Good point, but I had gloss black, and gunmetal, now want to try carbon fiber, if for anything to be different

But your right, if I can't get it to work, then maybe its not worth it.

Good luck!
Will do, and thats exactly my point, I think if I can get one with a good fit/finish and people see it would be a good seller.

I love the carbon fiber thing tohugh thats why I wanted it also, I have the RK Sport Carbon Fiber grill, doorsills, front nose badge, and rear fill ins.

Ya the pictures aren't the best b/c I was having to rush to turn the camera on, turn off the flash so I battery didn't die right away and snap some pics with it off so it was so stable.

Had my eye on that piece too. In fact talked to the guy and he seemed nice. They are located about 25 miles from me and he offered to me at wholesale and I could come pick it up. I do know for a fact that they do NOT do the fabrication there on premises. It is done overseas, so they may not have even inspected the piece before shipping. It could be something where it's shipped to them from their fabricator and they simply retail it out. Not making excuses because they should definitely stand behind what they sell.

Ya they were REALLY nice and were great to deal with. I just want to try to get another piece and hope it fits better and looks a lil better than this one, I don't mind paying the high price if its nice.

Decided to just keep the piece, and it is 100% Carbon fiber, the back of it is unfinished carbon fiber, and the peice is literally prob. a couple of pounds.

I was going to make a veneer that would cost about $400 and the fitment would be "Joshua quality" and a bunch 'a haters destroyed my thread saying that $400 for top quality was too much.

Maybe sometime I'll ask for pre-investment (I would've had to pay for the prototype and tooling) interest again...

I wouldn't complain 1 Bit, espc. about carbon fiber. I know someone like yourself knows what your doing and $400 would be worth it for a one off piece like that.

F The Haters man!

Plus I just love carbon fiber, lol.

I have the grill, nose emblem, door sills, dash kit, and rear piece.
