Lumma Project - Phase 1

[donibm]

UPDATE: mats, pedals, entrance boarders arrive tomorrow.

Bonnet (hood) is being made. SF said it should be in thier next shipment, which is nother 5-7 weeks. So, dont' expect the bonnet to arrive for 2-3 months.

I'm used to this now.

I did not get the wheels becasue Lumma informed us that the wheels will "stick out" a bit. So, I need to put the kit on first.

Either way, it's always the WAITING that causes delays ... after about 2-3 weeks of going back and forth just to order the product.

Can't wait to see the hood on!

not too happy with the mats. I told them that I had a beige interior, so I expected a BEIGE Lumma logo.

Still, I think I have an idea where I'm going with the interior anyway. So, I may not even use the mats. Picture attached.

Stick to the simple stuff. There is ALWAYS something that is going wrong with these guys and Lumma. Even in my latest pics. Notice the difference in texture and color between the door sill and pedals. And the mats look worst than stock mats! So, I'm going to have to have the body shop retexture the door sills to match the pedals (and darken the "Lumma")

Nothing I can do with the mats except use them. They are black, so they can hide dirt. So, I'll use them as everyday mats. I'll get another pair and have someone do the uphostery on the edges (beige).

Seriously, stick with the simple stuff. Lumma is too far away for you to speak wtih them directly, and IMO, SF doesn't have enough product knowledge to be effective sales agents on the more complex products.

I thought Lumma's products were of the highest possible caliber and prestige, forged with the tears of peasants and blessed by all of the world's major religions before being delivered to their discerning customers.

But now you are saying that they are lacking in quality and consistency? What a horrible turn of events.

LOL!! Well, I suppose it's all about location. USA customers apparently get short shafted ... Oh well, guess I'll be getting my Lumma custom parts from top-car from now on. lol Either way, the show goes on ...

Mats are a very MINOR detail compared to everthing else. So are the entrance boarders. Minor, but expensive in comparison to thier competitors. The actual Lumma parts, like the eyelids, roof extension, kit, wheels, etc are very good. But when it comes to the special orders ... they suck (and I blame the "middle man" for most of the aggrivation). Wish I could connect with Lumma myself to make sure I'm getting exactly what I'm asking for when it comes to custom parts.

Bad news ... kinda.

Purchasing the house and furnishing it have taxed me financially. In fact, cost me as much as buying an X5M - literally. Second problem is, eStrictly Foreign seems to have gone out of business. Talk about being stuck between a rock AND a hard place with this project.

Honestly, I don't know what's going to happen now that eSF is no longer in operation. I may just install the bonnet and stuff and then spray the bumpers body color and call it quits. I don't like Hamaan, G-Power or ACS kits, so, I doubt I'll do any of those.
