moodyskydiver 0 #1 February 1, 2003 Yep thats right.I finally have my brand new pretty Mirage in my possession.It fits perfect and looks great.The only problem is that they did part of the coloring wrong.My reserve flap was supposed to have been blue/black..they made it all black. It still looks sharp though.I dont know if I should send it back and have them fix it as I ordered it or just leave it alone and keep it as is.Everyone whos seen it thinks I should keep it as is...I'm gonna sit and drool over it awhile before I make up my mind. I also got my Cypres today as well and was told that my new reserve will be here next week.I'll post pics soon. And dont worry..the beer has already been bought,delivered and finished off tonight at the DZ..ugh..not feeling good now. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

SkySlut 0 #13 February 1, 2003 I know how you feel...dont you wish that it was all put together so you could get more of a complete picture and more importantly....jump the thing!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyD 0 #14 February 1, 2003 How about a pic of the rig as you received it and as you ordered it? No doubt sending it back would suck, but that's a lot of moolah to pay for something you didn't order. Maybe its NBD. Pic would help.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #15 February 1, 2003 Yep.Wore it around the house and got funny looks from my parents.(no Wingnut I did not wear it nekkid!) It stayed nice and snuggled up in its cute little box not 3 feet from my bed last night.Woulda slept w/it but too afraid the damn cat would messed w/it while I slept.Then I woulda had to make her into a rug.But its so purdy! The more I look at it the more I like it and it grows on me.I think I'll prob keep it as is.I'll post pics soon.(dont have a camera right now.) "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

moodyskydiver 0 #16 February 1, 2003 Ok,since I dont have a camera on hand right now I went to the Mirage site and did a coloring pic. Heres an example of what I ordered and what I received. Its just a slight difference, but I think its starting to grow on me. Might just keep it. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
