Adam, it appears to me that you made it quite clear what you were
looking for in the form of feed back. You also made it clear that you
were a motivated buyer. The response you received back did not
acknowledge any of this points and I would have to agree with your
conclusion that he is 'just playing'.
Thanks for the effort in trying to track down some fiberglass parts.
BTW, I was interested in the MKII hoods.
Thanks, Rick.

Subject: Re: updates on fiberglass MkI fenders, and such...
OK,
It's not looking good. But I'll just post what was emailed to me,
and also what I replied back to this particular vortex seller. Below is
what he emailed me, and above his email was what I sent back. As you can
see, this email will decide whether or not this guy is walking the walk
or just talking smack. I am not playing with this fellow anymore; he
keeps typing the same bs in different form. Sorry for the false alarm,
but I was ready for some fiber fenders my damn self! We'll see after
this for sure! FYI: Has anyone seen the updated pictures for the
widebody kit that is being fitted for a mold in a vortex forum thread?
Check the link below!

Fab,
I am extremely interested in these products that you 'offer'. The
only problem is that I have a hard time justifying sending you such a
large sum of money for something that neither I nor you have proof that
they even exsist. I also have a hard time believing that you have no
pictures, and cannot even take any pictures of something that is so
'available'-yet nobody else on the vortex has heard of. I have seen that
you have sold some c/f hoods and such, but it was mostly VIS stuff
right? Even then, you had pictures for those guys.
I would like a c/f hood and c/f fenders for my MkI. I would also
like a c/f hood for my MkII. I have a couple of friends who would like
fiberglass fenders for their MkI's. I am very sorry, but all of us agree
that we'd prefer to 'see' the goods before we pay up; so to speak. You
have definate, multiple sales with me, -money is not an issue, but I'm
going to need some sort of guarantee. I will even fly out to you to
retrieve these and drive a rental car back to the southeast if these
items are 'that' camera shy.
All you have told me is that you got'em. Well I 'got' the money and
I can even take pictures of it with either my camera, or one of my
friends' cameras. All that I can tell you is: that I'll wait for you to
find a camera and give me multiple angles and close-up shots of these
products. Then you will have more than just the sales that I have
mentioned, because I've got many people on the 'Scirocco List' excited
about it. It is up to you. If you indeed have a rare product like this,
you need to market it at least to my (pictures) standards; which in this
case; is not very high. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I have lost at
this game before...I will not sign-up for another season -ever.
sincerely,
A. Carroll

Hey whats up man. I can't answer my IM on vw vortex because I got
banned for
soliciting on the IM. Now to answer your questions. Yes I have both
carbon
fiber and fiberglass hoods and fenders. I have both mk1 and mk2
fiberglass
and c/f. I have both fenders with turn signals and ones without. The
inner
suppors on the hood is a one peice fiberglass. There is no warrenty on
my
items, but all my items are of great quality and I usually doulble check
everything for any defects before shipping it out. I also will put
insurance
on the item in case it gets damaged during shipping. I can't do the door
panels or anything else. It's mostly just the hood and the fenders I
carry.
The c/f fenders will be more costly compared to the fiberglass. Let me
know
if you and others on the vortex want to place an order for the scirooco
stuff. I also carry other fiberglass and c/f hoods for moslty all vw's
and
have sold numerous hoods with no complaints. Thanks and let me know
