Attention ATL CLers!!!!!!!!

For those who purchased the aluminum door sills (or who may be interested), there's a need for someone to volunteer their car for a test fit.

Any takers?

Check out this post in Car Talk by Austin519.

Since I went the first time and his shop is pretty close to me, I'll give him a call today and see what the deal is. If he needs me for a test fit again, I'll be glad to do it. I'll post with results.

called him up and left a message on his vm to call me back and tell me what's going on with the first gen sills. I'll keep you posted when he calls back.

You're the man!

If what Austin says it true, then they're done, but just need to be test fitted!

I've been waiting a month for them, and look forward to receiving them!

PM soopa, and ask for $20.00 out of a-cl.com's "petty cash"!

Many thanks!

None. He emailed me a few times, asking for my #, but never called. Was supposed to meet up with him last week, he never called. Seems he's real busy, but this is getting rediculous, you got guys with 2gen bitching that their sills are a month late, while we've been waiting for almost a quarter of a year!

I sure hope everyone on this thread is going to hot import nights...you can meet the trim guy (Jeff) in person and bitch him out . Plus you will be the first to see a trim kit done...and last but not least I'll be showcasing a new mod I plan on groupbuying...

AtlCl has taken care of the test fit.

Here's what the 2nd Gen sills look like:



Check the first post in this thread for a link to the original group buy.

This Jeff guy doesn't know a thing about good business. My brother has been waiting on his sills forever. He told me he saw Jeff at Hot Import Nights and when he asked him about the sills he just kinda laughed it off.

Maybe you guys should tell Jeff that if he doesn't get his sh!t together that this will be the last time you deal with him.

Has anyone gone down to talk to him?
If need be, I'll be happy to go with them. We gotta support each other about these things or we'll never get things on time.

Whaddya think?

Although generally I'd approve of this Rob it's not needed here. Jeff's doing okay...he is backordered pretty badly on the CL sills...which is the reason for the wait. Basically everyone ordered in 3 big clumps...and he wasn't prepared because he didn't want to cut a ton of sills and then not sell them. But they're coming. You'll notice most people have gotten their tracking #'s now. As for your bro, if he's on this forum...then he read there WOULD be a wait, it wasn't an instantaneous thing...and has nothing to do with business practices. I talk to Jeff a couple of times a week and would be happy to relay your concerns, but I think a visit would only slow himd own.

Well I'm glad to hear that you guys are finally getting your stuff, I just hate to see people doing bad business. I got messed up like that B4 and it just pisses me off when I think it's going to happen again.
Jeff, if you're reading, nothing personal. Business is business. Next time just send out an e-mail or something as soon as you know you'll be late with the orders. People get nervous when they pay money and don't know where it went. Just a thought.

Thanks for not biting my head off Austin. Usually people act like a$$holes as soon as you make a mistake about stuff like this.

Nah, I understand where you're coming from...no need to flame you or anything. It's a genuine concern, and I understand. But, I do want to point out one thing. It doesn't really make sense that Jeff would now try to screw everyone over. Why? Because he's shipped out like 110 sets of door sills. So what, he's going to take that money from the last 50 or so people and run? Doesn't make sense. Plus I know where he lives, I know him and his fiancee, I've been to his house, his shop, etc. It just doesn't make sense that people would suggest this knowing all the facts...but you didn't know any of this so I understand.

My sills arrived on Tuesday!

I installed them this AM, and they look great!

The only bitch is that one of them won't stay completely glued to the plastic sill. One end keeps popping up!

I cleaned the plastic sills w/ alcohol before installation, so they're very clean.

Any suggestions?

Hmm. You use a silicon or similar conditioner on the car huh? You can ask Jeff for primer, which you'd rather not use because it's a pain, and that should neutralize the silicon sealant and promote adhesion.

Those are for the 02 TL Type S...yours will be similiar and the lettering will be lighter in color (that was a pre-production model). But you get to see the look of the lettering and metal...
