First, the original thread was locked because I sent Dennis a link to an old thread about the original CF radiator cover GP. From that thread he learned that he was mistaken on the price that Kelly paid for the cover he had. Kelly did spend over $700, as DR stated. But he got 3 of them, and they weren't the CF version they were just fiberglass because he wanted to paint them. The orignal GP price was $250 for the CF ones, about 2 years ago. The manufacturer lost money on them and it took a lot of aggravation to get them to finish the project. Some orders may not have ever been filled, refunds may have been issued. IF they were to make another run of the true CF ones, I would imagine the cost would be around $400.

No, I do not own a Marauder but I still enjoy them. As for Dennis, I have had only have "minor" dealings with him. I purchased my SCT PRP from him as well as a tune for my Crown Vic. He was always helpful and took time to answer all my questions. In my limited capacity I have had a good experience when dealing with DR. Just my .0000002 cents worth. :)
 
Jesus. I was scared just reading this thread! WTF is this forum coming to??!! For christ sakes, SVTP, CVN, and thousands of other forums have WAY MORE members than we do, and they all get along!! You don't like the stuff he offers, don't buy from him, plain and simple! Why does all of this non-sense have to occur here? I have no input really, I just wanted to bring the sanity back to this site.
 
Man How'd I miss this one? Seems a lot to do over a piece of painted plastic.

Reinhart has done a lot for the Marauder, some like him some don't, but coward and liar because he's selling a piece of equipment? a little much. I frequently ask for his opinion and he readily gives it, I haven't purchased anything from him in a long time either. Thats a good sign guys.

The only thing saw good out of this is that someone else thinks defyantwife is annoying also.:P
 
I have read this thread through repeatedly since its demonic conception...I present to you my dealings with Dennis Reinhart for your flaming or support...

RoadPig 1 developed serious transmission problems 4 months into her rebirth. DR was called, lengthy chat ensued with no screaming or threats from either side. " Get RoadPig to me any way you can so I can make this right", was his exact quote. With my bizarre and hectic schedule this didnt happen for approximately another 4 months...but DR and I kept in contact and we knew it would happen as soon as life for both of us settled down. RP1 did get to Orange Park and DR,Steve,Tigger and myself dissected the transmission. A new Level 2 tranny with only my original Stallion TQ where reinstalled. I got to drive the BlueBeast of the shop for my overnight in Jacksonville which was an honor in itself. Do you want to know what the ticket was on this ? Guess !
Give up ? ZERO...NADA...ZILCH...Sure, I spent money on a trailer,hotel and food...but hell, I would do that just to hang around there and be a spare set of hands...

Enough of my pontificating...this is an example of Dennis Reinhart. Period. Stop the schoolyard bully stuff and lets enjoy our Marauders together as best we can...Theres only 11k of them...

:cool:
 
Wow, the things that go on while I'm at work or don't get on for a few days.

As it has been said a million times already if you don't like something then you don't buy it. People have to remember the Marauder is a one of kind car and their ONLY A FEW companies that make or custom make stuff for our car so yes the price of stuff is going to be more that's just how businesses run.

I've purchased a few things from DR and have never had a problem and will continue to buy things until otherwise.
 
I'm pretty sure that LV's main issue was that a lot of his post in the carbon fiber thread was deleted without explanation.

It must have seemed like an injustuce to him.
 
Think about it?

I can not say for sure but, I guess if posts are being deleted on a thread they are off topic. I have posted deleted when Logan ran the show. It is life on the internet.
 
Ouote from LV;
"My problem is that I actively try to beat the time difference but never can, and when I offer up to DOUBLE the asking price of items I am turned down. Does that make much sense to anyone? It doesnt to me."

It is called integrity and it makes sense to me.
 
My Experience with DR Automotive

All have been good. Many of the big ticket items on my car were bought from DR Automotive. Dennis personnally expedited shipment of a major piece that was hung up in red tape.

I have purchased products from other vendors on this site and can testify to their excellent service and products.

I met Dennis at MV4 and, although he wouldn't remember me, he is a gregarious personality, helping the other racers in the staging area with technical tips, driving tips and generally being a man of service. Never saw him frown, just happy to be around what he considers his automotive family.

The assertion that he is a coward and fraud is out of character for him.

As with any personality there are several facets. Another member posted that he thought DR was "perfunctory". Over the phone he is, but it's like his time is limited so he doesn't mince words.

I will continue to buy products from DR Automotive, and if he was closer to me I would avail my car to his services.

flaming thread

So I am sure many of the members here have seen the unprovoked slanderous post against my name over this carbon fiber thread, I called the owner of Hydro Illusions, LLC, there located at

2894 47th Ave. N.
St. Petersburg, FL 33714
Office: (727) 526-2336
Fax: (727) 521-1528
email: info@hydroillusions.com


The engine cover cost me 45.00 plus shipping from Ford I then had to ship it to hydro illusions, they charged me 278.00 for this process, and sent it back after all the shipping I would make a whopping 50.00. So for any one to say I price gouged, misled or attempted to do some thing shady, they are simply wrong and have been prompted to do so.

This is why I locked the thread its in my forum, I felt there was not enough interest in this I was doing what I felt was best for the club, if any one has a problem or a question about any thing I sell, all they have to do is call me, I will put you immediately in touch with the manufacturer.

Tom is the owner of Hydro solutions I spoke to him at 9 AM any one here can call him. I encourage you to do so, so you are fully satisfied with what is being stated here. If I called any vendor here or any member here a fraud and a liar I would be banned immediately.
What ever the owners decide is there call I have removed my self form any decisions concerning this matter.

21 yrs old. What do expect??? I wish that I could have eaten some of the words I said when that age. I have seen the carbon fiber painted ones, and no compairison to just black. Some people will pay extra for a billet batt.case, or a dip stick.. It's their perogative. Why critisize what people like??
 
Huh?

What is this in referance to? What is LV trying to beat the price on? Why is willing to pay double? For what? I do not understand the quote.
PM me if you care too:)
Thanks

That was from the thread that LVM claimed using the Classified Section wasn't fair because he lives in the Pacific Time Zone, 3 hours after Eastern Time and misses out on all the great classified deals, even though he offers double the price on items already sold.
 
I've seen alot of improvement over the past Year with Dennis Reinharts Business. And I respect that alot. Personal attack's are not welcome here of any kind. Let's keep it simple, If Vendor sells a product and you don't like it or the price don't buy it. I've bought many Items from Dennis over time and will continue to do so, if I want something he is selling.
 
All of my dealings with DR have been a+.


Why is there always drama on here? ITS A FREAKIN CAR!!!! This is supposed to be your hobby,your favorite past time,your therapy....why let it turn into drama and stress you out? People these days....
 
I seriously think that a "War Zone" forum should be added to this site (like SVTP has). Any big controversy can just be done in that particular forum... any threads that go a-stray can be moved there by admin. There are tons of problems between guys over there, but most wouldn't know it because it is pretty much all contained to the War Zone.

What do y'all think?
