Mine looks pretty good, I only see 1 small pull and thats fine with me

That IMRC cover looks good on the right side, and just goes down hill by the end of the left side. :blackeye:

 

[Redlineracer12]

I think it looks awesome :drool: Even if the weave isn't perfectly laid out.


Who cares if it's not all perfect? :shrug:

Lower Right bolt hole, weave looks like its on LSD and trippin!

At damn near $200 I'd expect a tad bit better craftmanship or at least a little better qaulity control.

I suppose

I didn't notice the lower right corner or the break in the top left at first. I still like it though

Yeah no kidding. It kinda destroys my view on how well they are committed to satisfying their customers.

I've been saying that since they started the GB, was never impressed with any of their revisions to improve the weave problems. They said "it's going to happen" and I thought, "weird, the one i have at home doesn't have any weave imperfections." :shrug:

Not impressed, but congrats on the buy Ryan.

I think it is alright and acceptable. I think it compares to trying to wrap a paper world map around a ball, it just won't fit right without making some cuts.... No cuts leads to wrinkles, folds, and distortions.... it looks good

 

[CSVT1214]

Yeah, if you saw the pictures of mine, you wouldn't be too impressed either. :nonono: $200 wasted IMO.

 

[fordrule]

congrats ryan looks awsome

 

[ContourGuy9817]

i think it looks awesome, and you should be thankful we can get anything for our cars at all.

I couldnt agree more, we always want cf parts now a company makes them and all people do is complain, things cant always be perfect with cf, make the best of what we can get.

 

[boumacj]

Looks good man, few if any will notice the flaws.

I'm sorry Joe, but you're wrong on this. I'll be glad to show you mine any time so you can see what a real quality piece(worth $200) looks like.

 

[CSVT#49]

I wonder if it is because of the way they are doing it... I seem to remember them saying they are using the vacuum infusion method. If this is not done correctly it will pull the material away from the mold, stretching it spots.

I have seen yours... it is sitting on the top of your cabinets in your shop office.... Got lucky on that one, every other I have seen has a spot that just hasn't layed right.... :shrug: I would say yours is "one in a million"

I didn't buy one, so really - I don't care. I won't bash what someone else just paid $200 for and was excited to get. I am sure they are a little pissed that the weave isn't perfect, but they are glad that a shop took the time to make these. One cancels out the other.

If they didn't like it enough, I am sure that they would send it back and have the shop try again.
