Optional and Dave PM me your paypals again, Ill have you both the payments tonight so chill. Anybody else who needs one send me your paypals as well and Ill work on it as fast as I can. Things are going great Ill admit, new workers, new customers daily, expanding like weeds we are.

But as fast as we're expanding, I need to keep a certain amount of money in the bank and paypal at all times so keep in mind I will be refunding who ever else I owe money to, but first comes security, bills, and my employees.

And to anybody who says I do shotty work...

And to those pathetic ones who try to still ruin me. Get over it because its not gonna happen, nothing but great things are happening and now were to the size that were starting to manufacture hoods, grills, lip kits, etc. Silly silly.

chill?

you ripped us off, it's been over a year since i paid you, and just now you're able to pay us back? what kind of business is that.

what if one of us had taken you to small claims court? you wouldn't have been able to keep money in your bank of paypal, you're lucky we didn't, you should be grateful we let you off as easily as we did.

and you DID do shoddy work, that's why we wanted our money back, especially after all the waiting and lying and broken promises you made to pretty much all of us still here.

i'm just glad i won't ever have to talk to you ever again, thank god.

you've made me less trusting in small business as a result of this, that's terrible.

^ Im not worried about what you have to think of me. Like I said, my feelings arent hurt.

Im going to sign up to be a sponsor again soon despite what anybody says, I still see a good market especially since I still get orders for garnishes, requests and such from the scion community. $250 a month is a small price to pay to serve a few customers here and there every week.
Either way out of the thousands of SL customers everybody will agree theres only a hand full of those who dislike me. Anybody else will be satisfied by just seeing the past almost 6 months of great work and nothing but good things said at the sites I currently am on. Almost 6 months, and not one customer complaining. Sure 2 or 3 have asked when will it arrive, but they have seen the excitement and happiness all the other customers that have ordered have felt on that forum and say waiting an extra week or 2 is a small price to pay for a life guaranteed fitment guaranteed product.

i was actually about to mail him back the 100$ he gave back to me, because he obviously needed it more than i do to keep us strung along for so long.

Ive been working with a select few for quite a time and I have leraned from the mistake I made a year ago. Its been a long time since I made mistakes like these, and like I said. The past almost 6 months, I haven't herd of a dissatisfied customer yet in the new products I have to offer.

Anyways..... Excuse me for saying, but anybody who says my work is shotty from seeing garnishes is an idiot. All the garnishes (the few garnishes) that have turned up lousy is because of the materials seperating due to the weather and sun / heat exposure. FLEA said so him self any garnish that has been filled over time will turn out like that.

Dont stick to your guns because you'd feel lousy admitting your wrong.

Hey I still never got my things I ordered. Remember me iKONA, I was the one you sent an empty box to. I think I ordered some bumper plugs and key hole plugs back in October. You always say just send me your info and I will be sure to get you your stuff. Looks like we are going on five months now. What do I have to do wait a year like the other people you owe money to.

So you have one option. Refund me my 30 bucks that you stole from me. You literally stole my money and never thought twice about it.

With all the customers that you claim to have I think you can spare the 30 bucks you still owe me.

Oh my god. I think I might actually get my money back.

Remember iKONA $30.95 is what you owe me.

I'll be waiting.

Last update from the other guys involved with this was page 39:

Still havent gotten my garnish...or my door plugs that have been supposably sent out 3 times and have gotten "lost" or something
So I guess, Blizzard, Medications and Aryan13 are left.

Dave2610 and myself are done, and iKona has promised Aryan13 his 30.95 by the end of next week.

The other guys haven't checking in for a LONG time though... no idea what's up with them.
