I pulled the trigger on this. American aesthetic touch and the AE had very similar shape. I would be interested in seeing wind tunnel. I also live in Florida, go sun.

I am so damn pissed that missed out on these. These louvers are probably the only purely cosmetic mod that I am dying to get.
Hope another group buy happens soon! Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using Tapatalk |

I agree, I Hate it when the only way to communicate/participate in things is through Facebook. I have an account and can log in but.. unprofessional and annoying.
Ikon used to have vendor-ship here, but have since not payed there dues? would be cool if we could get in contact with the rep that used to hang around @Angela.IKON |

You don't have to put any personal info on Facebook, just make like a throw away account. It just used for him send you his email and you go from there. And so he can keep a list on the group buy page to see who has paid etc.

I bought them:
Given that the Ikon Motorsports louvers are about a 1/4 to 1/3 the price of the TRD louvers, some of the parts are cheaply made: The brackets (https://www.amazon.com/Double-Adhesi...ble+sided+tape) are small rectangles with a double sided tape holding it down - some of them came warped or bent. There are threaded posts sticking up from the brackets which are first threaded (sometimes very poorly) and painted black. The supplied hardware - washers and acorn nuts - aren't exactly useful. The washers eventually rust after a week or so - even quicker after it's rained. The acorn nuts are nylon and don't exactly fit the threaded posts or eventually come loose. The weather sealing strip that is provided works if everything else is perfect - which it isn't. It's very thin and only two rolls are provided - enough for about half of the louvers - to prevent vibration. Having to buy the thicker weather stripping to eliminate all vibration at highway speeds and stainless washer and acorn nuts, isn't too bad. The real flaw of these louvers is the brackets! I'll need to find someone to make me some better brackets - ones that will cover a broader area. One large bracket across the top, one on each side, and one across the bottom would do it, instead of nine separate brackets. Last edited by Mithosphere; 09-10-2017 at 01:48 PM. |

How? FB identifies your computer or phone's specific hardware, assigns it a key, geolocates it and then installs damn near undeletable software that allows them to know your browsing history, location, keystrokes (whether "submitted" or not), and heat maps your mousing actions whether you've clicked or not. All this happens upon sign up regardless of you giving them phony credentials or even logging into that account ever again. And how do they do that? By triangulating the hardware key and location of the phony account against your real FB account hardware key as well as hardware keys from technology "partners" that you unwittingly agreed to participate with when you conveniently "logged in with Facebook" while not noticing or caring that they clearly state they will share your information with their technology partners unless opted out. Together discerning who you are, what you do, what you love and hate and what motivates you to act is used to make you believe you want or do not want things. Like Ford over Chevy or, or this political candidate over that one. If you think it doesn't work you're wrong. No one's mind is an uninfluenced steel trap only accessible by their permission. The only way to keep this from working is to minimize your accessible private data footprint by not exposing yourself to websites where you are the product. Faux accounts do not accomplish this. Please stop encouraging people to make them. Also vote with your wallet, insist that retailers operate outside of sites like Facebook. Don't shop at retailers that offer Facebook only specials. If you're in the U.S. remind retailers, friends, and government agencies that they are alienating and not reaching 200 million Americans and 5 billion people of the world that aren't in The Face Book. Finally read up on Facebook's damn near psychotic practices and business conduct and at least hear out why they're dangerous to participate in. This is no small matter.

Besides the concerns mentioned above, I'm not interested in helping put money in Zuckerberg's pocket...he's a grade A douchebag. One of his 'neighbors' on Kauai is an acquaintance, so I'm well versed. For anyone so inclined, here's a good start: https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklist...s/facebook/all The raw version of that can be used and updated directly by several apps and utilities. That particular one will block some instagram and whatsapp stuff as well, but there are some less stringent ones available: https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklist...tions/facebook |

I tried to ask about ordering something from Ikon a while back and never got a response. They seem to be pretty terrible at customer service. |

Point from above is that those that minimize their data privacy footprint will have the smallest pool of data to be drawn from and thus the least accurate data profiles available. Which platform users have provided the most data points for profile building?
Thankfully there are millions in the US and billions worldwide that don't think same thing about privacy. You can stop using these services. You can stop providing data hand-over-fist to miners and marketers. You can especially stop doing business with companies that rely on your private information as free raw materials provided by and defended by people that it exploits the most. That's why he refers to his own users the way he does. |
