ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[BroncoBoy22]

APG can't make any statements! Simple fact that a statement would connect them to this financial disaster. Smartest thing is just to legal up and drag it out, by the time this is sorted ADV could be bankrupt.

$5K x 100 deposits is a half million. Lots of money if you already spent it.

Ah gotcha! Makes sense

Well... just read the lawsuit.

That is a gigantic serving of cash flow problems with a heaping side of "we don't actually know what we're doing".

Honestly this sounds like a business-ending event for ADV Fiberglass. No refunds means they don't have any cash on hand... probably because they gave it all to APG so he could (apparently) go off and manufacture hopes, promises, and dreams.

So those prototypes weren’t just cobbled up by hand . There is somewhere in china a shop that has tooling for these things and the pissing match is between APG and ADV.

So yeah they will be out on Amazon or Mabbet in a year or so

All I’m going to say on this is that we need to wait for both sides. I trust APG, I don’t trust ADV and I have no skin in the game.

People need to remember that ADV is making the claims in the lawsuit document. ADV is also the ones who took the money and been making promises.

At this point its pretty much a 1 sided story, waiting for the truth not the fake damage control.

Read the exhibits (agreements). APG had to be aware of that fact that, for years, ADV hasn't been delivering a product that APG was supposedly manufacturing for ADV under those agreements. And all the while, radio silence while people paid thousands for a nonexistent APG product.

There's no way in hell I'd give APG a dime.

Yup. They just need to ditch the close celled foam idea like the other manufacturers

No refunds if you got it and hated it.

Taking money, not delivering and not refunding that money is something the FTC would find particularly interesting.

I just want to say, even though I'm not in the market for a top (it's a 2dr anyway...), thank you to @Turn Offroad and @TURN Todd for producing the top that drew away a lot of buyers of the ADV top on 6g. I know @CTwaterfowler and @evgenyvasenev have to be breathing a big sigh of relief.

And to those still in the bind, good luck. I hope you get at least something back.

I am really sorry for everything that happened and for the people who are potentially losing their money. I am glad I made that decision. Now I am not missing the summer and I am able to take all the trips I was dreaming of!

Advanced Fiberglass Concepts screwed me out of my hard top. I ordered it last June and they kept giving me different excuses from supply chain issues to the foam injecting system broke down. About an hour ago I got a call from them saying that I’m getting my $$ refunded to me tomorrow. The latest excuse was that their supplier promised a product and couldn’t deliver. They also said that an explanation of the lawsuit will accompany my refund check. Did anybody actually get one of their hardtops? Or was anybody else screwed over by ADV?

i just got the invoice for my tor top and am waiting for todds call for the CC information. scheduled to ship next week.

ALL I CAN SAY IS I DODGED A BULLET. when adv went from weekly updates to the projected 20 day business days updates i sent them the request for a refund first thing John was very gracious and I had the funds wired into y bank account the next day. huge sigh of relief. I was really hoping it wouldn't end this way but it has. feel for those who will get burnt. they lawyers will get their money and god knows when the customers will see any money.. could be years.

also the freight for the adv top is 400 more than the tor top, both in California. figure that out .

You need to check out this thread - and possibly contribute. It sounds like some customers are under the impression they can't get a refund:

ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

And no, nobody got a hard top.

They actually told you they would give you a refund?!?!

I received an email with a video that they would not be issuing any refunds.

If you manage to get that refund, you were not in fact screwed. You escaped.

 

[adamruiz2001]

If you get a refund, take it and run....

Don't worry folks - You can still buy your ADV hard top from other retailers, such as this one:

And this one directly from APG pimping on behalf of ADV!
