Mine's Shadow Black so I'm good. Raises a good question for any other color though.

Maybe I read the instruction sheet wrong… I thought you reuse the original bolts and then they get covered by the plate so they are not visible.

OK! I bit on this also, due to overloading of my tailgate. Seemed like a good idea at the time….

My last 2 experiences with FPP were nothing less than debacles, so I am not expecting much. So far….a week….(?), zippo email information on my purchase. When it might be shipped, etc. I ordered it sent to the dealer, so I won’t have to worry about funding black lug nuts again ( when I ordered a differential cover) for 10 weeks and multiple phone calls, before the diff cover was finally shipped. Hopefully the parts department at the dealer will call me after the support has sat on their floor for a couple/three weeks. Not holding my breath however.

I may have screwed myself calling in to check on my order the other day. They sent me an email giving me an updated status alright — my order was cancelled per MY request!

Well not really my request, but it was cancelled either way. Called back and they said the parts were on back order. The rep said unless I saw 2 green checkmarks on the website (ship to home AND dealer) then it would be cancelled again if I reordered.

She gave me a number to FP to investigate further. 888.826.5105. The poor guy there wasn’t extremely helpful but said they were on back order until 2/20 and no idea why my order was cancelled. His suggestion was to ignore the other rep and reorder.

LOL, that was my plan anyhow so I just reordered. Same discounts but chose the dealer option this time which said they will have by 2/12.

Good times.

Not sure what DEI means?

Sooooo….

One week down and we are still in processing?

Cool, if I order something and don’t really care when it gets here did I really need it?

They just charged my CC

I got the Bronco roll up tools, took six weeks. I'd get a 'pending' charge every couple weeks. Finally showed up though.

LOL, I ordered my BAMF bumper 4/30and took about 5 months to get here. In fairness I knew it was going to be a few months but the lead time grew longer as they moved shops, etc.

Love the quality but that lead time was a killer!

On the flip side my TOR rear bumper showed up in a week or so of placing the order. Very fast delivery.

Actual charge or pending? Fingers crossed for you.

Got a pending charge on 2/1 when I placed my initial order. Got another pending today when I reordered after Ford canceled the first order.

They were quick to hit those pending charges and cancel my order but not release/reverse the initial pending charge. I’m not overly worried about it as I know they will make it right but just found it comical.

Ford finally charged my card, so maybe that’sa good sign. But still says processing.

Edit: Well, Pending charge. Can't really tell if it's just a hold or actual charge.
Absolutely no word from Ford kinda revives my not so happy ford feelings again

Pending charges and holds are basically the same thing. The transaction has been authorized by your bank, but not processed and/or collected by the merchant.

Absolutely no rush on my end. It'll ship whenever it ships...

Sure thing. Out of the complete blue, you randomly tried to pin FPPs shit service on something completely unrelated. It was so wildly out of context. You might as well muse that someone’s toilet seat is broken because they ate the wrong kind of ice cream four years and three sundays ago because it was made by someone with red hair. Because you know redheads don’t have souls.

Don't sweat it, some could purposely drive over a nail, and blame "woke" or whatever for the flat. DEI ate my homework.

Thinking of just reordering at this point. Mine has been processing for about 2 weeks now

I would wait it out. If you read upthread a bit you will see I called to check on mine and they cancelled it.

I did reorder and it was a little bit of a crap show but one of the reps I spoke to said they were back ordered until 2/20. Just speculation on my part but I would think FP would supply oldest orders first once they have stock again.

Oddly enough when I reordered, I optioned to pick up at the dealer instead of direct shipping. It said it would be at the dealer by 2/12. Not sure how to digest that. Maybe dealers get priority?

That’s only a few days away so I will post up if it actually arrives as stated.
