See I would have installed it. "Ah, a few scratches" even at its insane/non-value price that gemballa probably charges (I'm cheap - I buy used Porsches - shoot me)...

But I showed these pics to my wife. She says it looks damaged, and that if it was new you should return it. I said, but thats not its use - to look good - just to expell gases and make cool sounds when under throttle and at idle. She said well it doesn't look NEW, and it supposed to be NEW.

You may balk, but I think its a Male/Female thing. Guy would just stick that sucker on and drive. You obviously have different sensibilities, but I don't think you will get ****e from Gembala in the form of CS.

You must have really bitched.

Of course you will have to remember to only wear socks when driving with the new Gemballa pedals installed.....don't want to scratch the pedals.

Or Gemballa read the posts.

CS pedal set is $500 plus and tips are over $1,000 I believe. Nice gesture.

Brendan, I am installing it, because this doesn't affect performance and because they have assured me not once that it's brand new. But I think you're missing the point, which is the following: an item marked as NEW should arrive in NEW condition, ie no scratches, marks, signs of wear/tear/use/whatever. And being upset about an item arriving in a condition other than new is not a male/female thing. It's more like "varies from person to person" thing, because my husband was the first one to see the exhaust and the first one to be appalled by it.

LTC, I realize you're still upset about the reference to your wife being a 5500# pig. It was done in bad taste, I agree, as I'm sure in reality your wife is a lovely " * Svelte, muscular, nubian beauty in manolos". :-D

But once you get over it, I hope you'll start producing something constructive.

* Please substitue "nubian" for any word of your choice & "manolos" for any brand of your choice.

So what did AMEX say? I have the platinum AMEX card and have disputed charges in the past. Its almost to easy !! They always take your side.

Tim, I wired the money b/c they said they don't take CCs. And if they did accept CCs a platinum amex is exactly what I would have used as well. You know, the only thing this card is good for is taking care of things like that b/c their "renowned" concierge program is useless.

I think you're mixed up.
I was the one that was joking that LTC was making reference to all Cayennes as "pigs" - when in fact I was defending my Cayenne, which I lovingly refer to as "bitch" (as a term of endearment) stating that my CAYENNE is svelte, and a Nubian Beauty - hence she is black and sleek and I have a loving relationship with her. I said nothing about anyone's wife???

How are you going to test if the tips are free of combustion?
LTC do you have any suggestions? LOL

Can you say ludicrous posts?

EnigmaWmn

Kooser, no one is mixed up and everyone is joking. Relax and concentrate on photos of your "shorty" doing the testing. Btw, is she a "shorty" because her height allows her to test the pipes without having to kneel down? :-D

Fair enough. And it looks like your husband by noticing it got you 1500 dollars more of some good shwag.

I'm just not getting this east coast humor. It just simply escapes me. Maybe its because I don't drive a pepper.

EnigmaWmn

So, which one is it, Brendan, not driving a pepper or not being on the east coast? :-D

jkb

i doubt its used. it it was used, it would be so dirty you couldn't even hold it in your hands. enjoy additional HP :-)
