Excellent!! Many owners would like the grilles. The roof console thing looks pretty nifty, as I've heard there's not too many places to store things in the car. Also, the 12V power outlet thing won't work in the sedan, huh? Not that I can think of anything I'll use it for.

[kanoswrx]

Sweet, I want a grille :) Any idea on cost or when we can order it?

[Drift Monkey]

The grille is sweet and the rain guards look slick!

[WRXTom]

Nice choice of parts.

I would be interested in the rain guards (since water running off the roof into the car happens regularly), the roof console (depending on how much additional useable storage it offers), the 12v outlet and possibly the grill (depending on how it looks on a USDM model).

Tom

[Drift Monkey]

I'll admit my Legacy has never seen a rainy day yet....but those still look useful/stylish.

[Dr. Zevil]

SNAP! I really like those grills. I haven't seen the Legacy 3.0 grill before. I was also wondering if the cargo area power point is prewired on the wagons or not? I will probably take one if the car is already wired! SWEET! Now check on some headlights :D (sans-yellow turn signal)

Bake yours and call it a day! :P

[Dr. Zevil]

Anyone have a farther back pic of the 3.0R grill on a car (wagons preffered)?

The "knock-out" for the power point is there, but I haven't checked on wiring yet.
The headlights I should have pricing on tomorrow or so, and I hope to squeeze a set in this order still. We'll see how that works out.

Eddy

[axis008]

How are your prices?

[gtguy]

How are your prices?

From my experience, Eddy is fair. He isn't a lowballer like many vendors. His prices reflect the best that he can do, usually. It's a smallish outfit, it would be good to remember.

As an aside, I know it's just me, but as this site becomes a vendor target, it would be nice to more rigorously screen them. The "I can sell it for $5 less than him" stuff that I see on other boards is silly, because it doesn't really help the consumer. After a while the prices get so low that something has to go...knowledge, inventory, service are often casualties.

Kevin

[axis008]

That's good to know. You are right about that though. I read all these horror stories and I guess that's why :(.

[bemani]

Legacy 12v power outlet for cargo area

w00t! ... if I don't have to pull the whole car's carpet up and slice power wires from up front ...

[racerdave]

I like the Sport Grille, but not the extra body-colored piece that goes in the opening...

I believe the one from Oz had just the grille, not the body piece.

[kanoswrx]

Actually its the same one as from Aus. If you look at the Aus. web page they have the exact same picture actually. Its kind of like the STI grille on the 02/03 wrx's, so I like it :)

[Dr. Zevil]

I agree with Kevin, and I know that cc-b is a good vendor from thier rep on NASIOC. We need a vigorous screening schedule for new vendors though. This is not the place to discuss this though..


I will most likely take some parts! The power outlet is pending the wiring. I would think that it should be there.

[brady_bunch]

Sign me up for a sport grille (for a black sedan) with instructions on how to remove the old one and install the new one! :)

[racerdave]

You're right... the angle must've been different or something. But it looks great from this angle. Count me in for the Sport Grille. :)

[Mindflayer]

Those grilles look nice. If we can get full photos of the vehicles with them installed, I'm pretty sure I would buy one of the two.

[cc-b]

Those grilles look nice. If we can get full photos of the vehicles with them installed, I'm pretty sure I would buy one of the two.

That's why initially we are only getting a few of each item. We'll install them and take some "real world" pictures. Catalog shots are nice, but you get a better idea seeing the items on a "real" car.

[Xenonk]

cc-b, great pics and choices of carrying those products.. when can we put our orders in for them? I would like a sedan rain guard.

I don't know how I missed this post here at the best Subaru board of all! At any rate, I'm down for the dibs on wagon rain guards!! 8)

A rep from subaru of america told me on sunday to be careful and make sure the grill is test fitted to a USDM car because the bumper is different , AND the hood. Just thought is give my .02

[kanoswrx]

cc-b, have you confirmed that these will fit the USDM Legacy GT's?

[bemani]

Yes, please post install results. Especially the 12V outlet.

[axis008]

I must admit that's a good photoshop! Not sure if I like how it looks, but it's not bad.

[Mindflayer]

I'm ready to order the sports grill, but I want to ensure that it WILL fit on the USDM model. Can you verify?

[*Jedimaster*]

Just ordered my rainguards- yaaaa-haw! Thanks!

[WRXTom]

How long for delivery? I need rainguards.

Tom

[Limeydriver]

Wagon Rainguards ordered

[STiSubie109]

does the grill fit US? anyone try it out yet? i wouldlove to get one. and how do those rain guards install?

[*Jedimaster*]

Rain guards are fairly straight forward, if they're like the WRX ones. A bunch of clips you install and backed up by double stick tape.

[racerdave]

Yes... Hello, anyone? Does the Sport Grille fit the USDM cars???

[Xenonk]

they should, it's no different in terms of the holes for the clips.

Keefe

[Drift Monkey]

they should, it's no different in terms of the holes for the clips.

Keefe
Holes are only part of the equation?

[bemani]

Since we want to verify that there are no installation problems on our USDM models with these EDM parts, initial quantities will be limited.

So where are the installation results?????????????

[*Jedimaster*]

Hey CC-B- what's the ETA on my rainguards?

[MtnSub]

Thanks for lead to this thread racerdave.
Anyone else think grills would look better without Subaru emblem? If am going to buy a new grill, I want pure asthetics. This is good news about potential part, but is badge optional or easy to take off?

I guess a way to modify stock grill and fit a black mesh screen is not a good/quality approach or it has not been investigated?

Rain deflectors look good/practical, but overhead bin looks like what it is, an afterthought that is a bit bulky and stuck on, not built in, IMO, but it looks like they did a nice job on finish and function.

[racerdave]

As for the plain black mesh grille, I'm not sure anyone in the US has played with it.

I'd have a hard time believing someone in Japan or Oz hasn't done this already...

[*Jedimaster*]

Hey CC-B- what's the ETA on my rainguards?

Would appreciate a response.

[Edvig]

Ditto!

[bemani]

Man, this ccb store sucks.

[Drift Monkey]

Man, this ccb store sucks. :lol:

[bemani]

Haha ... you know the vendor gave up this forum when there's no reply after a comment like that.

[*Jedimaster*]

I sent them an e-mail. I'm surprised they haven't come back to check the thread :roll:

[Edvig]

I sent them an e-mail.

Did you get a response from your email? I placed my order for the rain visors almost a month ago. I'd like to know what's up with them. :|

[cc-b]

Mhhm, I gotta check my settings here, because I receive no forum notifications.

That being said: we were in the middle of moving our web site over to a new host, which went a tad less smooth than expected.
The rain guards are only now just leaving Europe. Subaru kinda botched the order and, combined with the month of August when everybody in Europe seems to go for an extended siesta, caused some major delays.
Everything should be here in the US by next week friday.

Eddy

[Edvig]

Thanks Eddy. Please keep us updated. I hope the rain visors come soon...I'm getting wet when it rains right now.

[*Jedimaster*]

OK- glad you got back to us. So those of us who placed an order are still in teh "Q", right?

[cc-b]

OK- glad you got back to us. So those of us who placed an order are still in teh "Q", right?

Yes, as soon as stuff comes in we start shipping....

Eddy

[Xenonk]

I guess with your change over on the servers, you didnt get my mass amounts of emails of trying to find out when the rain guards are coming in.. well, October is just around the corner.. please keep us informed of the shipping dates..

Keefe

[*Jedimaster*]

Ditto, in to know if we can get these things on before the snow flies.

[nendo]

this vendor just plain sucks.. check out nasioc board for the numerous complaints from them.. i ordered something for my wrx from them online and i got no confirmation and they didnt reply to numerous emails and then 2 months later they sent me an email saying they couldnt get what i asked for...buncha jerks.. i would advise not to order from them.... if u want to go ahead.take a chance

[Xenonk]

Nendo, you do know that the past 2 months they have been switching servers and relocating things?

Keefe

[nendo]

this was bout 7 months ago.. this vendor does not have a good track record regardless.. read up on nasioc.com and check out their vendor reviews

[nendo]

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=357382&highlight=cc-b check out that lil link for vendor rewiews ..i expect vendors to reply to emails in timely fashion, especially ones u have placed orders with.. also cc-b has taught me a lesson in online ordering, i now check up on every vendor before i make any purchase.. a vendors track record is key in online ordering confidence. why take a chance on your money to give to a vendor that is not very professional, and whose reputation has been questioned in the past. altho there r many that have had succsesful orders through cc-b its the fact that many orders also did not go very smoothly or not at all.. buyer beware

[*Jedimaster*]

OK, now I'm beginning to wonder. Does CC-B care enough to even check the threads they started?

[Edvig]

Hey Eddy...any updates on our orders?

Thanks, Edvig

[cc-b]

No, we do not get updates when someone replies to this thread.... I don't know why....

Nendo: can you be more specific? I don't recall what you ordered...

For those people that ordered earlier: It did state on our web site that these items were NOT in stock! We apologize to those people that expected immediate delivery.

We got about 1/10th of what we ordered in, so we will ship out what we have. I have another shipment leaving by the end of the month, and I hope the rest of this shipment plus our remaining parts will be in that order. We are fully dependant on Subaru, and they are having trouble filling the orders.

Eddy

[*Jedimaster*]

What? I ordered as soon as I saw you post here and on Nasioc and was told I had dibs- you guys need to amp up the old customer service.

[jim1969]

Eddy,
Why is it so hard to get a reply e-mail or phone call? I've tried to check up on the status of my order and have left message with your message service and even spoke with Kathy but still no answer. Not good customer service. People may be okay waiting for a product but lack of response make us wonder what's going on. let us know what's up. I e-mail kingofimports.com and get a reply the same day. I sent you an e-mail last week and still no reply.

[awdG35killer]

not a good wqay to start off selling, especially on a new board. i am interested in the sport grill and rain gaurd tho.

is that thing easy to come on/off? i only need it for the 2 months it rains here in SoCal :)

[*Jedimaster*]

Definitely bad business. No response to my 3 day old e-mail. And dibs is dibs- don't tell me I've got them and then give them to someone else. You guys used to be good http://www.cultofthejedi.com/funforum/images/smilies/z.gif

[*Jedimaster*]

Well, I'm out. I e-mailed them this thread and got no response. They obviously don't care, so neither do I. I'll find a reputable dealer to do business with.

[Xenonk]

I have bought things from them in the past.. I am sure they working their best with the change-over on the servers..

Keefe

[nendo]

this vendor avoids questions and cant admit his faults, kinda like prez bush! even more reason not too go thru him. hah

[Dr. Zevil]

Please keep talk of this nature to PM.. I don't know the situation but I don't want any threads in this area to turn into an opportunity for rating a vendor.

Cool?
Pm Chad or I if you need to discuss anything about these matters.
Thanks guys!!

[nendo]

perhaps a parts and vendor review forum would be a good addition to the forums since there r currently none, people needs a heads up when people place their money and faith in a vendor with not knowing anything about them..

[jim1969]

They have ignored repeated attempts by me to find out the status of my order. The funniest part is that they actually have an answering service!!! Why, you don't call anyone back!!!

[*Jedimaster*]

That should be over and done with. That can't be the excuse for months.

Just look elsewhere man...it's not worth the trouble of dealing with these guys.

[*Jedimaster*]

You're right- they sent me an e-mail telling me they are mailing them to me this week- I won't hold my breath, and my credit card hasn't been charged...

[BoxerGT2.5]

Soon the pitch forks and fire will be coming out...:lol: And you all said Vividracing was bad. I've always got my parts from them at a great price and with no delays.

[nendo]

vivid racing were bad a year ago, but they seemed to get their crap together since then.. boy vivid stocks alot of parts,, i try to play it safe and order from worldone even if sometimes their prices r a smidge more

[Edvig]

well...I finally gave up and cancelled my order today. Oddly enough, out of all the emails that I sent asking for an update on the order, my cancellation email was the only one that CC-B responded to.

[chucktoo]

Just got my new European Grill from CC-B today no problems at all.

[*Jedimaster*]

Just got my new European Grill from CC-B today no problems at all.
Wow! That's one happy customer! Any others?

[jim1969]

Just got my new European Grill from CC-B today no problems at all.
How was the installation and did it fit perfectly?

[chucktoo]

Took a little dremel tool work on bottom catches - but no big deal.

Parts are from European H6 - see label

I like the look on my Silver car but that is my bias.

Charlie

[jim1969]

On what did you use the dremel on? The bumper holes or on the 4 clips?

[chucktoo]

Center bumper clip on grill , just cut off little tabs then all fit. Our grill does not have center clip.

[jim1969]

The sport grille had 2 clips on each side. None in the middle. Our orignal grille had one on each side.

[Edvig]

For the record I canceled my order after reading Eddy's response on his nasioc thread, http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613469.

This does not sound like someone who wants my business. I never recieved an order update from any of the 3 emails that I sent to them. Then to read that respose to our queries, I'll never buy anything from him again, nor will I recommend CC-B to anyone..."that's business."

[Limeydriver]

Just got my rain guards yesterday. It took about 70 days to arrive, I got no e-mails but I have dealt with plenty of vendors on the web that do a poor job of keeping the customer notified. They did make updates on their website.
Would I have liked them quicker - yes but they did come through in the end.

[*Jedimaster*]

Also for the record, I got my rain guards in AFTER cancelling the order. I've been trying to contact CC-B about either returning them or getting some sort of a discount for all my hassle.

[Limeydriver]

OK time to eat crow. cc-b sent me SEDAN rain guards. On my second e-mail to them trying to return them with no response. These guys really know how to p*ss off their customers.

[Edvig]

sorry... :(

[*Jedimaster*]

Better Business Bureau anyone? They won't answer me either. I'm thinking that the more of us that call/ follow them around and bother them on Nasicock, etc., the more likely they'll either make good or be made to be miserable.

[njsub]

Well, I probably won't do business with these guys, but I'm wondering if the rain guards will effect the mounting of a thule/yakima roof rack?

[*Jedimaster*]

I can't imagine they would interfere at all.

BTW, these are the most expensive and uselss pieces of 95 dollar a piece plastic I've ever seen.

[Limeydriver]

Progress at last!! - Got a phone message from them today about swapping out the rainguards. Will keep you all posted.

[c_hunter]

Well, I probably won't do business with these guys, but I'm wondering if the rain guards will effect the mounting of a thule/yakima roof rack?

They will be a problem on a sedan, not on a wagon.

Craig

[njsub]

that's what i thought. so i've knocked out the rain guards and ceiling console as possibilities. that leaves the arm rest extension. though i sent emails on the 26th and still have yet to hear anything.

[Limeydriver]

Finally today Eddy dropped off the correct rainguards at my work. So they did come through in the end. Just took a while!!

[Colonel Angus]

so is there anyone else that we can go through that's reliable?

i read this thread from the start and thought that it was great that this guy is local...but in the end seem to forget the simple concepts of business and customer satisfaction.

it could be that he and his crew are busy as hell, but even if that's the case, it's no excuse. :(

[*Jedimaster*]

Let me reiterate: WORST 189 DOLLARS I'VE EVER SPENT AND WORST PLACE I'VE SPENT IT. THEY DO NOT ANSWER E-MAILS AND CARE NOT ONE IOTA ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. BUY THESE IF YOU MUST, BUT DO NOT BUY THEM FROM CC-B. Know what I mean?

[Edvig]

...AND WORST PLACE I'VE SPENT IT. THEY DO NOT ANSWER E-MAILS AND CARE NOT ONE IOTA ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. BUY THESE IF YOU MUST, BUT DO NOT BUY THEM FROM CC-B.

[Limeydriver]

The problem is that cc-b is a part-time gig for Eddy. His wife seems to be left with running the show. It is unfortunate because with good service they should be able to have a great business. I also agree on the e-mail front. They never answered any of mine either.

[*Jedimaster*]

Nice to know the reason, but that still falls under the "Not my problem" category. Either do business or not.

[cc-b]

Nice to know the reason, but that still falls under the "Not my problem" category.* Either do business or not.



I'm pretty easy going, always prepared to cut someone a deal, I'll do whatever I can to help out here and there, and I sell Subaru stuff because I'm as much a Subaru enthousiast as the next guy on these boards. You can find me at the local thursday meet just about every time, but unfortunately lately circumstances have not permit me to go a lot. Ask most of the locals and they'll tell you that* I am just as average as the next guy, and most of the people I hang out with at the meet I consider my friends and had them over at my house for BBQ's, christmas parties or any other lame ass excuse we could come up with to just hang out and BS.



All that being said, and venturing into the territory of "arguing on the internet, even if you win......": You are severly getting on my nerves. Enough is enough. You are repetitive and annoying, and should find something else to do.


Here's my excuse for hardly being able to do anything else but a dayjob, and I dare you to make a wisecrack about it. BTW: that package was delivered two months ahead of schedule:

http://www.coopmans.net/images/V-Twin.gif

[*Jedimaster*]

Well, at least something went ahead of schedule. You're annoyed by me? Look at all the people annoyed with you. Either run a business or don't.

EDIT: twins are a hadn full- my brother has them- best of luck.

[NonovUrbizniz]

I don't much care about how long it takes... are any of these items still available through you?

I want the rainguards REAL BAD... and probobly would be interested in the roof console eventually...

So realistically how long would it take to get a set of rainguards for how much shipped to ct?

well, from observing the posts before this one, if you order now, you should be getting your parts sometime around the time hell freezes over:eek:

didn't Hell (Michigan) froze already? :p

Keefe

[*Jedimaster*]

Geez- I insulted the guy and he didn't even post back :lol:
You have little to no chance of getting him to post just because of a business he doesn't care to work on more than 8% of the time :lol:

You know what? This is nothing but aggravation and disappointment for all but a person or two. Let CC-B make a new thread if they decide to become a halfway decent vendor.
