• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

headlight covers

it does not say that on their website but it comes in different colors including clear like ones i got.

aka1004 - Sorry about the confusion here...I was commenting on jeuchler's post. I will not buy anything from Marcel because of his shoddy business practices.
 
it seems they are slightly different.
cut on the bottom of the cover is little bit different.

I am interested in some of those products. If you dont mind, would you please elaborate on what you meant by shoddy business practices?

Thanks

Numerous people on the other forum will agree with this. I've heard long wait times and products that don't appear finished. My dealings have only been with
the evoIII slider and I tried contacting marcel numerous times with no avail. I got mine pretty quick but when I put it on the curvature of the shield didn't match so in tightening the screws down, I got a hairline crack. Then a few months later the hardware for the slider rattled loose and I had do do my own work.

He's taken money from people and not delivered expensive products... like $ 5,000 products ! Doesn't return emails, calls, etc. He sold 'vaporware' items that he had not actually made yet.

Snake oil salesman who actually made a few decent products, but doesn't know how to run a business or how to deal with customers--- in particular after the sale!
 
i don't think marcel is a crook but just don't know how to run a business and he stretches himself too far and he does not have good employees which are his family.
it's a mom and pop type of company where marcel does the work and his wife does the paperwork. i have talked to his wife few times and she is very nice but does not have a clue and marcel not only does R&D and production, he is on the track racing alot so his plate is full. i have a feeling IF they have a computer, it's a x386:p

the biggest problem people have F1 is that they are very hard to get hold of. that's probably a very very big understatement thou. they rarely pick up their phone and never reply to emails and voice messages. now when i do get a hold of someone, their service has not been bad but usually takes 50 phone calls...

my first slider had problem with sticky sliding mechanism so i called him and after about 60 calls marcel picks up and i tell him the problem and he sent me another windshield without a question.

on the 2nd windshield i just got, i was promised it will be shipped 7 days after my order was place but it was not. after like 50 calls, his wife picked up and she apologized and had it shipped 2nd day on the 11th day.

BUT it should not take 50 calls to reach someone to begin with and no return calls and emails will hurt their reputation. at least they switched to paypal rather than your credit card charged to some company in another state... i don't know what that was about.
 
i just passed an order for mine but they are asking me witch one i want velcro or bolt on ....witch one do you guy's recommend

Tinted headlight covers are illegal in most, if not all, states. If you want to ride it, I would suggest the velcro. Not sure how they compare in looks or performance.
 
thank's for the info but i ordered clear, just debating on screw-on or velcro...i guess im going to go velcro and probably glue them on insted of having a model with holes in it...going to chrome the headlight hole....hhihi going to look like venom eyes
