Of course it is missing the powdercoat. Now I'm just waiting on the exhaust that I have been told is in quality control for inspection since last May. And I bought the quick build kit. I'm glad to see Skystar getting some orders out. But I don't have to much faith that I will see my remaining backordered exhaust before the three year anniversary of my kit.

We bought 10 kits and brought them to South Africa 1 year ago. To be honest the level of service from Skystar since Ed Downs left has been non existent. They never answer emails, never return phone calls, never send out an order without being chased and even then only after several months. Does anyone know what is going on as they have not been answering their phones at all for 3 days and the message answering service is FULL and will take no more messages. Will they go bust OR what?
