ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[Dimitar]

Just here to pile on the ADV dumpster fire. I’m assuming they spent all the preorder money and are not even offering credit to buyers?

Sadly so many off-road companies do the preorder BS now, which I can only assume is a scheme to get an interest free loan for as long as they like. Waited months for @GregFoutz tie rods, in the 5th week for @RCI Offroad steps. @Armadillo Designs offers no return, no warranty and they want money up front. This has to stop, and it starts with us saying NO to preorders.

Since I’m calling these guys out I’ll say @Metalcloak has been the best so far in communicating, customer service and timely shipment.

So it has been a while since I checked on ADV. Anyone care to give me the cliffs notes on where we currently are? I see something about APG and it looks like they are no longer processing refunds.

just from advanced.... they screwed us all!

"
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."

Holy FFFFF!!! I was skeptical of this all along but wow this is bad.

ADV has used the rubber all along- just not what people thought the rubber was for though,

So I constantly see a sponsored post from ADV with this meme saying “you said you had a ram air hood!” Well yesterday I redid the meme as you see below and posted it as a a comment on their ad. Instantly blocked lol.

Being that my wife is Canadian, I know that after he sues and gets the ADV guy arrested, he’ll tell him “sorry”! It’s the Canadian way!
