That was July 23, before matte vs glossy was a thing.

I get that but do you know how many people said "I'd love to get a set, I'd be down for set, definitely want to get one, I have to get a set"? a lot. So until I see something that sounds definitive I cant speculate or I would have had to order 130 sets. Something you have to understand, I'm not a retail shop, I am doing this completely by myself, traveling every weekend for work, trying to understand the logistics of European companies. dealing with customs and forms, and emails about this. If I was a company charging 1100 for a hood vent alone I would hire a person and make life easier. This actually makes me not even want to do the Mirror replacements or order another round for the wait list. Its too much.

dont get too discouraged. I would think almost everyone is thankful for what you are doing and appreciate the cost. You have quite a list of backup buyers to fill the current order. Maybe going forward take deposits so you know you wont get hung out to dry. Totally understandable. That way you have no gray area and make it easy on both you and the buyer. I didn't make the cut, yet anyway, and would still like to get a set. so please don't quit now! haha

I get it I wasn't trying to bring you down or be argumentative - just wondering where I stand is all. Everyone appreciates what you are doing here!

lol I emailed everyone on the wait list and I decided I will do another order for people who didn't get in. Did you not get an email? No I just checked your on second order OR first Matte back out, which 2 matte orders haven't responded. I think they have another day to respond or I am moving down the list. But I haven't checked PM's today

I hear you I'm just confused because your on the list, Looking back your first message was right when the member accused me of being a liar and a scammer so I was probably so aggravated with him and I was 100% positive you wanted the set so that's why I just assumed The late July message was the order. They are all coming just hang in there bud.
