It probably stopping production or got caught for having the same coyote as NHL teamWhat happen to spacecityspy on Instagram? It's no longer there. Also most of the badges listed on the website have disappeared.

I've personally sat down and had a few beers with OySmallFry and seen him and the shipments at his house. Spent quite a few days with this guy and hold him in high regard. It's sad how many of you can be so quick to hate and assume this is a giant company making buckets of money and taking advantage of you. Nathan has helped with designing the badges and a little PR on the forum but otherwise it's a 1 man show minus Oy's friends helping him pack and label orders, etc.
He tried so hard to get a product with great quality out while working a full time job that actually pays the bills(because selling these badges doesn't)
Here's a crazy point....have you seen custom badges like these for any other car, that are mass produced??? I sure haven't. I'm sure if the badge sets were $150+ they could be hand painted by professionals here in the USA with 0 margin for Oy and his time+idea, they would look perfect but also be out of 90% of your spending range for a product like a badge.
Get over yourselves, and if you think you can make a better product as well as mass produce them for hundreds/thousands please do so.
I'm very sad to see a friend struggle through this because of the nasty comments/pms/emails he has received. The general population really makes me sick.
Good deal! Look forward to seeing the fender badges when they come available! ThanksphrenetiK pretty much nailed everything. The Instagram Page was temporarily taken offline while Oy focuses his attention on getting these badges out in the quoted timeline that was emailed to customers still waiting. The Instagram page became yet another avenue where people were asking questions and following up. It was easier to streamline the communication at this point to the website and forum PMs. The Instagram page will be back and running soon and rest assure that OY has not given up. He put an unrealistic goal on himself by trying to get these badges on sale and out to everyone before the holidays. The original model was to inspect the badges, package them and ship to Amazon for fulfillment. This would have added an additional four weeks before they were available to be sold. Pushing things into the middle of January. He tried to do everyone a solid and get these out in time for Christmas gifts. He succeeded for a majority of the orders, but he is still working through the additional ones. There will be more badges coming shortly. Future batches will be fulfilled through Amazon. If you have a refund request or returned product he will get you taken care. I just hope that you understand as phernetik said this is one guy doing all of this while still working a full time job.

I agree based on the finish of my badge. While the imperfections are very small and I'm OK with them, especially knowing it will be catching crap from the road while bolted to the grill running 80mph for hours on end, others may not be so understanding after paying $40.Nathan and Oy, regarding Amazon - I'd suggest that quality of future product is up to snuff before going and doing business there.
what you and many others don't realize is $40 gets you a mass produced badge that requires hand paint by someone on an assembly line trying to get them done as fast as possible.others may not be so understanding after paying $40.
I think I might have brought this up back in the V1 days....a raw badge would much more forgiving in terms of quality expectations.maybe he can offer unpainted ones for those perfectionists of you that can then paint yourselves
