Judging off the interest in this thread, patience is a virtue. They seem like they have a good amount to make, and I'm not sure if orders are still open.

Do you have any way of accepting PayPal? I don't see that as an option when checking out on your site.

Am I too late for the discount?

lol call me procrastiNatey. I'll send 125 now and if I'm too late no hard feelings. Let me know and I'll fire off another 10. Thanks for providing these. That lid is definitely one of the FD's weak points,,literally.

Either way please put a '93 finish aside for me. Thanks!

Never heard back and they've been offline here since the 26th. My 125 seems to be in limbo. I wonder if I got in on the GB or...?

Hey just a little update! First off thank you everyone who purchased a map lid! We got wayyyyyy more orders than I anticipated so I've been super backed up. The first wave of lids should be going out Friday and the remainder will go out next week. Thank you all for your support and patience!

Got mine in!
Feels nice and durable.
Great packageing job.
Will install when i refinish all my plastics together.
Thanks for the quick shipping.

I hadn't realized until the other week after seeing a picture you posted that you spray paint the 93 lids with paint. Correct?
You may want to look into curing with infrared lamps or a 2 part paint.
Spraymax makes a 2k satin black hot rod paint in a spray can that works great and would give a similar finish.

You can see below the paint maybe is not fully cured or/and in combination with the summer heat in my mailbox caused the paint to flatten against the plastic packaging.
This is no big deal for me as i am going to refinish all my plastics anyway.

Hey everyone, first off I am very sorry and want to apologize for the inconvenience I may have caused. As stated above I think I may have packaged them prematurely. I'm not exactly sure how this happened as I've been refinishing the map lids the same way for almost 5 years. Either way I'm taking full liability and I'll be doing a recall with 3 options:
1: We can refund you $15 and you can repaint it. We use SEM Landau Black paint:
Amazon Amazon
2: You can send us back the lid (Must ship USPS priority mail flat box-small) and we will repaint it for you and reimburse you the shipping fee.
3: You can return it for a full refund

I hope one of these solutions will be to your satisfaction. Please E-mail me with your Order number, attached photo, and which option you would like to proceed with and I will process it immediately. Please be sure to send the email to Sales@Bubbletech.us so I can keep track of who's orders needs attention
-Benny

Sorry! We got slammed with way more orders than expected and I'm still playing catch up. If a payment was sent, even if it was past pre-order date we've been honoring the pricing and will be shipping your lid with the last batch that we're working on now to get out on Monday.

PLEASE DO NOT send anymore payments via paypal- If anyone is looking to place an order, please go through our website.

I think you'll have to open it and look, Kensin. I ordered from this most recent group buy, received mine a couple days ago, and it's in perfect condition. So not all from the most recent group buy suffered this defect.

I just opened mine and it has a couple bubble marks on it but not a big deal (Its just to easy a fix to worry about). Thanks Bubble Tech for cranking these out and then offering up a fix.
