UPSET w/ LPE???
I just need to vent... I love LPE and what they do but their parts dept. sucks. I ordered a hood two weeks ago and havent recieved it yet. I think the donkey get lost or something. I come to find out it barely shipped this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
They billed me for it 1 week ago and barely shipped it!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! My car has been sitting in paint waiting for this damn hood when it could have been getting my new Vortech put on!!!!! Y didnt someone give me an answer over there? Letting me know the hood had to be re-invented by Starcraft and then shipped to me via horseback. i would have adjusted accordingly and not been upset. Now i have to pay for another 5-10 days of car rental fees..... 
OK feel better.... Like I said not a bash on LPE developnment, they have very fast cars. I just wished for different results. Thanks...

The hood came from Starcraft.... which is near them from what I was told.... Strapped to the back of a freight truck and on its way to my body shop in so cal. 
all I need is for it to be damaged!!!! So now i have been waiting for this damn thing 2 weeks now and everyone was passing the buck on where , who, or when it will arrive. 
I am just upset that I got no answers. For a $1200 hood u would expect to be treated good!

I hope you get it soon. Jokes aside I'd be upset too. They better not use shipping as an excuse - I hate that crap. BTW, W. Covina close to Pasadena? I movin there soon and my Vette will be the new kid in school. Good luck.

waiting also
I sent my turbos out of my LPE TT Z06 to LPE. I had spoke to them they said it would take 2-3 days to look at them. I checkedwith them a week later and was told we will look at them in the next day or two. Emailed them a week later, I got a responce the next day that a new person was taking care of this and would look at them that day. The next day they called and left a message on my phone. I returned their call at 4:00 pm their time and the guy at LPE had gone home for the day. So over 2 weeks out and no word yet.
