You wouldn't want to go through I-5. I placed my order on March 24 and am still waiting. Freaking ridiculous. I was about to cancel my order with them until I saw this thread. If I buy the unpainted and have it sent to my local body shop, is that the way to go?
I would strongly advise against getting their paint and then pray to god you have no workmanship defects because the manager Jim Frie is apparently unable to see such things with his eyes.
Good for you bro.
Yeah it’s a shame. I had it parked out in the sun today for the first time, and in addition to all the known defects, the clear coat is so screwed up, it’s straight up embarrassing. The entirety of the clear coat is swirled, not sure if they made a piss poor attempt to buff it when they were finished but it’s BAD. Created an almost holographic effect where the swirls look like they’re floating over the hood. All part of the inconvenience package. In any case, the PayPal case was closed because I didn’t ship the hood back, but the BBB case is ongoing and my card company refunded the entire amount in the interim, despite me advising that the paint and shipping only totaled $765. Will see where that all ends up.
The physical hood itself on mine was good, no major defects, it’s just the paint. The stalker is a nice looking hood, if you can’t live without it, I would strongly consider requesting an unpainted hood and let someone local to you that knows what they’re doing paint it. The paint/finish is that bad.
I would safely assume they have no quality control, friend.
If they had a quality control department, there’s no way my hood would look the way it did. If they do have one, quality control would be a terrible name for their department. To be fair, every time I was told an item would ship that day it typically shipped the next business day, with the exception of my hood vents. They were supposed to be shipped separate from the hood due to a paint delay, ultimately ended up shipping with the hood despite Cervinis telling me otherwise (probably because the hood shipped a business day later than they promised), then when I went to pick it all up because their freight company refused to deliver after I paid for it, there were no vents to be seen. So the next week I spoke to Heather and Jim who both told me they would ship that day via Fed Ex express. They shipped the next day via regular Fed Ex ground and took a week to arrive, only to have the paint be shit too. So, they’re following their MO to a T. Good luck on the paint, hoping for the best for you.
Same here.
