I have ordered from them and got what I bought! I think they just got ahead of themselves on the product you ordered. I am not ready to dump on them myself,,,,,,yet!

I have purchased a fair amount of custom one-offs from them and have always received a great product and service.

Josh from RPI is a good guy. His products are fantastic. He did offer a lot of stuff the last 2 months. He is probably very busy with all of the painted item. You should get your part. Drop him an email or a privat message. He has answered me very fast when ansking questions about his products. Don't give up on him yet. You won't be disapointed when your order is received.

I ordered plenty from Josh and he never let me down.
If it's the plenum you ordered, I believe he said in his posting the first batch won't ship till minimum - 1/31. I also ordered a chrome plenum and have no doubt it will arrive. Josh has always answered my phone calls and PMs, If you have a concern, have you tried to contact him?

Believe I was #1 or 2 on that first list back in Dec. Just got mine today. Josh is ok. If the parts are not right, he won't send them. I've ordered maybe 10 items from him. No problems. Hang in there he won't send you something he is not happy with.

I placed an order from them last week for a blemished chrome intake cover and recieved it today.
The spots that are on it are not very bad at all.
I got it for half off.
I am very happy with their service.

I purchased from RPI. Josh was very pleasant, shipped immediately and emailed the invoice along with the tracking number. Excellent vendor.
Thanks Josh.
