I'm currently using the hyper yellow turns and yes it is a significant improvement!

Went snowboarding on saturday & sunday.

For those wondering, you can put 2 snowboards+2 boots, 2 dufflebags, 1 sleepingbag, and 1 backpack in the rear of an FRS

Also i put on the smoked corner lights. I used the oem bulb because it's less orange than the led one.

How'd you manage that? My board almost requires the front passenger seat to be tilted forward and unusable...

just put it in an angle. Both boards were near the driver seat, but were angled on the passenger side.

Just so there's no confusion here. You make it sound like there was a big issue.

Bottom Line. On New Years week, it took you 5 business days to receive your order.

You were told we had sold out that day, and it was going to drop ship from manufacturer. Any info we received, was passed along to you and 5 business days later you received your product. You were upset there was no tracking info. We didn't have the info since your order didn't ship from us. You were offered a refund due to the lack of tracking number info, you declined.

In your own words, you claimed to be impatient. In those 5 days, there were 5 phone calls, 3 voice mails, and 18 emails from you.

In the past 30 days, we have (with ZERO issue) filled 18 orders from FT86club without a single complaint.

Unfortunately, only a fraction of people actually use the trader feedback system, and we only sponsor the forums from time to time. It starts our post count and join date over again each time.

*edit* and we're 6 business days away from you in shipping time. You received your product a day early because it drop shipped from the mfr who was closer to you than we were
