Ok so i recently purchased a red carbon fiber vinyl from this seller on ebay

Seller

now what i received looks like this. Sorry for not resizing








The seller keeps telling me that it is the same item and the pictures were taken with an HD camera and tells me i am making excuses because i dont like the item

Well no duh i dont like it. What is shown in the pic is nowhere close to what i got.

Am i blind here or is this clearly wrong? The seller insist it is the same item...

You guys tell me plz

Wow, that's bright. How much did you spend? I really can't tell from either your pics of the pic on the eBay link.

Clkboi

Spent like the 35 on it. Nowhere in the auction does it say that the vinyl has such gloss at it. In a regular vinyl you can feel the weave but in this you cannot and its terribly glossy.

Sorry to hear. There is always an escape clause for the seller. It reads "Colors may vary from the picture and video. Its very hard to capture the vivid colors and different shades of the vinyl. We recommend ordering a sample."

Chalk this one up as a 'lesson in eBay life' and move forward soldier.

learn to resize, pleaseeeee

Resize is automatic and sometime, it won't allow your to upload the pic if it too big.

+1. I have had plenty of those!



That's why it's better to host the pics on a site,

I didnt resize for a reason as i mentioned in my first post.

So you guys are telling me it looks the same . I guess its my fault than.
I have plenty of ebay lessons lol i used to have over 40 sales a day when i was into software and electronics.

I was just mad that the product i received was no where close to what i thought it would be.
Ill suck it up and buy another roll.
Thanks for your opinion guys

i am trying to wrap my wood trim with it.

you could use some rubbing compound on it, it would take a while but it would get some of that gloss off. Then wet sand/polish and it would be the same(just thinner clear coat) Honestly though, for $35 I would just buy more haha.

Clkboi

Lol true that sounds like a lot of work.
I already ordered from another seller so lets see what he will send.

dynomite05

lol, order a sample first meng.

Clkboi

this is the reason why i havent bought anything on ebay except for school textbooks when i was in college. i always like to see and feel things before i buy....sorry to hear about your purchase...try to sell it to a rice-rocket owner...

Clkboi

lmao i have a lot of them around i will seriously consider that.

Story i want to share.

A riced up V4 Honda Accord was trying to race me in my CLK he thought he could keep up or win because of his loud dual setup. He said " listen man you think you can handle this and revs his engine"
I just smiled and acted like i pushed a button under my steering wheel. Green light and there he goes with a Police officer pulling him over instantly.

I knew about it the whole time

I waved when driving by him...

lol...that is cold blooded...funny story though. whats disappointing is that the new accords, altimas, and almost camry have the same horsepower as my w209 350....pisses me off!!!

dynomite05

lol,

Clkboi

Really? huh i didnt know that

08clk350

yup...v6 accord has 271hp (stock)

dynomite05

That's what I had before the CLK, a 2006 Accord Coupe V6 6spd
