Has anyone talked to Kewl people yet? Anyone have orders that they haven't gotten yet? I'll try to call them tomorrow.

I've ordered from them 3 times. One order took a couple months to fill,
but they did'nt bill me until they shipped it. If you've been waiting for an
order, they probably had to make it up from scratch.

Am curious as to whether or not you had any success, as emails seem to be ignored.

Here's a poor quality photo of the license surround, but it should give you an idea. I ordered it a few months ago, and had no problem with the order. The paint quality is very poor though. It's a great color match, but the paint application is very poor. The metallic pattern sags toward the bottom. They really never should have sent it out, it should have been repainted.

It might benefit more people if you posted it here. I'm not looking for a vendor slam or anything, just a factual account of your encounter. Plus if you start seeing a reoccurring theme (ie. "shipping takes forever", "paint quality so-so") people can use that to make a qualified judgement. JMTC
