Same here, I'd order in a heartbeat at shipping closer to $100-125. Hope you can get something worked out stateside since these really do look perfect.

Found another brand that's based in the UK that will ship to the US for $150 if anyone's interested.

They just use the same Alibaba lip that's re-branded and drop-shipped like a lot of these companies. Buy at your own risk.

I spoke to Sam @ AutoID today and he indicated the current ship date is early July. It seems like every month we have to wait another month.

Quote:
Our estimated ship date is the start of July.
Currently, production is now in the later stages, final box designs are being drawn up and measurements are being carried out.

There will be an update from us within the next week giving further details on shipping dates.
If you need any more information, be sure to let me know and I'll be happy to advise.

Best regards,
Sam

It's kind of annoying to have to ping jack every time now when he keeps making false promises.

This combined with ever rising excessive shipping costs...guess I'm out permanently. Going to look elsewhere for a lip now.

I ended up buying the edison lip, cause I didn't want to wait anymore. I wanted to have a lip installed by March. It arrived quickly, but also slightly damaged. Packing was fine, so didn't occur during transit. And I was reimbursed to get it repaired. Now just waiting for an opening to get the repair done, then 10 days for it to dry before I can put on Xpel, then will get it installed. So probably the end of the month I can install it. But at least I have a lip now.

I hate to do this, but I'm honestly extremely disappointed that this lip has had so many delays and we keep being given promises by AUTOID of dates that come and go. The problem is, this is the only Comp-style OG lip in town and all of the others seem to be Sabon Carbon knockoffs or resells. I want to continue supporting Jack and AutoID, but my patience is wearing thin. Granted, COVID hit and all but to be pushed back to July? Jack mentioned starting it almost a year ago! This is ridiculous.

5/31/2019 I started this thread looking for a Comp style lip for the OG
6/30/2019 Jack@AUTOID asked if we would be interested if they can create it
7/05/2019 Jack@AUTOID said he would update us as they progress
11/19/2019 Jack@AUTOID , "If everyone is still keen, we're looking to have the mould and samples finished before Christmas. Deliveries to customers Jan 2020"
12/19/2019 Jack@AUTOID , "First sample is scheduled for end of this month. First deliveries Jan 2020."
1/05/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "Please accept my apologies for the delay but we have finished our design and are now producing the first sample. Please note that this is a rough sample and will be used to confirm fitment - the final product will be a TRE level of quality."
1/31/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "Hey everyone. Sorry for the radio silence. Just to keep you in the loop. This is still happening! Our delivery date has been pushed back to 3rd week of March though"
3/12/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "Guys, we're pleased to share some great news. Following months of development and testing, the lip now available for pre-order! Deliveries begin April 2020."
3/12/2020 *new design has completely wrong winglets from previous examples
3/26/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "Here you go guys. Latest sample finished and fitted. Couple of revisions still needed but we'll get to work on those. Still aiming for the April deadline despite COVID"
4/01/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "COVID and this have pushed deliveries back ever so slightly, but only a 10 days or so"
4/15/2020 Jack@AUTOID , "We now anticipate first lips will arrive in the US May 18th."
5/20/2020 Jack@AUTOID ,"We’re at the final hurdle now, so I’d like to take a moment to say a massive thank you for supporting AUTOID. We’re very grateful for your trust in us in coming through on this project.

This is a bit frustrating and wish we would of gotten an update. Thanks nothingman for the update. Guess we'll see what happens come July

Guys, goes without saying that this project has seen set backs.

When we received the initial feedback on the winglets we took a second look at the lip and essentially redesigned it from the ground up. The first photos look great but the lip was a little too bulky in areas and we needed to add additional areas for fixtures to ensure the best possible fit.

As a result a simple amendment to our mould wouldn't do, it needed to be rebuilt.

Some images below highlight the changes. New on the left (skinnier), old on the right (wider).





I whilst I appreciate delays are unwelcome, I do not regret us taking time to ensure this product is correct. I would hate to deliver a product we're not 100% happy with.

I'm sorry that our comms have not always been the clearest or consistent.

Jack@AUTOID is the new lip in these photos the finished product? If so, do you have any photos of it mounted? Are you now in production and do you expect to be able to ship by early July?

Yes, that's the finished product.

We have loads of photos mounted, but I'm not wanting to share all of them publicly yet as we'll be doing a proper launch for the lip with video and photo content.

Early July is when all remaining pre-orders will be fulfilled and we'll have excess stock on the shelves.

I've shared 2 more photos below for now. The splitter was not fully affixed in these photos due to pre-testing before our shoot, but you get the idea.

I know but for some reason none of them do it for me. If there was one just like this without winglets that sat flush at the edges it would be perfect for me
