    Yes, I checked this site and also called and left a message, but no specific information. Anyone from IL try to receive the rebate?

    [FONT=&quot]Here is some information I received aftertalking with Darwin Burkhart.[/FONT]​

    [FONT=&quot]Contact: DarwinBurkhart[/FONT]​

    [FONT=&quot]Phone: (217) 524-5008[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Fax: (217) 557-2559[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]1. This is the person to speak with to give definite answers as of 5-16-12[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]2. Problem #1: IL only awards up to 1 million dollars per year. They alreadyhave $750,000 in application requests, they are likely to run out of fundsbefore we apply.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]3. Problem #2: rebate checks are very slow in arriving to customers.[/FONT]
    4. Problem #3: vehicles must be purchased in IL. PIP are not yet available for sale plus Darwin said they will not qualify.​

    5. Problem #4: conversion kits must be purchased and installed in IL. Plus they must be installed by an approved business.
