I'm starting to get worried that we don't have a start date yet when they originally estimated completion in February. They've had these things an awful long time.

I spoke with PMI today.  I was told the first mold did not turn out a good product and they are working to correct it.

I realize we are now into mid February and we expected to be seeing delivery.  I'm told it will be a few more weeks yet. I appreciate your patience, it looks like they are doing everything to give us a quality product.

Thanks for the update Loren .
I,m glad there being up front about the quality anyway .  I would rather wait a little longer and have a quality product than  get something i,m not happy with .

These things always take longer than expected, I did not order one but I have been following along and thought their February estimate was extremely optimistic.

Loren

I will definitely choose quality over speed.

I intend to keep my car a long time and I don't want to be looking at my dash as I slip behind the wheel thinking it should have been done better.

Thanks for keeping on top of this.

Loren is recovering from emergency eye surgery and so he might be a bit slow to respond to your question.  Here is the thread announcing the surgery:

In the meantime don't forget to have . . . . .
