I have to agree with mdfud. I sent Shane and email and he responded immediately with answers and options. He then promptly shipped my order and included some other Lettering color options in case I wasn't happy with the one I selected. He told me that he'd be happy to swap mine out to one of the samples if I wanted and would only have to pay for shipping. My car is in the shop so they are stuck to the fridge in the garage right now but they look great. Thank yoiu Shane

Another high five to Shane. He's done a lot of research to find the best materials and he's always gone out of his way to support his product and offer us many options.

Dang, thanks guys. You're making my day. I appreciate shout outs.
Now if I could just figure out how to get magnets to stick to cars without steel fenders (992 / 718)...

While you're doing this, solve fusion and electric car battery problems as well!!!! And why stop at aluminum? Carbon fiber, fiberglass, and more awaits a solution 😀

He then voluntarily shipped another set via UPS in case the pair he shipped USPS didn't make it. Fortunately, the pair he shipped USPS made it and I was able to sell the other pair to a friend. This is the first time in my history of online purchasing that a vendor has followed up post sale on shipping, etc. I haven't had a chance to install the fins but if they're as good as the customer service I'm sure I'll be more than pleased. Thanks Shane!

Will this work for the aluminum cars? 

Seriously, I got a pair of the guards from MagnaFin a few months ago and every time I look at my car, I smile. Major improvement.

I was thinking pop rivets first but then I like the removability of the screws. Far more elegant solution

Yeah, why go Magnetic if you can't remove them?

Genius! Screws all the way around the fins like a 3 piece wheel! Love it

I gave the MagnaFins from @Shane@MagnaFins a try and I was very pleased.
Shane is a great guy with an excellent product and I hope he is successful.
First off USPS didn't have the tracking updated on the order. Shane reached out to me and offered to send another set. I declined as I wasn't driving the car due to weather so I decided to wait.
The product finally arrived and USPS had folded it up and left it half sticking out of my mailbox in the rain.
Fortunately the excellent packing Shane has devised made sure the items were safe and secure.
Speaking of packaging, Shane has done an excellent job of putting together a professional package with directions and that really expresses that this is a quality product.
He even included a had written note and a few bonus magnets.

Installation following the included comprehensive instructions was easy and went great.
I like the fit and finish of the product. The only way they could be better would be if they matched the paint color, but I am more than satisfied with the product and the seller. Thanks Shane!
