I hope you know I have nothing to do with Bluegroove! If that's what you meant? :|

Digging up an old thread. Has anyone tried one of these copies? Wondering if I should go with one of these or stay on the search for an original.

I have both and the copies lost half the detail in the process. Copies also bulge out on the sides compared to the original.

I though the sides looked weird. But that's about the answer I was expecting.
Thanks, Todd

You know, since they are just semi-poor copies you would think he wouldn't have the nerve to charge 40 freaking dollars for one. :roll:

Yeah that's what I was thinking. If it was a very good copy IDE pay that but I don't want to if it's not that great. I just got my messed up bodies back. Just need to find some replacements.

Hey Todd,
you might wanna think about stripping those bodies you have and starting fresh. I had picked up a gt off ebay and it had a new TBG body included with it. Holding it next to an original was night and day difference...

I just scored me some original bodies to start over with. The TBG was going to be last resort. Which is funny because that's what the painter wanted to replace the messed up one with.

Guys that bought a TBG body that you aren't happy with in anyway please contact TBG directly.

He will fix the problem im sure. This happened to me with a LXT body shell . He fixed it right away and sent a new shell.

His e mail address is [email protected]

because they are easy enuf to get. Did you ever 'out' this guy with a name and address or area of country so no one else gets any high hope expectations on boxart bodies?
