Nope, I'm with you that looks sloppy.

N8_94SI · 10-02-2003, 05:17 PM

damn that wouldn't match my hood at all

willmbrk · 10-02-2003, 06:06 PM

Looks wavy to me, too

red92si · 10-02-2003, 06:20 PM

looks wavy and uneven to me as well.

vile10 · 10-02-2003, 06:25 PM

glad that i am not the only one who sees it that way, i don't wanna sound *****y about it, but the clear coat is just....

prelude styl · 10-02-2003, 06:30 PM

that's what I thought too D. The CF itself seems good, but the resin/clear coat looks like it needs attention.

I'll take a pair... $25 shipped?

65.

Still waiting for mine before I can make a judgement.

willmbrk · 10-02-2003, 07:26 PM

To be honest, is anyone gonna even notice when they are on the car. I am just playing devil's advocate so don't hate me. I do agree that for $65, you should get some good quality out of them.

ExodusFX · 10-02-2003, 07:51 PM

Jesus wtf. I want mine already, but they'd better look better than that. No offense.

vile10 · 10-02-2003, 07:51 PM

i'll keep them just because i already waited over 5 months for this pair and i don't wanna wait another 5 months for replacement, just like willmbrk said, no one's going to bend on their knees and check them out closely, but for $65....oh well

94LOOD · 10-02-2003, 08:12 PM

yea......glad i stuck with my stockies, you really dont see them that much as it is anyways....but it is hella bling bling, just looks kinda funky close up

Satan_SRV · 10-02-2003, 11:53 PM

hmmm well you could have messaged me first..anyways that was one of the first sets and no they don't all look like that. 'Somebody' was demanding shipment and they were shipped. Vile10 could have messaged me about this and I'm sure I would have taken care of it. That set required X layers of clearcoat to deal with some silicone contamination. I did not want to send them.

vile10 · 10-03-2003, 12:11 AM

Joel, nothing personal, i am not trying flame here, but if i am the seller, i won't even shipped them in the first place, are you trying to tell me that you didn't check before you shipped the item out???

i don't know your definition of rushing, but 6 months of waiting sound more than long enough to me, date after date that you mentioned in the e-mail and nothing happened, when i finally decided not to wait anymore and requested for refund, you asked me to wait, i still patiently waited, your next e-mail said item's shipped, i said ok, i'll take them since they're shipped to avoid hassle

now you're blaming on "someone who demanded the trims to be shipped"?

Satan_SRV · 10-03-2003, 12:18 AM

To be honest you have no idea what i've gone through. See if you can learn to become a Carbon Fibre fabricator while holding a very busy job and you've just been promoted to senior consultant at 24, and add about a 1000 other little bs things that get in your way, because somebody screwed you over and didn't make the parts they said they would.

I've been trying as hard as I can. Seriously I want you to mail them back to me, and I'll pay you $70.

ps. everybody else I just did a set today with the new release..I won't have any of these issues. New pics will vindicate me.

edit: Hey check fitment while you're at it.

j_t_heilbrun · 10-03-2003, 08:30 AM

I don't know about the rest of you but the biggest reason I wanted these made, was because I didn't have any fog trim in the first place. (just fogs no trim). The CF was just an added bonus, and I would like to thank him for undertaking a small production project. It required lots of time and effort to get these just right. So for me I'm just glad to have them in the first place. I even bought 2 sets just to get them made.

So, Thanks Joel

Satan_SRV · 10-03-2003, 09:06 AM

Thanks, just so you guys know I it's a fog trim bonanza weekend lol I laid one up at 9pm last night, I'm going to do another at lunch, and then another set at 9 tonight, and then anothe rin the morning, then I have a wedding and I'll do 2-3 more on sunday.

I will own this fog trim mold this weekend haha
