Hey guys, Ive been thinking about this for along time. With all the media attention and recoreds that 9ff has been setting.........why is no one biting? It seems that no one really wants there aftermarket packages? Or I could be wrong.

 

i think the aftermarket exterior parts are hideous...

some one posted pics of their work..and they looked liek crap the welds were jacked iimho....

 

there was a serious customer service issue a couple year back.

I think they took someones money up front and then delayed delivery of the parts for a really long time. I could be wrong, but I think that's what happened.

 

I think nobody is feeling the look of their cars.

Bottom line, if their **** looked hot as hell, I think several of us would be sniffin' around regardless of their semi-questionable rep.

I mean they are NOT Hennessy (yet).

my .02

 

I would never use 9ff.

 

Thier stlying for one is just awfull....then there is the previous ripping off cutsomer factor

 

DJ,

I am not a fan of their style, however they are making some serious power and do hold the top speed record. As for "ripping off" ............ I believe the blame is being placed in the wrong direction. The customer who was ripped off was JRO. I understand the one who ripped him off was the sole USA representative who was not owned by 9ff. I don't remember the guys name. It is my understanding 9ff in Europe removed the sole USA representative as being their representative and made things right with JRO or John. I believe there was about 30k involved. 9ff stepped up to the plate and took the hit to keep John satisfied. They did not own the company that ripped off JRO. You have to give them alot of credit for doing that. If John is around he may may want to comment further.

 

I remember their US dealer was dishonest. People paid for parts that were not sent. I think 9ff eventually sent several of those people the parts direct from Germany after the US dealer disappeared.

 

EBAKER AND CJV,I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT.THAT WAS THE WAY I HEARD IT TO.THERE WAS A CUSTOMER AT THE DEALER THAT WAITED FOREVER FOR A WING,IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IT CAME FROM GERMANY.

 

that was the US distribution which wasn't technically affiliated w/ Germany. However Germany ended up giving them a full refund. The German shop has had no complaints from what I can tell.


edit: see some people beat me to it

 

yeh 9ff softwear is very good too

Wow chad - great info thats good to hear they stepped up to the plate like that...I was always under the impression they were not on the up and up...glad to see I am not correct this time!

 

yea, if i'm not mistaken I think everything was resolved before this site even started, or shortly after.

 

The only aftermarket company that will get my money is Ruf.

 

That abous sums it up - I think they did make it right for John, who lives about 10 minutes north of me. However I think most people just remember that the "company" ripped someone off and they've left it at that. That's the power that these internet forums hold -
