This company is a scam. There is no excuse for ZERO communication, none. It’s incredible to see some folks build a narrative to justify what could be a simple email update.

The dude is actively posting on other forums like Ferrarichat but can’t update his customers?
It's definitely a mismanaged company, but I wouldn't call it a scam, or at least it wasn't once upon a time.

At least for me, I ordered a product and I got a product, and I got the quality of product I expected.

To call the company a scam is over the top. I am not justifying anything. All I know is that companies, many, are hurting due to the economy and lack in enough personnel to effectively run their businesses. Every company around here, even with jobs starting out at $70K...cannot get help. We have received no mail for 3 days. Why? Due to lack of personnel to deliver it (verified).
All I can say about this company; they make fantastic custom products and they have treated me right. When they came out with pre-sales, I did them and I knew it would be a while to receive them. After waiting two years for my Bronco....waiting in line everywhere I go due to lack of help...all I can end with....our workforce, our society...is in bad shape.

I ordered GT4 height wing risers from them about a year ago and it took several weeks. Feel fortunate that I got them.

The quality on the fender badges is nothing special. Mine faded out badly in less than a year. It's interesting to me that he is launching new products, taking new orders and showing off all his expensive new toys on social media when he doesn't have the time of day for anyone whose money he already has.

When did you order your item, and when did you receive your item? ADV sells fiberglass fenders but took about 8M in orders without delivering a single hardtop.

Dude hasn’t responded to a single request since June, it’s 100% scam at this point.

I completely disagree. The owner of this company has time to post on every other media platform about his pet projects but can’t respond to his customers? Clearly the owner doesn’t want to spend the coin on customer support, and that’s entirely on him.

Yes, I’m sure he makes great products, but has anyone on this forum received an update since June? Like I said with ADV, get out now while you can.

Ordered 10th July, 2023, received 19th October, 2023.

Like I said, AR wasn't always a scam, but yes it sure seems like it is now.

Wow this sucks! I have ordered stuff from them in the past, and haven't had an issue. Everything I ordered showed up eventually. Been over a year since I ordered anything from them. Looks like they went dark around late July? Responses to BBB complaints end then as well. Curtis must have took the money and run? Just sux all around...dude WAS legit, and now I guess he's not?
