I just received my 45 grip panels after waiting 3 months(unlike the other style grips, it said they were available now) and unfortunately I have to agree. The finish quality is very poor, especially for a hand made 'custom' piece. They look homemade, there is pitting everywhere and lots of sanding marks. Not something I would be proud to show off. Initially I wondered if my expectations were too high but seeing going_home's post I realized that, no they are not.

I was going to refinish them myself but when I put them on my Y-frame, I found that the grips do not cover all the holes and the panels look crooked. So these panels are going in a cardboard box along with all the other paintball parts I have.

I sent an email to Roger and recieved a reply to the effect that he is working with some
new fiber and will replace the grips to my satisfaction.
Mine are also pitted with sanding scratches but Roger said he would replace them
so I will hold any further judgement until I see the next set.
I also have pics but I its only fair to give him a chance to fix it.
PM me if you need an email address, my suggestion is email him your complaint
and give him a chance to fix it.

You exposed your reputation while trying to "carefully" promote your friends ebay auctions. "Wow look what I just found on ebay!" . Remember? And what is wrong with my feedback? 1 drank cant send item back and its my fault?

I just pointed out how hypocritical Rudz is by posting BS about me being banned and being bad and than getting banned himself.

You might be older than I am. But in your case older doesnt mean smarter.

Dude, you just get back and start right back in. What is your problem? When you weren't here you were trying to instigate arguments over at PBN. Chill out.

**ABTOCMEPTb** · 06-13-2006, 08:25 AM

And what is bad about arguments? As long as its civil - dont see why not. Definately not against forum rules.

All I hear from you:

whaaaaaaa

I guess no one here has any real expierence with CF or anything thats fiber + resin and the big assumption by everyone here is that they will be totally perfect. Fact of the matter is whether it be CF or fiberglass etc things will never be perfect. The end user is responcible for the final fit and finish. If anyone dosn't believe me go ahead and check buy glass or CF parts for your car see how well they fit. Technology has come so far yet repro steel quarter panel or a steel hood based on factory blueprints still won't fit like original or NOS equipment. If you have a problem with something contact the manufacturer.

You know what is funny? Lets put aside the fact that it is unknown when you are gonna get your grips.

But it seems that the only perfect grips were sold to Rudz. Basicaly he was creator of this topic and he posted pictures of his I would say PERFECTLY made grips. That hooked up all other people and money start flowing. But it seems that perfectly made grips were made for show purpose only.

Even those who bashing me here they did received poorly made grips. And its not single case.

The only issues I had with the 2 pairs that I ordered were I needed to widen the hole for the screws for the custom BKO Z-grips that they made for me, but wasn't wholely unexpected as they use fatter screws than normal.

otherwise both pairs are phenominal.

You need to chill

My panels, stock 45 version, were pretty good. Were they perfect? No, but for the price on a first run job I don't expect them to be. The finish on mine were good and the look was good. Be patient and you'll get them. It took me about 6 weeks after paying, give or take a week, to get mine, but they delivered. I've emailed them several times since and they have responded every time.

I am glad you like yours.

I was waiting for mine for 60+ days. After that I contacted them just to receive "email account doesnt exist" message.

I already canceled my order. And please dont think I did so because I was scared for my last $19.

Here's a few pictures of mine. I think that they look great, and may get some in black as well.

I'm not worried over your last $19. You should be, but I'm not. Cougar River did reply within this thread and provide a new email address. I do understand your concern when mail is suddenly bounced back, but they have been on since.

By the way, didn't you mention you you've cancelled your order. Have they refunded you? I would assume they haven't, because you are still over here clogging up someone elses thread with posts that don't matter a whole lot. You've stated your case against Cougar River, now move along to another thread to whore. Posters will know how to get in touch with you if they need your opinion. Best of luck to you and your resentment in your future endeavors.

Oh, and I havent ever been banned either.

Yep I got my Emag grips today after two months.
I hate to dis anyones stuff but I will never use them.
They are terrible looking. The quality is very poor,
and I wouldnt do that to my Emag.
I cannot reccomend them to anyone.
They are that bad. I am very disappointed.

Ok heres some closeup pics of the Emag CF grips I recieved.
Maybe I am being to critical.
Look at the pics and tell me if its just me and post your thoughts.
Tell me if you would put them on your new Emag.
Thanks
