It is not to my knowledge

 

so, any updates? i see my creditcard has been charged for the preorder. i'd appreciate it if there are periodic updates.

 

After having my new tC for about a week and a half, I was pretty psyched to see this deal for the SS. I just went and placed my order. This will be my only real non-stereo mod probably, but I think it is absolutely necessary as that stock shifter sure is sloppy.

 

Not sure if I really count or not, since I was test mule for the prototype, but yes, I *do* have this in my car already. MY review is on SL someplace. If you can't find it, let me know, and I'll see if I can dig it up for you.

FYI, if anyone in NoVA/Md/DC wants help with this install, I'll gladly help out, free of charge.

 

I think I might have seen it back in the day but if you could dig up the link I'd appreciate it.

 

haha , its on page two of this post, 5th post down from the top.

 

nice

Dear Customer:
I would like to take the personal opportunity to thank you for
pre-ordering our company's Short Shifter for the 2005 Scion tC. Our company
is working directly with Scion as well as many lead manufacturers to have
parts both you and I crave for our vehicles. We look forward to serving you
in the future for your scion needs.
However at this time I have to send this e-mail with a bit of bad news. We
have experienced a delay from our Private manufacturer in the production of
the Short Shifters. We ordered 300 Short Shifters for stock on April 2,
2005 which the promise from the manufacturer they would be here between May
1-May 15th, as promoted on several online forums. On April 29th, 2005 we
touched base with our manufacturer to check on the status. At this time we
have been informed that the shifters will not be done production till May
15th-May 17th and we will not have the shifters in hand till at the best,
first week of June. At the best, its still a 15day delay. We are working
very hard to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible, however we are
limited to the manufacturers capabilities. I am aware that many of you have
been waiting since April 5th, 2005. I do not like to keep people waiting if
I can help it and in this situation I can not. So if you would not like to
wait for our shifter, we will be offering 100% refunds to those customers.
Simply respond to this e-mail with your order number and the credit will be
issued. At this time the preorder price is $89 and will change on May 15th,
2005. We look forward to serving you with a quality product very soon,
however if you cannot wait, just let us know.

Thanks for your time and understanding,

geesh... this is really a bad news,,, i assume when u say 100% refund that includes the whole amount including taxes paid... correct? is there by any chance that the orders be delivered earlier?

 

im in no hurry i would wait

 

Guys sorry it came to this... but when you tell a manufacturer you want 300 versus 100, they freak out and backup stuff it looks like. I doubt anything will come in before June. I AM in the same boat as all of you who have pre-ordered cause I am still at Stock height as well and refuse to pay double for TWM. So if you are waiting, and can continue to wait, thank you. We have received a few requests for refunds and they are being processed back, however the preorder price will not be offered to those customers at a later date. We will give 100% refund so if you are in VA, you will be refunded the 5% sales tax... We are not here to take your money!

 

looks like a great product, one question, with the 30% shorter shift, are there any defects, slipping out of gear!!??!?!?!, cable problems, nething like that???cuz this def sounds too good to be true thanx

 

will the price change after you get them in stock? is the $89 price a preorder price?

 

isnt it possible to at least take half of the SS from the manufacturer and have it delivered to those who pre-oredered?

 

If it was, you wouldn't of gotten the e-mail. Hands are tied 100% until they get here... PRICE WILL CHANGE Before stock arrives... its not fair to those with the pre-orders in to keep the price at $89. At this time my goal is to change pricing on or about May 15th.

 

Well I'm very excited but in no HUGE rush, I have faith in the product and look forward to getting the shifter in when you can get it here!

 

I didn't get that email...so does that mean I'm getting mine earlier? jk
That sux, but I can wait.

 

any updates yet??

 

with less than 2weeks to go before june comes in, im hoping that our much awaited SS will be available soon...
i would appreciate it if we can get any updates though... BTW, was there already a price increase for the SS?

 

Guys,.... what updates? At this time everything is STILL on schedule for June... the item has been test fitted and is in production... I am simply waiting for them to arrive... we have 300 shifters coming in and will be shipping all pre-orders the same day they come in... Chill
