Last I talked to Brian he said he still didn't hear anything. At the moment he is banned from CL for a couple weeks. It was suppose to come in around this time. I'll shoot him a text today or tomorrow and ask, but as far as I know he has not received the grille yet.

sigh....every time i have bumped it on FB daniel, i keep getting what feels like excuses.it started out with him telling us last year it would be ready in 6 months, 8 months l8r we were being told 4 months, 4 months l8r its in the next few months. so finally in march, i make the deposit than payment in full is made and we are told the end of april or beginning of may....so almost at the end of may i bump his FB post again and ask for a update and is told "Updating the completion still takes about 1.5-2.0 weeks ahead, Brian san. Thank you for your waitings."

so i wait 20 more days and bump the post again and now am told "Top slat found a 3mm gap after installation we found out, the factory re-moulding to fix problem still waiting for completion, sorry it takes time we will keep you update once ready on production."

that was 7 days ago now (for the last update) and i understand custom parts take time and all but my issue with this is if you found a gap and have to change production, BEFORE i or someone else comes on there and requests a update why arent you updating us with this information?

im really annoyed i missed mr Executives JP Grill ESPECIALLY for that $700 he sold it for. i would have bought that and then forgot about this one lol

There are many of us that would have paid that $700 in a split second, but didn't see it before it was too late. He should have auctioned that thing off to the highest bidder.

Not getting any real updates is especially bothersome since you helped by investing full payment upfront into the production of this grille, I sure hope it comes into fruition as it does look like it may be quite nice, and with the scarcity of the JP and not many grille choices that aren't a simple mesh style I was looking forward to this.

damn Brian, youve been waiting. i know how you feel and it is annoying when you wait that long. the jp parts i bought, i waited just about a year for it to get to me and still waiting on my fogs to complete the exterior look. hope everything turns out good though.

and yes, i think most of us missed out on the jp grill by mrexec. i wouldve paid that right away or maybe even offered a lil more for it.

I think he was talking about that same gap from before, Brian. I read his comment and it seemed he was talking about the same one, it just isn't finished yet.
