Default **DD bezels** current orders and future orders please read

I just wanted to let everyone know whats going on right now with me getting all current bezel orders done and anyone who wants somthing done in near future.

Right now I will have 5 more shipping tomorrow and 4 more will go out on Monday. I have 15 orders to fill after this as well. I have not taken any orders for double din bezels in two weeks. A couple things are going on for me right now

Besides the fact there is NO bezels availabe for me to buy from GM and who knows when this will change. I have all but a couple right now to fill orders. With ones coming back in from the refund i give for returns i will be able to get all current orders done.

I also have a family matter that came up this week when my sister was involved in a real bad motorcyle accident last Sunday.
http://www.journalstandard.com/news/...n?popular=true
With me trying to work, get bezels done and be there for my parents and sister and my own family its starting to get to me.

I am doing my best right now to get everything caught up and shipped out as soon as possible. If anyone has any questions please PM me but no worries I will get everything done as soon as possible.

I hope everyone understands.

Once i am totally caught up on and all orders are shipped I will have to take orders a couple at a time and modify your bezels only. This will be until GM gets everything worked out and i can get bezels.

Thanks everyone I just wanted to share because its getting harder to respond to everyone right now.

I am not running away and will still be here to reply to questions so no fear about current orders as i will get them done



Dennis

Thanks Steve for the prayers

She should be ok but has a long road to recovery
6 broken ribs on right side
5 broken ribs on left
2 cracked vertebrae
collapsed lung
2 broken arms
no head trama at all and full memory.

someone went off the road on a curve and kicked up gravel onto the road and they hit it and lost control of the bike.

Thanks again for the prayers she will need it

I'm glad to see that your sister is going to be okay. Was that her husband driving the motor-cycle ?

Dennis my prayers go out to you and your family for the mishap It is also awesome that you are informing the forum the GM supply issue you are having and that Bezels will be on an exchange basis, that is standup

Dennis it hurts to here your pain my friend. My thoughts go out to you and your family. I hope only the best for you. If there is ANYTHING I can do from out here in Cali you can count on it brother.

For those of you waiting on bezels rest assured that you will be pleasantly surprised by Dennis's work. I had a local shop take on the task and charge me in the neighborhood of $400 to do the bezel. It came out horrible with lines in the molding and cracks. I sent it to Dennis and he went above and Beyond. There is NOT a nice bezel then mine around.

Hey Dennis...Hang in there buddy...this is just one of life's curve ***** that comes our way from time to time, but having said that, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

While modding our cars is alot of fun, at the end of the day, family stuff is what really matters. I'm sure your loyal clients will understand that but in case some don't, send them up here and we'll straighten them out real quick

And I can understand all this **** getting to you...my prescription...go give your sister a big hug and let her know how lucky you are to still have her around....that will make all this other stuff seem secondary
