Guys,

Not exactly sure whether i was supposed to post this here or in the other forum. Are the following being sold somewhere for the MPC Ren?

1. Black Faceplate
2. Fat black pads
3. Black housing unit for the display screen (current one is white)

Id like to begin personalizing my machine when it gets here and I can find plenty of gear for other MPCs, just not what I asked for above for the Ren.

Thx

I found the faceplate, but couldn't find the other stuff. From a person who runs a store himself that site could use layered navigation to make finding stuff easier, but thanks for the help.

Thanks for all these links guys. I guess one of these days i'll show you all my store so you can see an example of the "industry standard" in my line of work. In my experience you have to make things extremely easy to find (and purchase) otherwise customers will go elsewhere. I guess in a niche like this where there isnt much competition there's a little more room for flexibility.

With that being said im debating on ordering all of the parts myself, or just spending the cash to just have them build it to my specs (I know EXACTLY what I want my machine to look like).

not sure how why it was so hard for you. everything is on one page. doesn't get much easier. all the Ren things are on one page all 2000xl parts on one page. if its not on that page its not available. for instance the black screen housing.
since you mentioned your store you might as well show us how its suppose to look.

I love MPC Stuff but I'm not crazy about the website layout either. Thought it was just me :hmmm:

the guys down there take good care of use though. bought a new pad sensor kit for one of my old 2000's i wanted to sell. when i received it. i accedently tore it taking it out of package. it was a fragile. the issue was it was stuck to the creese in package. kinda jammed in there. stuck so when i pulled it ripped. i thought i was screwed. contacted him he just wanted a flick of it and replaced it that day. no extra charge.

love the fat pads too. want some for my Ren

Yes I heard that their customer service was great. I'll be ordering some Fat pads for my Ren very soon. :smoker:
