Default forbidden shortshifter

I know there's a thread on them talking all about them in the FAQ. However, the point of my thread is to ask if anyone made a recent purchase from forbidden motorsports, I bought a short shifter for my CD5 about a week ago and I still haven't gotten the shifter let alone a tracking number. I tried contacting the email they gave but I still haven't gotten a reply. Anyone know how I can possibly contact them?

Well,

1) He has a user name on here (4bidden)
2) It took ~2.5 weeks for me to get mine (he builds them from scratch then sends them to get powdercoated

So no, it probably hasn't shipped yet. It's only a week dude. No reason to flip out. You realize there's people that have been waiting 2 years to get a RMF header? (probably won't happen at this point but they spent MAJOR bucks as opposed to the $$ you just spent)

It's all good.

If you're that concerned shoot him a PM on here, he was a great guy and talked to me about them for a bit.

I was only worried because they didn't reply to my email, and the account here on h-t has been inactive for quite some time. But it's ok now, I'll wait.

I've been waiting over 2 1/2 months. Jeremy responded to ONE of my many emails and pms to say that he was still in business and to not file a claim against his Paypal acct.
The money was taken from the acct. and it was emptied out so I can't get a refund through Paypal. Jeremy continues not to answer my requests. I have seen on other forums that people have frequent problems getting responses. I've tried to contact him through 3 of his various websites - 4bidden, his webpage development service, another of his websites and pms through 2 forums. The one response is the only one I got and since then - nothing. Good luck.

Forbidden and PSPEC shifters are made by one person, hand welded then sent to a powdercoated to get powdercoated. It is not a Taiwanese POS shifter.

I have an "installed" pic too. It's a decent upgrade over stock.

It's a heavy shifter, I'd wager steel.
