I can provide some information. My experience with tom21 was awful. It took over a month after he received payment from me to get a nose piece. Said he was "too busy". When I finally got it, it was crunch time and it needed to get to paint pretty much that same weekend. I began to sand down the gelcoat in preparation for the primer and all there was were about a million pin holes. And I don't mean pin holes, I mean freaking gouges from air pockets underneath the gelcoat he laid. The part was absolutely brutal, no quality assurance what-so-ever. Needless to say, the nosepiece never made it to paint that season and I had to ride around with the ugly ass nose the whole year. When it was finally "fixed" I'm no body work professional and it is a $125 part after all, so I did the best I could. It looks decent, just don't look too close... There are still remnants of air pockets all over the place. I explained all this to Tom and said he would get me a new one right away. Still waiting on that after 2 years. I mean cmon, I knew that replacement nose piece was never coming but yeah, communication stopped.. Whatever, F em.
In short, if you're low on cash, you can give tom21 a try but just don't sand the gelcoat.. At all. or you will have an ugly mess on your hands. Just remember that you did in fact cheap out on this part as you can ring Blowsions number and they will run you about $250 I think for a nose piece but at least it wont be complete junk. My $0.02. Tom21 used to be like a god around here everyone praising his services so I kind of never spoke up about this, but his name seemed to have faded over the last couple years.
