ICEMANN,
Those were EXCELLENT!!! I can't wait to get my NWS Hugger now. Whytlotus, I placed my order in December as well, and I darn near came close to cancelling the order too, but now, I'll just sit tight and wait.
For all you out there thinking of getting an NWS, they don't really sell direct to North America (well, they do, but the cost of shipping just one wouldn't make it worthwhile). I've been waiting for mine for awhile, but apparently the company got bought out by Pyramid Plastics and there was a HUGE back-order due to this and an apparent world-wide shortage of affordable carbon-fiber. I spoke directly to the customer service people at NWS, and they were very curteous and apologetic. These huggers are made to order, and i was told that mine had just been made last week and is waiting to go out with a bactch for shipping to north america sometime this week....
...can't wait! this is the LONGEST i've ever waited for a part.
They come in fiberglass too. I don't know what the turn around time is liike for them.
I paid $324 (Canadian dollars) for mine -- carbon fiber.
Thanks again, Icemann. That was a FANTASTIC write-up.
