Ok guys, I don't mean to be a cry baby and whine but I'm starting losing my patience. Here's what's going on. I've put up an order for Hamann's Diffuser + Roof spoiler which is about 2 months ago with Wheel Power, USA's Hamann supplier. Up until now there is still no news on when my product will arrive. All the excuses that they kept on giving me is "I'm sorry, we're still waiting for it to arrive from German."
I can understand if the product was about a month late due to the diffuser being put in order and has to be shipped through sea all the way from Germany. But what I don't get is that now it's been 2 months and they can't come up with a better explanation or excuse to tell me why my products still haven't arrived. (I would have believed it if they told me the Cargo ship was sunk from a loose torpedo) The sales agent also started avoiding my phone calls (telling the secretary/operator to use the lame "Oh he's not here right now" excuse)
Waiting 2 months+ for a freaking body kit is just ridiculous. I've been suppressing and holding down my itch to get my Quad Exhaust mod done for a lllllloooooonnnnnnggggggg time, but without the diffuser I can't do squat.
Anyone have some sort of connection to Wheel Power or know the higher ups? I want to get this sorted as soon as possible...

I'm not sure how this affects your order but I believe WheelPower is no longer the US Distributor for Hamann. They have a new disti: http://www.hamannnorthamerica.com/
You might want to PM hollywoodtrash since he works for WheelPower.
