I see your in Philadelphia like me. If you don't mind can you tell me where you got yours painted? I have the Ruby Red Tricoat I need to get painted.

I worked in the industry for 16 or so years, material prices have gone through the roof for quality materials. I have a buddy with a shop, played the waiting game for him to get an oxford white vehicle in his shop..... prior to that, his **** retentive painter, primed and blocked my pieces 3 times to make it "perfect", way overkill, but I appreciate it.

Different colors will cost different, based on the tints needed for the color. Some of the pearls are quite expensive.

Also as Austin said the Moody Blues Raptoid Kits should be ready this week or next, cant wait for that!

Snowy night here in Texas means taking my fiancé out and doing donuts in parking lots in her truck!

Well this sucks. Grille showed up today and has brokerage charges on it (i missed where they mention that on the website, my bad) and its only $49 which is fine so i go to pay that (company check or money order only) but the UPS tag is half cut off so i don't know who to make the check out to.
So.... have called boost-bars to see if they know who it is paid to. UPS will bring it back tomorrow and see if i have the info, if not it goes back to the shipper. Really sucks.

EDIT: Boost-Bars customer service came through great as i expected. Might be able to pick the grille up from UPS this afternoon, or worse case i get it tomorrow. Either way im happy with the help i received.

I'm pretty sure it is made out to U.S Customs that's were the charges are coming from not Boost-Bars. My wife paid it for me as I was not home but if I remember right it was made out to the U.S Customs.

what is really crazy about mine is I was told I may have a fee.: I live in KY and I was not charged a fee. I even picked mine up in person at UPS

My big problem was the UPS delivery guy had no idea what to do. I called Boost-Bars while he waited and they said make it out to UPS and they handle the rest but he said no and took it back. But Boost-Bars was correct.... so now i can pick it up from 8pm-9pm tonight if i want.
