He STILL has my gauge pod. I dont like bringing this stuff to the forum, but this is all that is left for me to do in getting my pod back (phone and email yeild no response). Im not posting this to bash him, or turn people away from his business. I just need help from whoever has contact with him. Heres the story from start to finish:
After seeing his work with custom molded gauge pods, i agreed to let him do mine. He had never done an S4, but i was fine with that, because his work looked top notch. I recieved the pod and put it in the car, looked perfect. A few weeks later, the pod started cracking from the heat of the sun. I told him, and he was extremely helpful and was immediately willing to fix it at no charge. I sent the pod back to him in early April. He emailed me 4/12/05 and said the pod was almost done being worked on, and he was going to have it upholstered if i wished. I told him to go ahead with the upholstery in OEM fabric. On 4/29/05 he picked up my pod from his upholsterer, and the fabric did not match OEM, so he told his guy to redo the pod. He said the upholsterer usually takes about 5 days for his work. Well, its 6/6/05 now, and still no pod, and very little communication from Ryan. Ive called him and emailed him, and gotten nothing but 1 or 2 explanations that the upholsterer has the pod. I understand that it is not his fault the upholstery is taking this long, but its been more than a month that this guy has had to redo the job. Ive bought brake decals from Ryan, and hes the one who made the pod in the first place, so i have a level of trust in him. But, i cant help but think hes screwing me over right now. Hes had the pod way too long, and i havent been able to communicate with him. I wrote him an email asking to please pick up the pod from the upholsterer and just send it back to me, whether its done or not. Anyone who is friends with him, or can get a hold of him, please help me out.
Thanks
Josh

Dude...Sounds Like U Might Be S-C-R-E-W-E-D!...Do Have A Mailing Address?..Contact Better Biz Bureau
in his hometown, or state, and also file a complaint with them. See what they can do - if nothing - u might have to go legal in small claims court. Good Luck.

I'm sure there's a good explanation, is there anywhere you can visit him?
Do you have the stock cover on there at least? I'd be really pissed having to drive around for 2 months with a gaping pillar to look at.

I hear ya man...I'm STILL waiting for some fiberglass molds for engine covers we
were going to make up. And it's been quite a while. Luckily I'm only out two valve covers and a powersteering cover. Anyone have any extras. I'd really like to get my cf engine covers back on. Thx!
