Remind me how exactly are they affiliated here?

Joke based on Lite Brite's most recent videos sporting the "APG" hard top and promising to reveal more than the girl's skin.

are we still talking about bronco tops?

Oh yeah, sure. Sure we are...

Wow. So the shoe has dropped more like an Anvil. ADV has decided to drag everyone down with them. Now all involved are in a full-on he said she said battle with somewhere a truth is told.

Meanwhile, people who spent their money is now left with their CC companies trying to figure to take a loss or get the money. This is now a full-on gaat rope, or more a Sh*** Show.

My thought in this is if APG was involved from the beginning, how was it that ADV was able to do refunds? Did the well run dry as many on B6g stated?

Wow Wow Wow.

And not everyone paid with credit card. I was forced to pay via wire transfer due to some issue on their end. I can't imagine how screwed I would have been in this situation.

Ultimately I know that decision lies with me, but I did have confidence at that point and really wanted a hard top. Lesson learned here I suppose.

Well honestly they did get a top with most of the features, so they sort of made out. Aftermarket headliners can be purchased if they were missing it like the top from TC Customs

I was trying to decide on a body kit for next year. Either ADV or APG. Wow. Now at a loss on who to trust.

I feel bad for those who were still holding out.

I was a first few minutes order holder, like many others, and back in April I finally requested a refund and received it within 24 hours. I listened to those who had bailed out before me and did my own information searching and came to the conclusion that I was dealing with weasels. I cannot add anymore to what others have already said about their business practices and bullshit. I will however, point out that some of their yes boys in the social influencer realm should take a honest look in the mirror. Useless pustules, all of them!

well that was an unexpected ending....

I just received this from Advanced Fiberglass:

ADV Fiberglass Hard Top

I am reaching out with an update on your Bronco Hardtop orders.

First, I wanted to genuinely thank you all for your patience and understanding as we have navigated delays and revisions that pushed the availability of this product further out than we ever expected, and I know how frustrating that has been, for you, and for us, as we have been eager to get your order to you.

Unfortunately, ADV Fiberglass has come to realize that our business was targeted and has fallen victim to a business manufacturing and production operation carried out by Automotive Performance Group, APG, in Garden Grove, CA, our business associate on this project. APG has been misleading us and engaging in deceptive, illegal, and unethical business practices – effectively feeding us inaccurate timelines, breaking promises, continuously requesting more money, and even going as far as filing a patent (solely in his name) for a product we, collectively designed and paid for under their own name. After finally discovering the truth, we realized that this was not the honest partner we thought we were working with.

Without any other avenues to pursue, and in an effort to seek justice for you and our company, we are currently in the process of pursuing legal action.

I am sorry to tell you that due to this, the hardtops ordered will not be delivered, and we have removed them as a product offering on our site.

I want to assure you that all the money that you paid toward this product to Advanced Fiberglass Concepts went exactly where we said it would, to the manufacturing and creation of this hardtop. Unfortunately, we trusted the wrong person and we are so sorry for this regrettable mistake. At ADV, we never take your business for granted and it’s devastating that ADV has fallen victim to an operation of this size.

Since learning of APG’s deception, we have also exhausted every possible option to try and manufacture in-house and deliver this product to you without APG’s involvement. However, right now, there is no avenue for us to take to fulfill these orders due to the pending patent that APG filed behind our back, without our business name included, that covered the bolt-together, slant back design. The patent, unfortunately, prohibits us from manufacturing our own design at our ADV facilities.

We are so sorry that this has happened, and we are extremely disappointed that we were not able to deliver on this for you.

If you purchased a hardtop, you may try to contact your credit card company to see if they are able to assist. Unfortunately, Advanced Fiberglass Concepts is unable to directly assist.

Again, we are so sorry that this has happened, and we will be working tirelessly on our end to pursue justice against this individual and APG. We have attached a copy of the legal complaint to show how seriously we are taking this.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please reach out to – [email protected]

Please find a copy of the legal complaint against APG for your reference (Link For Document).
