Got this email from him today, maybe he has turned a new stone, lol

Hello,

My apologies for not replying earlier due to circumstances.
Your order will be ready next week. Normally we need 3 weeks for fabrication, but there's some delay. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Just called PNC Bank and the funds have been put back into my account.

This guy is the epitome of scum bag.

I highly recommend http://www.heiler-tachodesign.de/. They have pre-made color gauges, and can create custom ones as well. Here's the one they made for my car:

I should have looked at this thread since Tuesday.
I ordered 1 from Ed @ D-Werk as he responded well to my e-mails.
Guess I will have to wait and see what happens...

Thanks,
Dave

Dave -- sometimes it takes two emails. English is not their primary language. I've ordered twice from them; the items were shipped promptly both times.

Chris -- if you're referring to the picture above, that's a Rothsport billet short shift lever; specifically the version made for the FVD goldenrod. I'm running it without a traditional leather shift boot, so you see the exposed rubber boot.

ah... ****.. why couldn't I find this thread before??
I tried to do a search for whether DWERX was legit or not.. but nothing came up so I thought bugger it!

I ordered a gauge face but to date, no replies to any of my emails.

On another note, my credit card company cancelled my card the other day due to suspected fraudulent activity.. wonder if it is related???

I gave Ed a little more than a month since my order in mid-January.
No responses to my e-mail requests.
I just had my C/C Co. cancel the payment this week.

It's too bad because it looks like he makes a good product and there are not many people making these gauge faces.
Who do I use now?

Thanks,
Dave

I'm going to make this thread a sticky to help protect other consumers.
