He got held up by an emergency or something. He was not able to fill a few orders and people threw a fit.

He hand makes them, give him a break.

Take it easy killer thats why i put a (?) at the end of the question. The hoods look good and i dont mind waiting but getting a hold of him is proving to be challenging. I am still waiting on a intercooler i paid 600 bucks for from a member on a MSP forum over 8 months ago. So you can understand why i am a little gun shy.

Sorry, I just thought you were trying to make him look bad in the third person.

Just looking out for the little guy!

Yeah he did have a few issues, but he is working it all out with everyone. He's a stand up guy I can vouch for that and will not screw anyone over. I would contact him first and inquire about it, how much how long etc etc. But it is def worth the wait for a top quality hand laid fiberglass hood, unlike most other companies whose are mold injected. I have seen both the WS9(mine)and a Superhawk in person before and after paint and they are amazing.

In all honesty, I would call and ask what the wait is looking like and then go from there. I know there were quite a few ppl just on here alone who were on almost a 1 yr backlog as it was. Definite top notch quality and they look amazing. I hope he is still making them and will continue, I would love to get one eventually.

People keep asking me about him too. He is a super nice guy with alot going on with his Viper stuff last I talked to him....which was almost a year ago. He went out of his way for and so nice! I bought the WS9 hood from him and picked it up since I wasnt that far away. I'm glad I got it when I did!!!
