[PonchoDvr4Lfe]

Posted my ic3 today, on my way to the sheiffs dept. after work. Hope I'm all paid up on tickets!! Maybe calling sheriffs dept. in Houston Co. tonite.

Doubt it, my TV just showed up and it's time to hang it!! Irrelevant, I know.
BTW, I know we all got screwed outta a bunch of money, but if you have some left you should buy a new Samsung LED Tv. IT IS AMAZING!!!

[BwolfGT]

Wow brian id hunt this bastard down.... What did u buy man was it expensive?

No it wasn't too much, I won't miss the cash too bad but I'd just like it back. Wonder how many peoples' refunds will get removed from their account now. Looks like he emptied his accounts and ran.

(478) 953-6154

phone listed to that address

This address is correct, as I have shipped him items to this before.

[Going Too Phast]

Just to update my name, I paid $140. I hadn't filed an IC3, but I just did so it is now accurate.

At this point I have written off actually getting my money back. I just hope this crook gets what is coming to him. He'd make some big guy a good boyfriend in the slammer I'm thinking.

Edit: Oh and Dna, you can approximate the price of the FWI from his FWI thread:

Intake- Includes the FWI,your choice of clamps and a silicone coupleralong with the cover plate -115.00+shipping

145.00+shipping with reuseable cotton gauze type cone filter.
165.00+shipping with k&n cone filter.

[BwolfGT]

I'm out 112 dollars for a FWI intake pipe. I filed as well.

Next time around just make your own for about $50 or $60, that's including the filter. It'll be just as good or better than any other intake.
