Still has the body kit to balance the look out a bit. I personally feel they are way too busy for an otherwise stock body.


Look great with the kit though!

I did sent them an email asking about them but after 5 days no response. Not very encouraging.
I messaged the guy doing the Facebook group on my wife's account. He said he is still fulfilling group order 1 and you need to join the group to be apart of group order 2 which is still TBD. Hopefully enough people join in so we all get a better deal.

Well if they insist on doing it through Facebook I won't be joining in.

PSA:

Do NOT buy the Ikon louvers, all over the group buy thread they're showing pictures of cracks due to horribly thin design in 2 spots and OP is offering refunds. Additionally the hardware is garbage, everyone's looking to upgrade their threaded receivers and the tabs pop off of the window incredibly easy. They're sending half the amount of gasketing. Communication with OP and Ikon about this sucks, I've been dealing with them for months just to get my set.

The group buy is full of people offering links to better hardware and talking about how to fix the cracks.

The crack is a packaging or install issue. There could be a better design for the section in question to add strength, but I think you may be blowing the whistle on a product that could be awesome when they address the issues from the first shipment. This is early adopter growing pains for now. If they don't fix it, then it would be accurate to warn people.

About the tabs popping off the window , it's because people were not following the instructions to use an adhesive promoter. Also dealing with OP has been a breeze. I'd also like to point out it's only been a month since yesterday that the first batch was received

How does this pertain to the Sickspeed louvers? I see you've posted this in both the Sickspeed thread and in the IKON thread.
Have you bought either or are you complaining about a product you don't own and have no control over?

In case you're wondering, I've not had any real issues with my IKON louvers, sure the mounting hardware isn't the best, but the cost of the entire product is far cheaper than the TRD louvers. The IKON louvers aren't a copy so there may or may not be some issues.
