Well, he emailed me back, finally, after I emailed him thru one of his ebay auctions,

This was his reply...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>jeremy, if i remember correctly the deal also was that
you had all these people lined up to buy this hood as
soon as it was done, it seems though that everyone has
backed out on your end, to date i have sold one hood,
plus your free one and my cf hood that has since been
removed and trashed in favor of my old ram air hood,
in other words you got a free hood!!! and i spent
close too two grand producing a hood mold that has no
interest and is simply gathering dust...i would have
had no problem sending you the other scoops or paying
the other half of shipping if what you siad about the
resale of these hoods were true, if i would have known
this i would have simply returned the scoop you sent
me,,,
curt </div>


And this was my reply back, that I still haven't recieved anything on...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>No man, that was the deal with the Fenders that I was going to get done.
Never with the hood. The deal with the hood was that I sent you the scoop,
AND $300 to pay for the hood and the 2 scoops. I was going to take all the
pictures for you to use for fitment and to sell the hoods yourself, and you
were gonna have free use of the scoop I sent you. Then when you made my
hood you liked it so much you put it on your car. I don't blame you, it's a
hot ass hood. You even made them for the GK 3rd Generation Tiburon. Later
we discussed S/H for the deal and that was a 1/2 and 1/2 agreement. I told
you that I'd push the hood and show it off, but as of now I still cannot
mount it on my car because it's got no latch, like you told me it would
have, and because you sent me a used hood with hood pin holes already
drilled in it I can't use my hood pins. The last thing I heard from you was
a quick note that you were sending me the hood off of your car (I was pissed
at first but it's a fantastic hood, no biggie) and that you didnt' put a
latch on it. No one is buying the hoods right now because everyone at all
the sites know that you have an outstanding order with me still and that
your hoods are on hold thru Importshark.com until it gets straightened out.
About 4 people expressed interest in my hood at www.rdtiburon.com and really
wanted one until they found that I'm still waiting. I didn't get anything
for free my man, I paid you $300 Via Paypal, here is the info...

Dude, I really appreciate the work you did for me. As soon as I
get home and install this sucker, I'll send you a crapload of pics, closeups
of the hinges and everything. You rule, it's great to have someone that
will do custom work for us. Let me know how them new fenders are coming. I
still can't find any hood pins with key locks. Can you help me out here?
Silver or blue in color. Hell, even black if it won't scratch off really

I'm not trying to be a prick Curt, I'm just trying to get this finished.
You always worked hard with me on this and your craftsmanship is fantastic.
I told everyone that. Other than the chip in the edge of the hood, and the
fact that it was a bit scuffed up from lack of packing materials, it's
fantastic. I don't even REALLY care about the Hoodpin holes man, I just
can't install it until I get someone else to put a hood latch on it so It
doesn't get broken into. I am fully willing to tell everyone that you've
taken care of everything and even PROMOTE your hoods for you again when this
is finished. I'll even email Tom at Importshark.com and let him know that
it's all taken care of. I just want what was promised to me out of good
faith my man. Remember when we started this I was stationed in Korea and
all? I can see how it got confused between this and the fenders, but that
project is dead as they are no longer made in Korea. Hell, there's even
several folks that said they'd be all over that hood, if it were made in CF
too. I know you can do those too.

Help me so I can help you man. I consider you a friend and friends dont' do
stuff like this man. I don't want folks thinking you are part of Shark
Racing. I've been workign with David from Kspec.com for quite a time now
and I know how hard it can be to keep up with some of this stuff, especially
if it's only one or 2 people running everything. If you still have your
Tib, I can help you get anything you want for it from Korea man, I'm always
having group buys over on Rdtiburon.com .

Thanks for your time Curt, and really, thanks for emailing me back.

UPDATE!!!

This is important folks, Curt changed the name of Custom Composite on Ebay to xtremecreationspbc .

It's the same guy, you can click here to see his prior usernames.

http://contact.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws1/eBa...emecreationspbc

As for what's happening, I finally got his attention by emailing him thru Ebay and telling him I was going to contact my credit card company and have them refund all the charges.

He offered to send me my other 2 scoops, but nothing on the S/H he owes me. He hasn't responded again in a month.
