I gave up trying to fit it on my BRZ Limited. They said it would fit and I even indicated on my order that I have a BRZ limited but the fin still does not fit. Unimpressed to say the least

i got my shark fin from @F-T and i havent seen one complaint from anyone for it. i'd recommend the one they are selling

Definitely the longest wait ever for any part lol.. At this point I'm not expecting it soon but will be pleasantly surprised when they appear one day.

Based on current tracking, the fins are with US customs at the moment.

So it's been almost a month since that post was made, and the group buy is still inactive.

Purchased two of these shark fins, first one around March. Wonder what the reason for the extended delay this time is?

Because i'm sure I am not the only buyer who has paid and has been waiting for months now, for this one product.

same here I just emailed the guy to cancel my order and get my refund back.

There was also another forum about this that I've been reading but it seems to be taken down now. Many people in group buy #3 and later are still waiting on their fins and most people have decided to get their refund back.

This is the reply i got on 6/25 after ordering it in March:

"hi there! we are trying to resolve the shipping issue on the shark fins.
if we dont find a solution to this we will be offering refunds to everyone"

It's been over 2 months for me and still waiting. Replies are not done in a timely manner either. I've sold stuff online for years and have never had problems like this. Am I disappointed? yes
Will I do business with this individual again? no

WOOT i got a shipment notification for the fin.

There's no good reason why a vendor can't reply within 42 hours max. I sent him a message here 3 days ago and no reply.
