most people paid already. I paid and emailed him and he said my sills were shiiping out in a week and a half or so. Not sure cause he has a lot to do so he can only give very rough estimate.

Ya....you were suppose to pay upfront. I paid the following day after the GB ended. I still haven't gotten it yet cause I got beige.

Why wasn't beige the standard color as oppose to black? It could of gone either way. It's not like black is the dominant interior color. Hmmmmm...........

Well, I'm really looking forward to getting it. This will be my FIRST mod, hehehehe.....lame right.

i think the regular colored sills will look better on a completely black car, at least to match pedals and stuff

regular sill = all aluminum
colored sill = black letters on aluminum
stock pedals = all black

wouldnt the colored sill match better?

Say what??? I'm all confused now!

Custom colored sills are the colors of the aluminum and lettering??

When I read the original post, it said the sill were standard black...black PLASTIC for black interiors. "Custom" meant that you wanted beige plastic for beige interior.

This sounds like the aluminum and lettering will be beige. I hope not.

...............................
................. ok the regular price of 50 bucks buys you 2 door sills that are made out of aluminum and have no color on them, and the words acura cl are kinda beveled on the aluminum sill.

60 bucks will get you a custom sill a.k.a. a color sill, this means that the sill will still be made out of aluminum with the only difference being that you can have the words acura-cl filled in as either black, beige, red, etc. got it

Is it still possible to get it on that? I saw a picture of a Cl with them and really liked them. If its too late to get in on the group buy I would still like to know the source. Thanks.

Oh snap!

My interior is beige, so I thought "customizing it" was getting the plastic in beige instead of black/charcoal. And the Aluminum and lettering was standard polish silver.

So the sills don't come with a new lower plastic sill with the aluminum attached. From the picture, it looked like the kit was a plastic lower sill with the aluminum on the outter lip. And it would cover the entire lower sill.

It's just the aluminum strip?

Nope.

I did Paypal on the next day, Thursday Feb 27. So it's been about two weeks. I never got an answer on turn-around time for the standard sills, so I imagine at least a week plus shipping time. Take into account that he probably didn't start production till maybe the following Monday so that he'd have a chance to get some payments in.

I'd give it till next Monday to start hearing about people getting their sills.

riped off? or ripped off?


i don't see a need to jump to conclusions.
i'm sure jeff will come through for all of us.
of course, my ass is being laid off soon... so
that is delaying my payment to him.

i'm sure he needs a little bit of time to send
those door sills to everyone.

also, he should update us with a list of members
who paid, and those who have not.

Guys, here is the update. They started shipping yesterday. The bulk will go out today. But only 12 people have paid us so far. There are a couple of calls I have to return regarding payment, and emails, so I'd say we're up to about half have paid.

CJ, I have not gotten your M/O yet. Please email me the exact address you sent it to. I've checked the mail every day now, and nothing.

Damond, your silver sills are shipping today. The beige ones we made for you actually ended up a cool shade of gold. So if anyone is interested in gold sills, email me.


As for those who weren't sure about payment options, email me at apsignworks@hotmail.com Or call my cell at 678-468-9041.

For those who have emailed me, I'll respond by the end of today. I've just got a lot to go through. My inbox has something like 198 unread messages from the last 2 days. I've been taking care of some things at the shop and have been away from the office.

That's the update for now I guess.

Update: I emailed Jeff this morning. He sent a response within 20 minutes. And I called in to make my American Express payment.

Thanks again Jeff

My sills should ship out in the next day or two.

I look forward to them.


No one should worry about their orders, Jeff sounds like a good guy to work with. And I'm sure he'll come through for everyone.

jeff replied to my emails well after the gb ended. Replied the same day if I can remember right when I asked him to confirm my payment and estimated shipping timeframe. He's probably just busy people.

Really?! That would be sweet if I had gold trims. Thanks for adjusting my order Jeff.

Only 12 people have paid??!! Lets get the guys from 2nd Gen forum to fill in the slots.

no, people who had committed to the groupbuy should stick to their word and follow through with the order. it's not fair to jeff that only half of the people thus far, completed their orders.

we should get a list together of the people who committed to the groupbuy, and check off the ones who have sent payment.

I paid and never heard from Jeff yet. I'll keep checking my email, but no word from him.

Jeff, If you do see this, I'll take the gold sills instead and paypal you the difference. Give me a shout and let me know.

Depending on where you got the MO from. You should just cancel it/put a stop payment on it.

Yeah, I'm waiting on my confirmation number as well.


Maybe Jeff scammed us?
I'm gonna call the FBI on him!
j/k

I don't think anyone should worry. I'm sure Jeff has
his hands full at the moment.
If we all can be a bit more patient, he will come through
for us.

It was funny when he told me that a couple guys on the TL forum threatened to call the FBI on him, when their orders took a little longer.

Just curious, do we know how many people have paid? It's not really fair that X number of people put their orders in, and only half of them paid.

you guys sent it by regular US postal?
that's a

what are you guys going to do if it's lost in the mail???

why not just spend an extra few bucks to have it sent
via certified mail??? or fedex?

i called Jeff and paid with my American Express Gold.

so, if he was crooked.... i would just call Amex and they
would dispute the charge.
no worries on my end.

but Jeff seems cool, so he'll come through.

UPS? what are you talking about?
A money order is not a package....


Shit, are we talking about the same thing here?

I'm referring to the method that you guys are using
to send in your payments.

Not what Jeff is using to ship our door sills.

aren't there issues with paypal as well?

let's say for instance, the seller does not ship the product?
how do you get your money back? is your money protected
through paypal?

i prefer the direct approach, and work with a credit card.
it's much less hassle free, in my opinion.
