"Okai guys,

This is for those who have the time to read haha

I know we have disappointed you in many ways. At first the louver project was a side development product. We thought we would have the time to do it before the season! But then we got a lot of orders and things started to get more complicated... So we decided to search for a place to work properly. At the beginning of our company, we where working at our ex-partner's garage, then it became to small, we move again into a bigger one (march) but we where two companies in the same space (it wasn't easy because we could work on weekends and nights), after we move again but this time, it was our own shop (may-june). We where once again, having to many orders... we where working on the floor because all our tables where taken... finally Yesterday we move, again, into a bigger shop (4 times bigger than the one on may-june). This time we should be good for a moment, no more moving... �� haha

We will build a lot of tables to work properly and from today we will be more productive!!

All companies start some where, they all begin whit a dream, goals and some ambition!!

Our mistake whit the louvers was that we took to much orders... We bought materials, tools and furniture. Your money went there and it still is!! (For those who blame us and said we took 10k + you are wrong, all orders gave us 5.54k exactly)

That been said, in my behalf I would like to say sorry! It was our mistake to start to early the group buy for the louver's development, we'll probably never do a group buy again. It is not your fault but ours!!

This is really funny! And I'm not joking!! At first, this kind of things shocked me because people don't realize what we have been trough but then I realized that it will only help me and my company to work harder and prouve to myself that we are doing something great ��

Sooo I have said enough for today I'll return to work. If you have questions, advices or anything, I am wide open!

*sorry if I did mistakes English is my fourth language and it's kind of confusing"


Looks factory.

I have to admit I was tempted...but damn, too many people were in, too many updates of what not is working. I work with carbon fiber and to me these guys looked like they were learning and building their tools on someone elses money! Well not my money!

Think you can do better? Unless you can't - or won't as is more likely the case - I fail to see why you're making fun of someone else's work.

Work like this takes time, life interferes, stuff happens.

Not sure if that argument is really the best one to use. I dont know how to build a car but damn, I know the difference between a Kia and a Porsche.

Can I do better? Yes I think I can!...but I am not going to as I don't have time. Even more so, if I was to do it, I wouldn't ask people's money in advance to pay for my tooling that is for sure! Kudos to the guy that gives it a go, but not on other folks money.
When someone takes your hard earned, takes his sweet time and delivers a sub standard product I can't help but laugh but also be upset that not only my money but other people 's money is at play! And is not by any means a small amount.
I am all for supporting the little guy though, but not in that guys case.

Back to original post! If the stuff looks good I am in.

How can the product be substandard if it's not completed?

Any word on the MRT louver? When I pictured louvers in my head it was the classic aluminum style like they make.

I like the idea of a louver due to Florida heat but at that price I'd be worried about fit and finish.

Has there been any update on these? Summer is here and I want some, but the molded plastic versions currently for sale look like pep boys junk.
