Yes, my M7 DFIC is on the way!!!

Just opened my email and got the FedX notification......Peter went way, WAY over the top in the customer service department........ I will have the DFIC at the Dragon...... Peter actually got three hand made so that MSFITOY and I would have them on our cars at the Dragon..... If I told you all thet he had to go through to make this happen you would not believe it..... I can be a pain in the *** and Peter took it all in stride and MADE this happen...... I can't thank him enough..... btw I took delivery of the USS and the Strut bar and they a beautifully done...the photography does not do these parts justice at all

Well done Peter and thanks to you and the team.

Bob

Seriously......what Peter did was way over the top...... I own a customer service/rep organization and I know "over the top" great service/customer relations when I see it and this qualifies.

After chatting with Peter over the past week or so, he was really concerned that he wouldn't have DFIC's available at the Dragon. I mean, he really felt bad about it... but so much was out of his control.

We talked last night, and he was so happy that he found a way to make it happen! Bob, he mentioned you by name, and it truly made his day to satisfy you, as well as others.

Enjoy!

What a roller coaster ride the last three weeks has been......

With that said four of you will have DFIC's on your cars*, and I can promise
full satisfaction or you can give me back the units....

*at the Dragon

It's a forward-facing top-mount IC:



DFIC = Direct Flow Intercooler

It is part of my necessary show bling. I've always liked braided lines and chicks dig it

I think the units we will receive this week will not be polished......no time...so he bling factor will be down but as we say in audio "it LOOKS like it SOUNDS good" or "it LOOKS like is GOES FAST" one thing for sure I will report my honest reaction..... I hope the pressure drop is non existant

Numbers will be no problem you just have to convince Spider or Sid to send theirs to Dr. O for his evaluation We have 4 units in existence at this moment all of which have been paid in full for a LONG time.Mine was even taken off my car after AMVIV to fulfill one of these long standing orders. All 4 will be at the Dragon . As soon as we get back we are hoping to get the rest of the first run in our hands for dispersion. Its just a ramp up issue to fill the pipe line . No worries it WILL happen
