Ya.. this is very unusual... I emailed them and I'm still waiting for their reply. I will send out another email about this to them.

Received both my DPs and t-shirts. Everything looks great ... just looking for some time to install now.

Thanks for setting this up Nammer thumbsup.gif

If any one wants theirs shipped out without the free t-shirt, let me know and I'll let Bryan know.

That depends - how long until the shirts come in?

Realistically, I'm not in much of a hurry. I kinda want to get the walls finished in the shop first, and it'll still be a while yet before I'm driving the car. I've got plenty of time.

Glad to know they haven't gotten lost!

Let me know if you want yours ASAP without the shirt...not sure how long a few weeks is...

Well it's already been "a few weeks" since the last ones were shipped out so they should be getting close!... I hope tongue.gif

I hope so too! I wish I could make the process faster for you guys (and gal)...I just hope everyone will be happy with the savings to offset the long wait biggrin.gif

Like I said, I'm in no rush - it'd just be nice to have some idea of the expected timeline.

I'm having to move my car around through all the garage construction we've got going on... It's really making me want to drive it... But all the white stuff and rocks on the ground say otherwise.

Yes. As I've mentioned before, if anyone doesn't want the free t-shirt, please email them directly at sales@berktechnology.com to request sending the dp without the t-shirt.

got a reply back. They've sent it with a tracking number smile.gif
hmmm impatience is building tongue.gif. It's been at least 3 weeks since the last downpipe was shipped.. What kind of t-shirts are they printing?!
The weather is looking good and I would like to get the DP on before the car comes out. Still no news? I'm sure you are still waiting on Berk like the rest of us Nammer but I am excited to hear you say it's all been shipped smile.gif
Hope to hear from you soon,
Brad

Yes, I am in the same boat as everyone here. I have 1 or 2 shipped so far (as I was okay with it not being shipped together). Let's hope that "done by the end of this week" will really mean...done by the end of this week...meaning..shipping all DP's out next week? kindasad.gif Will keep everyone updated. Wish i can make this faster...these shirts better be darn comfy and nice haha jk

|Photoshoot|COTM: June 2011|My progress thread|Reputation|Old group buy|
just so you know the shirts look really good and are SUPER COMFY!!!!
We've finished sheeting the garage and the walls are painted! No hoist yet and the tools aren't in there yet, but I'm willing to get started anyways... Hope my dp ships this week!!

Okay, now I'm starting to get antsy. I want my pretty new downpipe! And the t-shirt too, I guess. It'd better be made of spun gold. The t-shirt, I mean.

well mine was sent out on the 29th March and it's just reached the UK. Still not here yet but I'm not gonna wait any longer for a Tshirt.
Just wanted to mention I received my downpipe ages ago. However the day before it arrived a guy drove into the back of me. He admited full liability and was insured. Not much damage, just the bumper + left side cap around the wheel arch (bodykit) + the left side parking sensor cap came off (lost). Strangly, it was the missing sensor cap that caused a big slow-down in getting the panel beating work done. They said they could not source the part. When the they finally told me they had all the parts, it turns out that excluded the parking sensor cap. I asked them why they didn't just replace the whole unit and to paraphrase, it was just too much work and they didn't want to do it. I told them I wasn't too happy about that and they said they will tell the insurance company to make me a cash payment. To be honest, I really don't mind about the missing cap. It's very small and the sensor seems to work just fine without it. I think I'll just take the money, which I assume would be for a complete new unit (and estimated cost of fitting).

Oh yeah, spent an extra grand getting some other work done while she was in the shop. Dents on bonnet taken out/repainted. Dents in drivers door taken out/repainted. Spoiler repainted (long term bird**** damage lol). Have to also say the old bumper was slightly faded -the new bumper is definately a better colour match. So shes looking a million bucks right now smile.gif
Anyone have any sound clips with the downpipe installed? I'm anxious to hear how it sounds!
