Contact Matt from oCarbon. He makes excellent pieces.

Basically if you pay $100 he will sell you a cleaner set it looks like. it's obviously setup to be cheap so a sucker will buy it acknowledging it is sold as is and obvious you see all this mess on it, so you cannot return it. pay the extra $100 and you're basically paying $200+ for something that he will just put a cheap carbon fiber wrap on it to cover those scratches.

the damage is all pretty superficial. would be able to clean these up in 15 minutes.

only problem i see is an area on one of them that is completely missing the resin/clear.

how much are these replacements new anyway?

Had a set of these before. They're good initially but clear coat deteriorated in less than a year. Can't reiterate this enough: you get what you pay for.

are you the seller? didn't mean to offend if you were, it was an ebay listing. I figured if he was legit he would put his name on the line in the forum first for a fellow member if it was sincere.
