Well alrighty. I'm guessing that means the turn around is pretty slow.

If you go back and read the thread... the first batch hasn't been received yet. Pretty slow indeed. But the guy seems to have decent creds on other forums, I doubt he'll stiff anyone... guys have had to wait a really long time for the R&D on these it looks.

Interesting part... but think I'd rather body color match the whole bumper. Not sure.

if you can make your own, go ahead.
these ones being made will be amazing I'm sure.
BUT yes the tun around time has been about 6 months already.
But agian as others have said, Slimmbones has a great rep and the part he is making is not usual for him to mold, so he taking his time to be honest it seems.
anyhow, Rick (Slimmbones) said he should have a first run of production skid plated done yesterday night, but I have not been in contact yet. I'm out camping with VERY little coverage.

Cool beans. I'll be patient and wait until a finished product is completed and posted.
