Don't buy Eleanor from Blue Oval

bluecar said:

Boy the stock grille was a major bi+ch to take out. I tried installing the eleanor I bought from Blue Oval on eBay. A couple screw holes cracked from putting on the original screws (no I did not overtighten). Also, the tabs did not match up. Also, the plastic was brittle and the 3 tabs broke and the left part of the grill just cracked off. Im asking to send it back with a refund.

I just ordered a carbon fiber from Auto Accessory 4U and it is a supposedly Ford Licensed Produce made of the same material.

Comments? Wish me luck. Right now, I am driving without a grille because I am not putting the stock one back on only to have a terrible time of taking it off again.

Glad I'm not the only one that's came across (Blue Oval Industries) I seriously could not believe the way this dude was acting on the phone.....like a little bitch. If he was local to me I would have had no problem hanging up the phone, walking straight up to him and punching him right in the face!

In any event I seriously hope the situation gets remedied one way or another and I'm glad people are aware of a company to stay away from.

First off ! we have every right to post negative feedback, towards a company/vendor who not only provides very poor customer service ! but also conducts themselves in a very unprofessional, and disrespectful manner, towards their customers..Therefore before you come into this forum, and criticize you're fellow members of company bashing ? take the time to read over each post, and understand the circumstances/reasons, which were responsible for the bashing in the first place ! And second, being that you're a moderator ? you should be more concerned over refusing to tolerate certain companies, from conducting themselves in such unprofessional manners to begin with, rather than criticize you're fellow forum members, for bashing them ! That being said, if the company in question, is one of our authorized sponsors ? then I highly recommend their immediate removal..

Wow, talk about over reacting.

First, there's no need to yell, I came in and politely asked everyone not to blatently bash the company and its owner. I do agree 100% that if a company produces and sells poor quality products, we should be made aware. There's a simple thing called being tactful however, and I see you haven't mastered that as of yet. I do however, refuse to tolerate certain companies from conducting business in a negative manner; I simply do not do business with them. If companies want to produce and sell poor quality products and mistreat their customer base, they'll find that they soon have no customers.

I'm not a customer of theirs, nor do I have any affiliation with them, but either way, it's not in my best interests, or the best interests of StangNet to bash them. That does not mean I'm going to sit back and allow the members to do so either. I'm a representitive of this site and its administration, so my comments and actions, as well as yours reflect on the site and community as a whole. What more is there to understand about that?

In case you really are curious, they're not a sponsor, but that doesn't mean they may or may not have an interest in sponsoring the site at some point down the road. Let me ask you this though: If you were a company and someone was bashing you clear as day, would you want to be a sponsor? I don't even need your response, I already know the answer to my own question. If they do decide to sponsor StangNet, I'll welcome them to the site with open arms, just as I would any other sponsor. Who do you think pays for this site to exist, so you, me, and everyone else can post here? Sponsors.

Listen, I'm simply here saying act like an adult, which I'm certain you are, and be more constructive with your comments, and not act like a spoiled 3 year old who was just told no for the first time. I'm not here to criticize anyone, that's not my purpose in life. If it was, I could go back and give you infractions for every time you bashed them, bypassed the language filter, or when you just took the opportunity to confront a staff member in the open forum, which by the way would give you enough infraction points for a 30 day vacation away from StangNet, courtesy of yours truly. Luckily for you, I'm not in a banning mood, otherwise, I'd show you the door and check back in 30 days to see if you can follow the StangNet Terms of Service yet. Right now, I would encourage you to take this opportunity read over and refamiliarize yourself with them though, because the attitude you display in this thread can only lead in one direction, it just might not be today.

I did take the opportunity to read this entire thread before I posted my first comment in it, I just re-read the entire thread to ensure I didn't miss anything, and I stand by my first comment, as well as the points I just made now. Blatently bashing vendors, whether site sponsors or not, can not and will not be tolerated on StangNet. Let me repeat that one more time, just to make sure you have it down. Blatently bashing vendors, whether site sponsors or not, can not and will not be tolerated on StangNet. If you wish to continue your bashing, do it constructively, or find somewhere else to do it, period. If you want to debate with me some more over how to be a moderator, do yourself a favor and send me a PM to do it, so the rest of the community doesn't have to deal with it.
