PGT Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I only ordered a shift knob from Cheam. I was trying to organize a group buy as well, but Cheam stopped responding to my emails after encouraging me to do so and drum up some biz for them. :confused: If you order from them, bring two things: $$ for shipping and patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy_y_tu Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey Edvig; I checked out Cheams' website and just wanted to confirm with you a part number. I'm ordering the rain visors and it appears the number is [url="http://www.cheammotors.co.uk/products.php?productId=305"][u][color=#606420]E3610AG010[/color][/u][/url] Is that the part number you ordered? I'm pretty sure that's it but I'd hate to have to ship it back across the Atlantic if it's the wrong one:lol: . Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edvig Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 legacy_y_tu: Yes, the rain guard part is E3610AG010. I had a good experience with Cheam...aside from the shipping costs. Who knows what makes them flake out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I ordered the visors through Paul @ AVO - I got the JDM ones. They are more $$, but supposedly a little nicer quality. Not having the EDm and JDM ones side by side, I couldn't tell you if there is really a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Sorry, I don't. I suspect they are exactly the same....maybe the type of plastic is different. Hard to show that in a pic. I was placing an order from AVO, so it made sense to have them throw the visors in vs. ordering separately from Cheam, even though they were $50 more than EDM. It probably cost me the same as the EDM ones shipped, but I got one some have claimed are the better set. Who knows? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy_y_tu Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 One more quick question. Is the plastic semi-transparent (tinted) or is it solid black (not transparent) ? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 solid black from a few feet away. Slightly transparent with bright sun if you look at them from inside the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacy_y_tu Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'll give Cheams a try through e-mail and if they don't respond then I reckon' I'll give 'em a ring. I think I read here somewhere that their Subaru parts guy was out so maybe their poor response was an isolated incident. I just ran the price through a currency converter and it appears these visors run around 145 USD not including shipping! UUmm... is that right :(? That seems kinda high for 2 pieces of thermoformed plastic. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Jim is the guy who I was chatting with about setting up a GB. He wants to drum up business here in the US, but he never did respond back when I asked him for quantity pricing. WTF? I got my visors from AVO....the JDM ones costs $200.

PGT Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I am not wasting the effort to set up a GB if he won't even respond to my email. That's not a way to do business. I was trying to do it for the WR/Solberg edition shift knob. They cost $60 or so vs. the $150 SubyDude and KOI was charging. And that's before the GB price.

BTW, email is notoriously unreliable and I know from personal experience that when you get dozens of emails a day it is very easy for one to slip by unaswered. So I wouldn't judge them based on one unreplied email. Now if that happens repeatedly, then we may have a problem.
