Some companies tend to use this as a strategy - and I'm not saying you are... but people would be happier if they weren't so frequently left waiting for a product that never arrives.

For example, you said you'd have side mirrors ready to sell in a couple of weeks - which was about a year ago now. Apparently you dropped the idea. You didn't, however, go back to the thread where you'd promised them and rescind the offer. Just like you probably wouldn't think to come back to this one and say you've dropped the cowl idea - or made something else a higher priority.

This is meant to be constructive criticism, and I hope it will be taken as such.

Jeff you raise some good points thanks for the post. You are certainly correct that we are working on a number of items. Sometimes our schedule changes by our own design and other times by our suppliers etc. I think that the idea of a priority list for the web site has merit and we will look into it. Your example of the mirror was valid and after not being able to find anyone that could make the mounting bracket anywhere near reasonably priced we dropped it for the time being. It is not all together dead but certainly off our hot list.
As Peter mentioned with the cowl scoop program it is still hot but the designer for that item is also the same person finishing up the heat shield for the AGS. That by the way should be done this week as we signed off on the mold yesterday. He will be back on the cowl project this coming week and he is fast so it won't be long now.
Let me finish by saying that we will try to do a better job keeping with our proposed schedules and if things change we will do our best to keep everyone informed as to the status.
