Sorry to bring up a dead thread guys and gals, but thought I'd let you in on an idea that I had.
I wanted to use EL wire because I thought it'd give a more finished look though it does require a bit more tech skills. When I went to the EL Wire online store, I noticed that they had a new product called EL Wire 'Tail Wire',
http://elwireonline.com/ez_mount_tail_el_wire_. Naturally, because this 'tail' lends itself to being able to be tucked into crevices such as our doors and dash, I thought I'd give it a try since it avoids us having to sand the dash.
Anyway, so I get to ordering it... TWICE!! The first time it came in the mail, it was normal EL wire, no tail. I called and the teenager just chuckled and said send it back via ground using our UPS account. It was REJECTED for some reason and sent back to me with a UPS bill. The second time, I said specifically, TAIL WIRE on the order form and paypal form; what do I get??? Exactly, normal EL wire again!!
So frustrated with this company right now. I want to return this stuff that I purchased for $100 but they charge a 25% restock fee!
Moral of this story? DO NOT BUY FROM THESE STUPID CANADIAN KIDS!! My apologies. I had such anticipation for the tail wire that I wanted to vent and to let this forum know that this vendor does not deserve our hard earned american dollars.
