He never asked. Therefore, we can both sit here and wonder where that came from.

Yes, I did agree to supply Adam Prewitt (aka FCO LuckyTour and CEG 1BadTour) with gauges provided he get the required amount of pre-orders sold and paid to place an order with the manufacturer.

My contact is a business partner in Houston, TX that gets the gauges imported from Taiwan from a major company (I don't need to name them). They are not EL Glow - and aren't even associated with them, however they make about 60% of the gauges on the market. Contacts are very limited due to the company being located in Taiwan.

When Adam originally set the GB up, I told him a max window of 90 days. I really don't think it's prudent for a gauge order of more than 50 to be delayed more than that. He kept emailing/PM'ing me that he had the orders - And was going to send me the money. Well, the money he sent to me (which was for only the gauges that I shipped to him and can assume were the same gauges he shipped out to his customers) bought him the gauges I still had in stock... (Hadn't even ordered them yet from Taiwan because he only sent me payment for 8 or 10 gauge sets).

The GB started in July of 2003, was supposed to be finished in October (the absolute latest). Well, come November he said alot of people had backed out - And that he may have to throw the money in to get it done. I didn't hear anything for another month - Same story. Now it's January 2004.... I wrote him informing him that the GB was off, I'm finished with the stalling. My contact in Houston had closed his business late December which lost me my only contact to the manufacturer. Therefore, it was out of my hands and I suggested that he proceed to issue refunds as there was no chance of getting the gauges to him.

I heard no response from him. I have not nor am I sitting on ANY money from the GB. I have not answered any questions on CEG because it is Adam's responsibility to inform his customers. I kinda figured that this would be the outcome as it is with most venders that sell on CEG (PitStop Brakes just listed in our GB area due to a failed GB attempt on CEG where people signed up and backed out ...). So, goes to the norm for what I expected.

If I can answer anything else, let me know. I wish to stay out of this whole thing, as I was asked to procure these gauges - And the GB never materialized. Therefore, I have nothing to do with this but the fact that he bought 8 or 10 gauge sets off of me for people that have already recieved their gauges.

-Dom"

We saw pictures of the 10 guage only sets that were bought from Cardoc, but none of the bad guages or HVACs that I can recall. Odd.

So Cardoc called off the group buy in January. When was the money sent to the second company? When were the bad guages recieved?

1BADTOUR, why don't you come completely clean with everyone? Stop the lies and half-truths. Tell the full story.

I have had a feeling that it was coming to this the whole time...

Something always seemed fishy and I was the only A$$hole that would speak up. I spoke up so much that he paid me off first hoping that I would shut up. I did, but now I just can't wait to find out WTF happened and if I am correct about about my accusations and assumptions.

After reading Cardoc's response, we can come to the conclusion that Adam either sent off the rest of the money to a totally different company (that no one knows about except Adam), or just kept the money himself.

Did your horse come in last Adam, and the bookie said "Pay up!" ????

Ooo... Ooo... say it again and maybe it'll come true!

NOT LIKELY!!!!!

Here's my recap on this situation. I'm so angry that I can't sleep right now, so I might as well do something productive here.

Originally posted by Cardoc:
Well, come November he said alot of people had backed out - And that he may have to throw the money in to get it done. I didn't hear anything for another month - Same story. Now it's January 2004.... I wrote him informing him that the GB was off, I'm finished with the stalling.

Read Adam's post on 10/21/2003 (and again on 10/30/2003). He officially announces that he has all the paid people he needs (yes, all 25+), is putting in the order, and the gauges would be ready in two weeks.

He then posts on 11/15/2003 that the order has been placed (no mention of only paying for 10 gauges) and he's just waiting on them. There are a lot of posts at this point wondering what's going on, but NO ONE backs out. In fact, most people are saying that they trust Adam will come through and "I'm sure he's a busy guy." This directly contradicts what he tells Cardoc, that "... alot (sic) of people had backed out..."

On 11/26/2003, Adam reports that he has received ALL (direct quote) of the gauges, but half the order was "messed up." As perry points out, exactly 10 gauges are pictured, which coincides with Cardoc's statement that Adam bought 8-10 gauges sets off of him.

December comes and goes, and once again no one appears to back out (unless by PM, but Adam makes no mention of such a thing). The day after Christmas he starts shipping what he has. At this point I'd like to point out that Josch reports that he has received his gauges. So, that explains why he's so quick to come to the aid of Adam. I'm sorry, but that makes your criticism of me and the rest of us who have been screwed over even more inane. If you wish to discuss this further, feel free to PM me.

The new year starts to bring some dissension in the ranks where some start showing some frustration and ask Adam to investigate the delays in replacing the alleged "messed up" gauges. wa2tuff points out that they (the company or Adam?) has over $2000 of our money. Adam posts on 1/29/2004 (almost a month after his last post) to say that nothing has changed. I still haven't seen anyone back out at this point, but its possible I missed one somewhere. Adam posts on 1/29/2004 to clear up confusion as to the order of the paid list. Here's where it gets fun. On 1/31/2004 Adam posts that:

Originally posted by 1BADTOUR:
I'm pushing these people as much as I can, they keep telling me they are working on filling the rest of the order and it will be the end of february before they get shipped. I only ask for your understanding in this and I want you all to know I'm not going to let anyone in this group buy get screwed. I'm doing my best.

By this point we must assume Cardoc has contacted him to say the GB is off, but Adam does not mention this. In fact, this entire post is a complete and utter lie. Oh, BTW, Adam has his gauges installed.

Finally on 2/12/2004, JETNBYA posts the first "I want out" message. On 2/20/2004 Adam begins his long string of "I'm trying to get a refund, just be patient" posts. The same day, I recommend getting an address/phone number for the GB participants to start a campaign to put pressure on the company. Skrilla187 gets his gauges three days later.

March comes, and most of the posts are downright angry. Plus Adam has slowed updates to once every two or three weeks. On 3/12/2004, BURNTU2 demands his money back (#2). On 3/16/2004 Adam posts that he'll buy out the people who want a refund at the rate of about one person per week. More angry posts (myself included) and on 3/25/2004 Adam goes on a rant (can you believe this?) and accuses me of violating forum rule #7. He also puts me at the top of the buyout list because I'm a squeeky wheel (which I later decline). After a more humane discussion he promises to post weekly.

At this point, the thread degenerates to the point it is at right now, which includes Adam lying about how often he is able to visit CEG. Most of what Adam posts is contradictory to Cardoc's information.

I've reached the end of my tolerance of this. This is no longer about $80 of my money (especially compared to the Kaotic mess). This is now about lying and theft.

So what's going to be done about this Perry?
What can we CEG'ers do at this point?

He swindled over $2,000 from us all...

I know somebody out there has his personal information and knows his where abouts...we need to persue this and bring him to justice(legally)!

Actually I was considering filling a complaint through the FBI's Internet Fraud website. The only thing we have to go on is his location, and the fact that there are pictures of his car with the liscense plate on it floating randomly over the internet.......I guess we could pull an IP address from somewhere as well.

There is the link if anyone wants to look it over, I'm sure if there are any complaints filed there needs to be an address of some sort.
Internet Fraud

It sucks, but that's what happens when you screw people over.

Has anyone contacted Paypal to report this as a bad transaction or did anyone pay by check? If so, you should have his address or contact information and then you've got a lot more to go on.

It might be helpful if someone can post up that information so you can contact him via registered mail or phone if he is non-responsive on here.

Thanks,
Rick

I think the whole issue with Paypal is that their hands are tied after 30 days, or something like that. I don't know the exact ramifications behind it though.

There's not much I can do, unfortunately. I'm not the law, if 1BADTOUR keeps playing games, you guys will have to use the law to help you out I'm afraid.

Yeah I have his address from when he sent me my 35 bucks. I had a feeling (No I KNEW) that this was what was going on. I even called him out on it over PM's. Basically I don't think the company ever exsisted. He took the money paid for the first 10 sets, came up with a BS story about the other's being screwed up, (we never saw pics)

. Then he thought he could use this story and pay us all off or buy sets of gauges off ebay for ppl who wouldn't give up...now his dumbass has spent all the money(probably). He's scared and lost like a little baby. He also threatened me with the forum rules...

I have my measly 35$ wow...I just want to see some justice and hopefully the money for the rest of the guys.

Ya know and if we don't get him...karma police will.

Originally posted by 1BADTOUR:
Ok big update. Good news, look what the UPS man brought me yesterday. I got all of the gauges, but they really messed up half the order so I called them up, yelled, and got them to start working on fixing the rest of the gauges immediately. So I have ten without HVAC's that can be shipped out if ya'll want to hook up just the gauges and wait untill the HVAC's come in. If ya'll just want to wait for the complete order that will be fine too.

Ok now the bad news is, it will take 2 months to get the rest of the gauges. I'd just refund the money to you guys who have to wait 2 months, but they already have it. I'm truly sorry about this mess, but half the gauges were all messed up. Because of this I will go ahead and ship out the ones I have if you want, there a no HVAC's, they messed up on the print and it looked like crap. They will be making new HVAC's and everyone that ordered one will get a HVAC when the rest of the order comes in.

I'll give the 11th person on the list my gauges if ya'll want to go ahead and just get part of your order. Once again I'm sorry about how this group buy is going, but my hands are tied. Please hang in there and know that I'm not trying to screw anybody out of there money.:( I will post only when I have heard something from them or when I get the gauges which ever comes first. There really is no reason to update when there is nothing to update, unless ya'll want to hear I haven't heard anything every week. I'm not meaning to sound rude but I'm just trying to help people understand.

Also on a personal note the reason I haven't updated is because I have been working from 4pm to 4am everyday the last week. I just want everyone in this group buy to know that I have a job to hold down and if I can't find time to update about nothing, then it would be nice for some people to not get on here and drag my name through the mud. So I guess I'm just asking some people to be patient, you will get your gauges. Thanks and if you need anything PM me.

BTW this here was the biggest crock ever. He was fcuking us over from the very start...

Here's where some of the money may have went...

If he was planning on putting 1G towards his car by Spring Zing, why could he only pay people off one at a time?

God forbid he actually do the right thing and actually pay people their money back. The way I see it, especially after reading that post, is if he was actually going to pay you back WILLINGLY, he would have by now. He's had plenty of time and obviously enough money to put 1G into his own car. Has any legal action ever been considered?

OMFG he could not be SOOO stupid. I had NO clue about all this stuff. Hilarious. So my thoughts coincide with information he willingly posted!!! Or Maybe I am completely making this up in my mind, but it seems to fit just fine.

Both my parents are attorney's I will be speaking with them this afternoon.

I think its been spent. I can't prove it (at least by the letter of the law) because its hearsay and circumstancial, but someone informed me that Adam was buying merchandise using Paypal for exactly $80 (the rest in cash). Coincidence? Hmmm....

So ya...

...and so the plot thickens.

Sorry for defending the guy earlier. That is pretty low to continue satisfying your personal desires with your money when you owe many other people

He still owes me my HVAC set. But I probably will just count it off as lost.
Sorry if I posted before in defense without really knowing all the facts. That is a sign of immaturity on my behalf.
I just always try to give people who seem reasonable, the benefit of the doubt, but he is starting to look more like a coward/weasel with no backbone everyday.

Good luck to you guys. I hope you all get your money.

I'm taking my Indiglos out anyway and selling them. Probably with the whole instrument cluster, all set and caliberated. I decided on something else anyway. The Indiglos are just too bright and bother my eyes at night, even on the lowest intensity setting. So any of you need a cluster with indiglo for a '95 to '97 Contour? Or I would separate them for anybody who maybe wants them for their '98+

Anyways, again I'm sorry for being a stupid pee

Someone should drive to his town steal his car and keep it till he pays everyone off. Geez I wasnt in on this mess thank god, but seriously someone in OK should pay him a visit.

Wow...nobody contemplated doing THAT before.

In all honesty, I know the guys that have been sabotaged by this buy gone bad have heard this thousands of times already but I do wish all of you well...somehow.

the side pieces are [censored], they look like crap, the words are clear, and traction control is spelled traotion control. I have these at home. I hope the quality is much better in the set you make. I am currently selling mine (spoken for i think) but they are not very good.

No updates yet, huh?

Well, I will be filing for Mail Fraud through the U.S. Postal Service. Once he has the feds on him, I think he'll start to realize you don't pull this [censored] anymore.

Don't get mad. Get even.

perry- can we archive this thread for legal reasons please?

I am doing the same, only I plan on filling an Internet Fraud Report with the FBI, the link is as follows for those that intend on doing the same.....at least he can pay some restitution or something:
http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

If i hear nothing in the next few days i will file a complaint also.

Don't hold your breath. It seems like 1BADTOUR cut and run. I wouldn't believe a word coming from his mouth regarding refunds or product. If he were to say the sky is blue, I'd have to walk outside and check.

Dionysus, this thread has been here for a year now. I don't think it's going anywhere. However, I'd suggest printing it out if you want a permanent record of it.

can you not see when his last login was?

Well if he did in fact cut and run. I have his address. My friend still had the full amount tied up in this.

Originally posted by MapOfTaziFoSho:

Yea, I mean as far as the forums are concerned. It's been about a month since he last posted in this thread. Some folks have mentioned having his phone number as well, has anyone called him?

He last logged in to the site on the 5th, but doesn't mean he isn't just browsing the forums anonymously.

I cant believe how patient some people are with this guy. If I was involved in this group buy and have gotten nothing, no money, updates and it went this far I would be calling Adams house about 20 times a day. Why dont the people who have his number post it so those involved in his scam can call him hundreds of times a day make his life a hell till he changes the phone number call him all hours of the night. Some people it seems dont care if they lose $80, hell I'd pissed as hell.

I would guess his address.

tazi, and whomever has any information on this guy. let's publish his phone # and address here now. then we can all hassle him until he comes clean.

Adam himself posted his address in this very thread. I can vouch for its validity one year ago, as I sent him a personal check which he received and cashed.

Like hetfield said, he posted his info in the thread. I even reposted it a page or two back (or three or four

I'm sick and tired of everybody in this group buy sitting on there butts not doing a damn thing about this. Everybody is talking about what could be done...but no action has been taken. I live in northern california, but I'll spend the $500 bucks to go visit Adam. and I'm not leaving Adam until the 2K he stole from everybody is paid back. I'll repo his damn car and auction it off if need be. $80 isnt worth chasing after him...but with everybody together, $2,000 is DEF worth pursuing him. PUT A PLAN TOGETHER GUYS. ADAMN NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO PAY US ALL BACK.

Anyone who mailed him thier money could probably report him to the US Postal Inspection Service for mail fraud. Takes all of five minutes, and since you are already on the internet...

Never thought of that but very true.

looks like 1BADTOUR is about to have 1BADFEDERALCASE against him...sad...hes going to have a federal record before he is 30...and they will get him....as long as the victims follow through with this case. I know, found out, my neighbor had mail frauded one person and the arrested him....one person complained from what i found out and they got him.

1BADTOUR, you SOB! Everytime I think of this, I get pissed off. I just hope everyone involved in this scam of yours takes the time to file a complaint! I got to tell you, you piece of (censored), I might be in the freakin twilight of my years (not really, I just feel like it sometimes), but if I was closer to you, you'd be one sorry SOB! I wouldn't have to be a Navy S.E.A.L. to know what to do!

And 1314, my apology. I don't mean to start anything, but sometimes I just have to vent.

I wasn't involved in this, but I have been keeping up..

You guys have his address, why not get some people near OK to give him a visit? I'm sure he'd pee his pants if a couple of you showed up on his door step...

I'm not really sure what it would solve, but I know it would be damn funny to hear about. And why not rough him up a little? Seems like he needs to be tought a lesson imo..

Keep posting the updates.. Did anyone contact the cops in his area? Has anyone got through on the phone??

This guy did you guys wrong.. Something needs to be done.

Adam got screwed, too; don't forget that. It's not like he's rich or anything. What can he do about it? I'd suggest you guys stop making stupid, pointless threats, and get over it. I lost money, too.. oh, well. It was less than $100. With GB's like this, comes risk.

Life goes on.

Tim

Seems to me like he got himself in a bad situation that he has no idea how to get out of...

How did Adam get screwed? Let's do the simple math... He took money for over 25 kits, but he purchased and sent out 10.

$80 x >25 = >$2000
$80 x 10 = $800

That leaves Adam with $1200. How many refunds did he send out? Three? Maybe four? He still walked away with several hundred dollars (and that's conservative). If you have a different way of interpreting the numbers please let us know. Otherwise, it sounds like you're pretty much condoning theft. %^*@

How did Adam get screwed in all of this? Please point it out for me, because that blows me away.

Yup your right its 85 dollars, but it was my 85 dollars, not his to take and squander away. Adam should have sucked it up along time ago, and been an adult/man about it. Instead he continued to dig himself in deeper and deeper.

The fact is there are no excuses, he shouldn't have volunteered his services if he could not follow through with the product or at the very least a full refund! Plain and simple!

One thing I do have to say is, that you live and learn.

Adam got screwed too? What an utterly stupid statement. If it's no big deal, why don't you send me $85 and we'll call it even, you moron. IIMC, it wasn't too long ago that the thief in question posted about his new mods. Guess that was just a coincidence??

You are all just sprouting out ignorant and belligerently angry comments out of frustration. You get backed into a corner by a bad situation so you let the true facts of the issue get mowed over by rage and contempt, while not even trying to see the situation from both angles.

You guys paid Adam, Adam paid El Glow, and El glow screwed him out of a lot of money by messing up his orders and then refusing to resolve the situation when he confronted them about it. Beyond that, I have no earthly idea what happened to him, why he dissapeared, what's going on with this supposed "case," or if anyone else will even get their money back.

To be honest, though, if I had to deal with the same kind of threats (legal and physical) that you guys tossed around at Adam (who if you knew him in RL, you would know he's a very good person), I'd probably just walk away, too. Though not excusing the fact that he doesn't appear to be even trying to deal with this situation anymore, I will say that it's only human nature to overlook the fact that there's two sides to every bad situation (and Adam DID get screwed in this just the same as everyone else).

As for what his next move is, I wouldn't put a single penny on it. I don't even own my Mystique any more, so I'm done with this thread.

He did not pay EL Glow. Read this post.

That does look fishy, Perry. Adam is a friend in RL, so my opinion is obviously going to be biased, nor does it really matter right now as nothing I'm going to say is going to change the fact that a lot of people got stiffed out of their money, but the last point I will make here is that some people that you meet you just absolutely know for certain are incapable of wrong-doing.

But the facts obviously speak for themselves (unless there's other facts we don't know), so I'm done here. I just hope you guys end up getting your money back, or gauges. At the very least, I hope that Adam at leasts gives you a good explanation for all of this.

Best of luck,
Tim

Why even talk about it anymore? Everyone talks alot of [censored] and takes no action. Yeah I lost some money but you dont hear me bitchin about it all the time. Give it up or actually do something!

Any ideas beside this? http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/cf1.asp If I lived near Tecumseh, OK, you could be sure I'd be knockin on his door. I wonder if anyone involved with this lives near him?

Friend or no friend, he didn't take responsibility for his own actions.....that's no rumor it's truth, and it's evident.

On top of that, I'm sure he doesn't need a spokesperson to speak for him, so you should let it be like you are telling everyone else to.

I am mad, and I have right to be....even if I don't own my Contour anymore. What he did was illegal, and it will catch up with him in the long run.

"No, Adam just happens to be a friend, who's in a bad situation right now.

Now get lost, a$$hole,

Tim"

That was my message from Tim.
Ok, so if my friend is a liar, theif, or rapist, I am still going to stand by his side, hold his hand and make excuses for him. Adam is in a bad situation? Adam is a theif who stole from us. We are in a bad situation, not Adam. Adam planned this from the beginning. People like Tim who defend and protect Adam should be banned from posting in this group buy. Sounds like Tim is sleeping with the enemy.
You get lost Tim, this doesn't involve you or your money.

Well, when you send a message like this, what the hell do you expect I'm going to say to you

I wished I lived close to you. Seeing how you dont mind people robbing you, I'd steal from you as well. You must be a liberal democrat. You sure sound like it.

You sound like the typical conservative republican clunk-head that doesn't stop to consider that other-people have problems and bad situations that they might be in as well. I've already wished everyone my best in this and applied my sympathy to both sides, but you try and drag me through the mud.

If you wouldn't stand up and defend your friends when the crowd is about to lynch them, burn, then you have no absolutely values at all, and I could care less whether or not you learn that lesson someday. Jonas sure didn't until after the Romans had already crucified Jesus.

Nice try,

Tim

Blah blah blah...regardless if he is still in a bad situation, he has cut all ties with thoes here by not giving updates, and people are forced to use alternative methods....If he really is in trouble like you say, by dissapearing and not being honest and truthful, he has made himself the bad guy and the focus of peoples anger.

And the fact that HE (not a antoher party) took the money, he is resonsible for every single one who has not recieved product or refund.

weather or not he spent CEGers money, i don;t know....but form what i do know form his business preactices alone, he gets what he deserves.

Adam's problem is that he's a theif. Adam is in a bad situation because he planned this from the beginning but got caught. You want to defend him constantly and stand up for your thief of a friend, go right ahead, the crowd will lynch you along with him. Sympathy to both sides? Give me a break. John Kerry could use you in his campaign.

other people have problems and bad situations? So Adam needed money so he stole from us? Are you justifying his actions Tim?

I guess that makes you a poor judge of character Tim.

Yeah, Adam was in such a bad way during the group buy that he went out and bought mods for his car. You know, important things like subwoofers and this stuff.

Instead of that... How about putting him on Bush 2's staff, and list of fellow cronies? Seems like a more suitable position for a theif like this. He'd fit right in!

There was no need to bring any politics into this discussion.

i've been busy recently, but here's the low down. I filed my complaint with the IFCCfbi.gov. I then was able to contact the local sheriff's office down in Tecumseh (thanks to someone who posted it Here , tttc, mad props) i spoke with someone named LT. Kidney. He processed my complaint and was very polite, went HIMSELF by adam's address: 211 Church Dr Tecumseh, OK 74873. Found adam's car in the driveway, ran his plates and confirmed it was his. Also noted the "www.contour.org" sticker on his window.

That was all about a month ago.

I have received a letter dated 9/16 from the Office of Attorney General State of Oklahoma. It contains, another complaint form. I will be filling this out and returning it. I strongly suggest that you all do the same as i've done. the more voices heard, the quicker action will be taken.

It's too bad it had to come down to this mess.

Hopefully this will prevent future problems.

I received the same letter, and I am filling it out this evening. I cannot believe this guy has still not been prosecuted.

P.S. My car is sold, but I have a set of E1 wheels I will let go cheap to someone picking them up here in Los Angeles.

Tim you are a complete @ss. You didn't lose any of your money, so don't tell other people how to feel. Yes they lost, yes they knew there was a risk, but you have no right to say what happened. I agree, send me $85 and won't give you anything. Sound good? If ELglow screwed everyone out of their money, why is no one going after them? Because they didn't. @ss wipe just walked away w/ everyone's money. If you don't even have a Contique anymore, *uck off. Goodbye and good ridance. @sshole.

sorry im new to this. so can you not get these at all now?

I lost money too (never got my gauges). In most situations, there are always more facts than meet the eye (especially on this one). That's my only point. Most people forget that. In any case, that bit is getting tired and old.

It seems since we both lost money, Matt, we are entitled to make asses of ourselves. I'm glad I have company now. Only difference is it took me several posts and a difference of opinion, but it only took you a paragraph and a hop on the bandwagon.

Cheers

I enjoyed that

Yeah garretto, send your $85 to 1badtour. Didn't you even read at least one page of this? Read my post even! Think before your post!

well yeah i have been reading, looks like somebody got scammed.

Does anyone have anymore info? I havent received a letter or heard back from the FBI on anything. Does anyone know what else has been going on?

At this point I dont care if I get my money back or not, Im doing this for the fact of the matter. Thats a [censored] load of money to have from so many people, and its really pissing me off that its taken so long to get anything done.

I can potty by myself
