Default Produced Daily???? Yeah Right, I was promised Jan/Feb originally.

Then It started, in another 2/3 weeks. On and on etc..
My Original Order was going to be a hood that was Carbon Fibre Finnish clear coated with intergrated grill.
Now its gone to a standard grill fitment in white Gel Coat. I was also promised I am first on the List... I get a production list emailed to me a few weeks later, I was not first...
I decided to accept the change in order of different hood and finnish just to get one.
I was recently Told it will be rady for me on the 8th June. When I emailed back to confirm pick up date, I recieved a reply "Who told you it would be ready on that date?"..
Well this got me going now, I believe i have been more than patient all this time, Then I got a email a few days ago, "More bad news, another 2-3 weeks.." Well this is the same tune I was hearing now back in Feb.
So what I am to do or believe now?
