Glad i could help out. I didnt go straight thorough SF to get this so money refund shouldnt be hard. I sholdnt have to pay extra to fix the **** they did wrong. So im not gonna mess with it and im gonna start doing what i really wanted to in the begining. A swap.

^im sorry about this dude. It must be hard getting so dissapointed over and over just to scrap the project in the end. SF is going down the drain from what i've read, so just get ur money back and you will never have to deal with them again. Good things come to those who wait, so im sure in the end you will be happy with whatever you decide to do. Good luck.

dragon: Yah I understand what you're saying. I just hope it gets resolved soon so you can start on another project. Im sure Truehonda will help you out as much as possible.
Boosta:I somewhat agree with you. Its hard tho cuz i actually havent dealt with them at all. Just from what ive read it seems there time is up.

It's good to see the other guys are finally starting to get a clue after the fact that we "flamed" them and we had no clue what we were talking about. I guess a picture is really worth a thousand words.

It's a shame that SF had to end up like this. I was really looking forward to getting one of their kits after I could save a few bucks.

I wouldn't ban sfpower and/or catalyst yet. I think that they deserve to give us a truthful explination as to what the fcukup was with this whole thing. Kinda give them one last chance to shoot themselves in the foot, if you know what I mean.

Its not the fact that we didnt believe SF was putting out low quality welds. we got in a groupbbuy and have been waiting for this for MONTHS. BAck when SFs quality was good it just took time. Now i get a kit thats worth less than half than what i paid for it and i had to wait almost half a year to get it. Personally i could care less what SFs reasons are, im done with SF. I want nothing to do with them in the future no matter how good their kits were

I'm not debating that fact. From what I've seen, they've totally dropped the ball with workmanship over the last year. I'd be pissed too if I waited 6 months for a pile of unusable aluminum and steel.

I hate to say I told you so. I'm really sorry about it all though. You don't deserve that, not just because of the money , but because of all the time they made you wait. ::sigh:: And then people swear by SF, and wanna kill whomever wants to say otherwise?

BTW Red...i talked to that D17t4u person. He sold the kit while back ago. I'll see if i can Im u later to talk about it some mo'

SpdRcrChk, i know you told me so not too long ago and i agreed and trust me from seeing SFs work as of late i had a feeling it was gonna be like this but due to certain things i couldnt control i couldnt very well get a complete refund like we had discussed. I knew it was gonna be messed up but there is always that part of you that hopes its not ot that MAYBE it wont be so bad. If i had the cash to buy that guys kit from him i would have but between this and getting married soon im a little short lol.
