SteveJ Posted January 13, 2023 Share #193 Posted January 13, 2023 Just now, JagoBlitz said: Hi, I received two dashes and each one had too much vinyl cut away - either at the center gauges or at the vents. Am I just extremely unlucky? Is this a new problem with a new batch? Or is this normal and most people accept this? Did you go back to them and ask about it? From what I've heard from other people, they stand behind their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagoBlitz Posted January 13, 2023 Share #194 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) First photo is from the first dash and the other one is from the replacement. The problem is that the commmunication is not very good (it took me a couple of months to get a replacement) and I live in Germany which always causes additional shipping and fees with customs. The replacement dash look better at the center gauges, but the air vents are now the problem. But TBH I lost faith in them. Before shipping I received photos which showed the center gauge area and the photos were not from the dash that I then eventually received. There is no alternative, so I either have to live with it or find a way to repair it. Edited January 13, 2023 by JagoBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted January 13, 2023 Share #195 Posted January 13, 2023 I wouldn't lose faith until they wouldn't stand behind their product. It doesn't sound like that's the case yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted January 14, 2023 Share #196 Posted January 14, 2023 @theguppies Maybe they still check the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagoBlitz Posted January 14, 2023 Share #197 Posted January 14, 2023 I know that you want to help me and I appreciate it, but I still would like my original questions answered. I was offered a refund, if I sent back the dash, but I need a good dash. Is this a new problem with a new batch? Or is this normal and most people accept this?

Zed Head Posted January 14, 2023 Share #198 Posted January 14, 2023 I don't know that there are that many Vintage Dashes out there to evaluate. I'd also bet that many of them are sitting in their boxes waiting for the rest of the car to get done. You might be doing them a favor by pointing out this problem. It's not clear who you've been talking to and the details. The part about the refund is new. I agree that somebody screwed up on the trimming of your two dashes. This is the best place to discuss it. They need to reply. @theguppies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foosman Posted January 14, 2023 Share #199 Posted January 14, 2023 FWIW, I bought a 240Z Vintage Dashes unit a few years ago, assembled it, and then put it aside until I was ready to install it (still a few years off, likely). I don't remember any such issues. Hung Vu is a lot more active on the Datsun Facebook groups than here, so you may want to reach out to him there if you haven't already.

HusseinHolland Posted March 27, 2023 Share #200 Posted March 27, 2023 Looking at one of their dashes for my 75 280Z. I haven't had any luck with messaging off the website, or with FB messenger. I found the phone number in this thread, so I've tried texting. See what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusseinHolland Posted March 29, 2023 Share #201 Posted March 29, 2023 No replies to my email, FB message or to the phone number listed earlier in this thread. I have to wonder if they still are in operation. Can't find a valid address for the company either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's having supply chain issues with the supplier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HusseinHolland Posted March 29, 2023 Share #204 Posted March 29, 2023 Ok - they just replied to my message on FB, and I went ahead & bought one of the two non-blem dashes he had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
