Well that is not good…. However I did receive communication that the top is headed to customs. We’ll see

Yes it is indeed
We had 6 orders. They're at customs and the shipping process will be initiated soon. Have conveyed this to all the buyers. The delay has affected business. But the product is better now

I guess I will take this opportunity to say the altimeter pod I got from him turned out to be complete junk and useless as far the internals of it goes. I get buying used parts is a risk but this thing is more trash worthy rather than used part. I haven't even tried to resolve the issue anymore at this point.

Don't worry I'll send you a replacement as soon as I get one.

I ordered a steering wheel in “factory oak/brown” on June 4, 2022. I only received minimal communication after the sale, and some
PM’s requesting updates went unanswered. Originally quoted 2-3 weeks for arrival but did not get it until much much later, but it did arrive. Now after a very short period of time after mounting the steering wheel, is has completely reverted back to the factory gray color after clearly being dyed. I have not cleaned or even got the steering wheel wet at all. No touching other than mounting it bc my 100 has sat bc of gas prices lately as it is not my DD. I mean…this has been all around sketchy, for an almost $400 steering wheel.

This is gray. Also shared this photo with you, so that you know the difference.

not sure what color you think this is, but I can assure you, IT IS GREY!

In 20 years of ownership and heavy handed usage, the other one is still very brown and hasn’t faded once…yet strangely after a couple weeks, this “brown” FADES mysteriously into grey….

Yeah OK BRUH

Did you ever get your top installed?

We ordered one for a customers HZJ73. We are missing multiple frame pieces. Have tried reaching out on Mud and email multiple times with no response back. @JDMStanNTopSoft

I did install it last fall. I had all sorts of problems with it. About every piece had to be modified.

I posted pics of some of what i did.... starting here...on page 46

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your project! FYI, I was not super impressed with the carpet from Amazon. I expected something heavier like what is on the ARB, and it was not that heavy. I could not find anything else that looked better, so used what I had. The bad was that it...

What pieces are you missing?

My steering wheel from JDMStan did the same thing-it was oak/tan and looked like a new one when I received it but now it has turned to grey? Well not really grey but the oak/tan color has faded away,it matched the airbag when I installed it about a year ago.

Hello Cole,

We reviewed the photos you sent. No hardware pieces are missing. we sent 10 pieces, and your photos show the 10 pieces. You are most likely installing in incorrectly. I’ll message you a number of a colleague who can guide you with installation.

Have shipped a lot of these to the US and Europe. Very few (not saying no one) had issues installing these. We had a JDM spec vehicle at our disposal. We used it to fabricate the entire hardware on it. The same dimensions have been used for all the hardware and soft top we have manufactured. The entire process is handmade, so maybe there are slight variations… Jason was our first customer, and @FJBen is our unofficial brand ambassador with his gorgeous photos !

It’s disappointing that it took you 36 days to respond to my emails/Mud messages to get this resolved and you provide zero instructions for the installation of your soft top. For the price you charge, the customer service is severely lacking.

I'm looking at this from the cheap seats. But for the life of me I can't figure out how folks toss their money on the other side of the world
for used parts and are shocked and appalled to get very little support with a problem. I just don't get it.

Stan says it's my airbag that's faded not the steering wheel? Does anyone else think the airbag looks faded in this picture?

In the picture, the airbag seems very close to the dash color, which looks like the original OEM color. Outside of the wood area, the steering wheel looks closer to a "vomit" or "baby poop" color.
