Thanks AM!
 
Apparently they have let our discount code expire. MB really has become the red-headed step-child of AM. :mad:

Lol they hate us. You would think a company that large would at least keep up with their forums.

PColav6 04-26-2011 11:36 AM

MB stopped being associated with AM once it changed from Mustang Tuning.

They might still pay to be a sponsor, but this isn't their forums anymore. They sold the forum to some company, but they pretty much just forget about us. Nobody really runs this place anymore.

I know, but it seems like they would at least do what they could to keep us all as customers. I can say that I don't plan on purchasing anything else unless I absolutely have to until they revive our code or re-issue a new one.

Kevin, where did you get your headlights? I had a set from AM and they were terrible.

i bought mine from am and they're fine. sealed 'em and that's it. i was pretty pissed that they're going for $150 now when i got raped for $200. i think they had a sale last month and they were $140.

How old are your headlights?

i want to say novemberish. i'm assuming they're going to break down after awhile?

WNRacing 04-26-2011 08:51 PM

I had a set from AM and sealed the living shit out of them. They got rained on ONE time, ONE TIME and they condensated and the reflective chrome inside peeled and cracked off. I personally think the ones on eBay look like they are higher quality because they don't have the screwed in door thing in the back like the AM ones do.

i sealed mine like a kindergartner who just realized how to squirt out glue. i, knock on wood, haven't had any problems with condensation. i'm too much of a pansy-ass to do any dealing on ebay.

I've had my dark smoked headlights from AM for a little over a year now, and they are starting to fade, or look old I guess... not sure how to describe it? Only noticable close up.

I really don't have a big problem with AM, since I don't really buy from them anymore. Probably getting new wheels in the next year or so, but not ordering from them. Don't want stack racing wheels.

I may buy the raxiom smoked taillights from them though... are they a good AM product?

(I've never sealed my headlights, and havent had any condensation in them. Just kinda been lucky I guess)

I've been thoroughly impressed with the Raxiom tails, they look great and haven't had any problems out of them. Just wish they could do something to make a true OE style smoked headlight with clear corners.

stanger00 04-26-2011 09:31 PM

I bought clear corner headlamps from AM in 2007. Put them in the oven for 10 mins and then put some black rtv around the seams.

The only problem I have with them right now is a small part of the clear coat is flaking. Maybe the newer stuff is a little on the low quality side.

Have you guys tried to call AM and ask for the forum discount? I know its a PITA to call but that may be the only way to get the new code.

WNRacing 04-26-2011 09:42 PM

I posted on their facebook tonight, we'll see if they respond.

whitestang04 04-26-2011 09:52 PM

I emailed them several days ago and I haven't heard anything yet. My AM smoked headlights are around 2 1/2 years old and they are flaking pretty badly.

krazypony 04-27-2011 06:22 AM

I remember when they used to have some reps frequent the forum like AM-Nick and a few others... but you dont see that anymore....

3.8LMustang 04-27-2011 07:00 AM

AM.com is going downhill?

They do it for several other forums, (v6 mustangs, modded mustangs and svtp I think to name a few) but not the one that they "used to own." I really don't get it, there are a LOT of loyal customers on this forum and it was linked from their website up until a few months ago so not supporting the forum just makes no sense at all to me. :mad:

BikerSk8rKid 04-27-2011 05:26 PM

I E-Mailed them on here, no response, but doesn't bother me that much. This forum just flat out sucks now, boring and don't get that much help like you used too. I don't even come on here anymore.

They're still active on other forums though.

Do you need a code?

I have some other ones from the other forums, but I like the one for this one better. :D
I'm just not active on this forum, that's all.

Shadow_Stang 04-28-2011 09:36 PM

I only use AM for little stuff now... like the 8" antennas and license plate frames.

For anything else I check:
-ebay
-latemodelrestoration.com
-v6mustangstuff.com

I was so pumped when I saw that AM was carrying the GT rear bumper covers, back when they got them a few years ago... but then I found out that they were aftermarket and had "MUSTANG" shaved off, I was pissed. They have a TON of stuff... but nothing really usefull to me anymore.

I go where ever it's cheapest. :)

krazypony 04-29-2011 06:35 AM

yup thats the key anymore these days, its not so much who to be loyal to for business I dont think, its where you can get the most for your buck$

PColav6 04-29-2011 09:17 AM

Evan, I got mine from AM in June 2008. They have been fine, but the clear-coat on the passenger side light has just started to peel off. Florida sun ftw.

I have been loyal to AM, even if their price happened to be a little more. The free shipping usually helped to even things out a little and the 6% "could" even make it a tiny bit less expensive from time to time.

I've posted on their Facebook wall again, if I get no response from them (again) then I'll take my business to someone who can actually take care of their customers like Lethal Performance or Summit.

or even JEGS :)

probiker427 04-29-2011 07:51 PM

I only buy from them if its brand name and they have the Manufacturer number, to save on shipping. Everything else doesn't last.

do you have the new code? if so could you pm it to me, wanna put in an order soon. thanks

AMChrisRose 05-11-2011 09:31 AM

Hey guys,

Sorry that I did not catch this sooner. I was away last week. I wanted to respond 2 Fridays ago, but my account was awaiting activation for a few days and by that time I was out of the country.

The discount code was deleted because it leaked out. It was picked up by coupon feeds and it was being abused. A simple google search will show you a few places it landed: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=mustangboards2454

There is a new code, and if you PM me, I will reply back with in within 48 hours.
