Response toe Dennis Reinhart Quotes in Regards to CF FAKE replica Covers:

People not interested include the following:


Killjoy – Posts 2,560

Master- 37 Posts

Suzuki10179- Lame not for me

RR|suki – Wow that a lot of $$$ though isn’t it?

LV-Yes it is, for 50 bucks you can get the same tape on Ebay.

Cobra- 25 - It does Look nice Dennis, I for one don't hold a interest in it ,but thanks for thinking of it..

Fordnut-Looks good. Since I got one of the original CF ones I won't need one, but it looks like it would be easy to get other underhood parts painted to match. Things like the fuse box cover, vacuum canister, throttle cable cover, etc.

LV- Easy to get under hood parts painted to match- evidence to support my claim of you making unneeded charges for your profit.

Cyclopsram…. is a common term of vacuum... However I would just take the stock cover and paint it gloss black for the same effect...and get a new sticker from my local Ford dealer...total invested about $10 bux...

LV-Yet more common sense support for my claim.

Skilz 17109-For $700 I could have a c/f hood made..

Function > Form

LVMARAUDER- Mr. Reinhart, you most unrespectfully and with full business interest to yourself deleted the majority of my post. You have lost all respect with me and inedeed, as time will tell, lost much respect with the Marauder community. I DID NOT modify my post to say I am a marauder Owner I said you were full of S*H^*I)T for Selling this worthless part to Marauder owners. LET ME SAY THIS DELETE THIS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT I WILL DAILY POST IT UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME. TEST ME, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.

On to my opinion , there have been several marauder owners who have called you out on your bull. I am not alone. And you have your answer sir. Stop trying to rape the Marauder community of funds that could go to making the car faster. If you think my words are BIASED you are damned right, I have never thought you as an honest salesmen as so many of your henchmen profess but as a SNAKE OIL DOCTOR. I, LVMARAUDER WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM YOU AGAIN. And I hope other Members will follow suit when they recognize your truly selfish ENDEAVOR.

Micheal Ward- Posts 233, $375.00 to paint a plastic cover no thank you but thanks for asking .
Lvmaruader- Ridiculous as I support, same cane be accomplished on Ebay.


Mike Poore,-

LVMarauder- You sir, are a henchmen, A pawn used by Mr. Reinhart to further his cause, feel proud sir.
I find this sort of post to be offensive. There's a difference between "trying to sell ****" and offering up something a vendor sees as worthy of a look. I note that Dennis reported the unit as painted, for want of a better word, but it's obviously an applied finish not unlike powder coating of various engine parts, or laser applied graphics, which neither make our cars go faster nor reduce weight. It's bling, pure and simple, and, in my opinion, in this case, looks very nice.

Reinhart found these, went to the trouble to post the photos, and offered to get them, if there is enough interest. The notion that he's trying to sell **** is quite a leap, and, frankly, IMHO, out of line.

:LVMARUDER- NO sir, it is the truth and it offends you.

We drive very special cars, these MM's, and many choose ways to individualize them, for better or worse; it's in the eye of the beholder. One thing we don't do here, is point fingers and flame one another over our choices.

LVMARUDER- But One Thing I will do, Sir, is Stand up and defend us Average Marauder owners by protesting this bull.

Either you like Dennis' offering and want one, or you don't, let's keep it civil.

:LVMARUDER- CIVIL LEFT WHEN HE COWARDLY DELETED MY POST. I guess all southerners will use any advantage to defeat us “California Liberals” even those who are Staunch Conservatives From Nevada, I.E. Me.

LVMARAUDERS Reply:
MaginDat, You sir, are EVEN LESS A CREDIBLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

I Quote:
apparently not. Reinhart Performance Engineering is just that, a performance shop. One, as a friend and enthusiast Dennis went to the trouble of sourcing something he found attractive and thought we might also. Two, a performance shop is in no way shape or form obligated to offer 'bling', dude is doing the membership and owners a favor. Three, you think his time is FREE? I give him at least 3 hours at 125 bucks and hour out of time he could have spent hopping up cars and taking in the money. Nope, he spent it on US! Last, but certainly not least, Dennis is ONE OF US who happens to have more access to resources, vendors, etc. He's kind enough to continually offer cool stuff at a good price and I promise you, the profit is just enough to keep the lights on and grandkids fed.

So, Mr. '2 Percenter'. Maybe you should spend some time at the 'grass roots' level, where we share our ideas and help each other out.

It seems recently you like to whine and bag on people and ideas. I, for one, don't love it. Say what you will about me, since now you feel personally attacked. My skin is thick and I need no flame suit, cuz those who know me know what I'm about. Calm down and grow up dude.

As for the CF look trim. Not so much for me. (due to price) Lou's looks freakin' great. I even did some looking myslef after I saw Lou's at SSM picnic. I couldn't find it. Dennis, thanx for spending the time and effort.

MaginDat- From LVMARAUDER- YOU SIR ARE AN IDIOT. I mean that in the full sense and effect of the word. First, You have been played by Dennis like a fiddle. He offers “Bling” to incrase his bottom line with out increasing out quarter mile time. How do you like that sir? If you give him 3 hours at 125, well that your own damn fault, not mine.

Finally DENNIS IS NOT ONE OF US. 1st in my support of this argument is that he DELETED MY POT THAT OPOSED HIM, SOLEY BECAUSE HE HAS ADMIN RIGHTS ON THIS WEBSITE. I WITHOUT A DOUBT KNOW HE WILL DELEE THIS THREAD BUT I WILL REPOT DAILY, NAY, HOURLY , Until THE ENTIRE MARAUDER COMMUNITY HAS HEAD THE TRUTH. Your Reign or Terror sir, IS OVER. If by grass roots level you mean I should Be in is employment and personal expene then NO SIR, you are wrong, try and buy me, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU.
I also double dog dare you NOT TO REPLY , because with your thick skin you wont reply…. I highly Doubt it… see you many times in the posts to follow.

I ONCE AGAIN REMAND MY VOW TO POST THIS AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE,



Dennis Reinhart -
Yes its pricey and every vendor here has to make a profit but not gouge the club, I try and be as fair as I can, and if there is no interest in this so be it, and I will delete the post.

Rider90- Ah maybe it was Dennis then, seeing as he edited LVMarauder's post...

Mysterious then if no body did it


Bradley G- If my memory serves me correct, the real CF ones were less than half of the price quoted for painted.
I recall Big slim got his (damaged)after a lenghty wait.
No interest here, but they do look nice.
 
Not surprising.

Also, it won't be surprising to see the following three things happen:

1) No legitimate response
2) The thread will be deleted
3) The original poster will be quickly banned.

*sigh*

We've all been ripped off be Dennis Reinhart at one time or another. Myself included. Some of us are smart enough to take our business elsewhere. I just choose to ignore Dennis.

Caveat Emptor, my friends.

Edit: A 4th thing will probably happen: I'm sure I'll be banned before too long so stating the foregoing opinion. Oh well...
 
LV spot on,... almost

Well, that's a post from member that may have held back, a bit too long.
While I may not be first in line to order one, If someone wants to part with thier hard earned money to buy one, far be it from me to say otherwise.
Let's face it, there are gobs of mods, that don't give more GO-Go.
The real crime is, mods offered as Go Go +++ that don't .
And, of course deleting posts, that get in your way.
 
So I am sure many of the members here have seen the unprovoked slanderous post against my name over this carbon fiber thread, I called the owner of Hydro Illusions, LLC, there located at

2894 47th Ave. N.
St. Petersburg, FL 33714
Office: (727) 526-2336
Fax: (727) 521-1528

The engine cover cost me 45.00 plus shipping from Ford I then had to ship it to hydro illusions, they charged me 278.00 for this process, and sent it back after all the shipping I would make a whopping 50.00. So for any one to say I price gouged, misled or attempted to do some thing shady, they are simply wrong and have been prompted to do so.

This is why I locked the thread its in my forum, I felt there was not enough interest in this I was doing what I felt was best for the club, if any one has a problem or a question about any thing I sell, all they have to do is call me, I will put you immediately in touch with the manufacturer.

Tom is the owner of Hydro solutions I spoke to him at 9 AM any one here can call him. I encourage you to do so, so you are fully satisfied with what is being stated here. If I called any vendor here or any member here a fraud and a liar I would be banned immediately.
What ever the owners decide is there call I have removed my self form any decisions concerning this matter.
 
This accusation is total BS:mad: . LVMarauder, I really do not understand your mission. You have misinterpreted the whole hood issue here. Grow up and mature. Business is business, you don't like it go away. A "few" of you guys have nothing better to do than manipulate issues to continue to stir up things for the sake of the pleasure of the"few" Reinhart haters...Guess things have been boring for you. Go over to the other site and rant there... It does not belong here. Dennis, you did nothing wrong here.

Administrators, delete this entire thread and ban the trouble makers.
 
If thats true, they were going to screw you. Ca'mon man, even $278. is a leap. $125 at the most for a painted radiator cover. Less if it is done with a decal!!

LOL:lol: The kid has an opinion, how is that something to ban him for? Just because his views might upset some people? :shake:

Why don't you call Hydro Solutions and see for yourself on the costs. Nothing to hide here..If it is too expensive, don't buy it. At least it was offered and not at a ground breaking profit.
 
Stuff I bought from Reinhart:
4.10 gearset
170 degree thermostat
Denso plugs
Plug in tune (Marauder)
SCT programmer (Marauder)
Xcalibrator (for F150)
Driveshaft
Underdrive pulley set

This stuff and Kook's exhaust= 14.26 best time with my rookie driving skills.

Times I felt ripped off, cheated or unhappy: 0

Maybe I was lucky? I dunno- I'd buy from him again if I saw something I wanted. No question about it.

His opinion is fine.... Everyone has one. But to mouth off and create a thread that disrepects anyone is wrong. Dennis has a business as I do. If you don't want to do business with a person that is your choice. It could have been handled with PM's or a phone call to get it straightened out. Doing some research/investigating as well as making a few phone calls would have shown clearly that there was no fraud or lies what-so-ever.

It is just another reason and some peoples agenda to create problems here. I personally am sick of them.....but that is my opinion. Take it somewhere else.
 
That's the neat thing about free enterprise. If you don't like a product, or think the price is too high, you don't have to buy it. Pretty simple concept, really.

Here's a suggestion for you, LVMarauder. First, grow up. Second, quit whining. That gets you nowhere. And third, get real. If you think a $50 profit on DR's part is unreasonable, go out and get a business license and a tax number. Rent a facility and set up shop. Hire employees. Pay payroll taxes, workmen's comp taxes, and all the other duties imposed upon you by our various governments. Then once you've got all that established, find a vendor that you want to do business with, set up an account with them, make all the arrangements for shipping, warranty, etc. Make sure that they make a quality product that meets your standards. And then promote that product. If you're lucky, you might sell one a day or maybe only one a week. Do all that work, and make $50 profit per unit. I'll tell you one thing, you won't retire rich.

Now quit being a crybaby and get on with your life. Good Lord, man, it's only a piece of a car. You act like you lost a leg or something.

I agree. Dennis has always treated me fairly, sold me cost effective parts and is always there to help people out.

Hey bud, how ya doin?

Take another look at my comment. It was not demeaning or insulting. I did not attack Dennis. I simply voiced my opinion. Why are you jumping on me? Surely it is not because of my Trilogy Supercharger choice, so what gives?

Actions like this makes it look like your some kind of henchman. I comment to Dennis, and you jump on me.... :hmmm:

Your logic is flawed, his interest is not in working anything out with Reinhart, his point is to inform the Marauder comunity of what he believes to be the pedling of worthless products, and cutting into other people's attempts to provide products for this comunity. Seems to me his "agenda" is to voice his opinion on things he found rediculous, not sure how PMs would help since he was trying to address everyone. If you look at it in an objective light, this is quite clear.
