Great Post

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

Just to let you guys know, the quality is not good. Sorry CLKINDIVIDIDUAL, but this statement was incorrect. Probably one of the reasons I haven't put them on yet.

Maybe the way to go is to snag a set of mirrors off a salvaged car, ship them out to Ivan and have him cover them for you. It sure looks like they do some beautiful CF work.

I was thinking about that. I already have the drivers side, just looking for the passenger.

I really don't see why you shouldn't be getting a refund Dyno.
Those things didn't come cheap

Hmmm, you should have your stuff anytime now right?

Unfortunately in my case, I don't think Ivan is going to make a wheel for me, he figures the leather color will be too tough to match despite me sending him my VIN to color code match. I'm exercising another option now and will let you know how it works out. I may however still go with him for a CF shift knob and CF interior trim if I ever get around to swapping it out.

It's creeping up on a full month after the initial ETA. I don't think I will be able to get a refund, but I definitely will talk to Ivan as soon as I have the pieces in my hands.

That's a shame. Keep us posted on the route you take.

Ohh..I didn't even want to go through the hassle. I took it as a learning experience.

Yup, no trim. Just a wood steering wheel and the wood around the radio.

I bet it won't look that bad on a black car though? If you want to sell them let me know I could give them a try

I think you get the refund. He knew they look bad (at least from your pictures) and still sell them to you.

They look worse than the Chinese stuff. I wouldn't even put them on a black car. Who knows if the weave wouldn't start to unravel after a few car washes.

This was a couple months ago. There's even some bubbles in the resin. I was very dissatisfied.

I was thinking to vinyl wrap the inside and than put them on the mirror! The holes would blend in with a black car given the CF is black as well!

I still dont like the fact he sold Smth to Dyno that he knew wasn't the quality he was asking for!
Where is he anyway haven't seen his posts anymore!
Now the rest should think twice in buying theCF side skirts he was offering
