Hello all! First I’d like to thank Jay the Admin for allowing us to be official vendors and sponsors of this forum. I’d also like to thank you Jay for giving us the benefit of the doubt and the chance to show you all what we're about, even after the side show that unfolded on the 9th of last week on these forums. This is our official response with reference to the link at the bottom of this post.
Over the years I've had many reliability issues for a number of reasons. For the better half of my career I've always wanted to have a foot in everything. The largest issue I had before was that I'd often bite off more than I could chew in order to not miss an opportunity. Other issues were putting trust in the wrong employees, and partnering up with the wrong people. After I hired my first real group of employees last year, I learned the value of turning down certain work, certain people, and focusing on a few key products. One of them being the Carbon Guards.
Our Carbon Guards are the largest part of our company and I specifically employ several employees just for that. This winter the goal is to develop and launch a whole line of composite parts for the Rivian models under a new brand called ORC (Off Road Composites). This is going to be our EV 4x4 brand.
My goal right now is to offer one product to the Rivian community and that is our Carbon Guards. These were designed and manufactured in house here in Chicago on two local member's Rivian models (R1T and R1S). Production is limited currently because we also produce Carbon Guards for almost 400 other vehicles. We're also working to fulfill other current orders as well. We'll be capping our production to 6 sets a week for the R1S and R1T models. As we hire more employees (currently we have ads out to hire x4 employees) our production numbers will increase.
The purpose of this post is to not only let forum members know that we’re aware of the concerns, but to finally put an end to it by way of providing a positive experience with every single order
Manufactured since 2015 in Chicago. Tested and abused world wide for almost 8 years.
I appreciate you all who have read this, I know it’s a strange way to start, but I’m looking forward to growing our brands here with all of you!

For what its worth.. In response to this thread directly. OP claims on the 9th of November that he is still working with his bank to get funds returned. Here’s our side of it.
On the 12th of August Customer placed order, Customer Chargeback came through only 3 weeks later on the 2nd of September, funds were drafted to give back to Customer on the 5th of September, chargeback officially closed in Customer's favor on 21st of October with no contest from us during any point of the Chargeback. Why Customer spends so much time traveling the WWW to claim that he's still fighting the Chargeback is beyond me, and I don't care.
I won’t discuss the matters further, we’re here for a different reason .
