15 buyers eventually, or in a certain amount of time?

I think you would have a bit more success selling just the carbon insert for 40 or 50 buck with directions on install. Is that at all possible. I know its nice to mail a finished product but I would think most of the css members are capable of throwing the insert in...

considering how many "crap I f'd my car up" thread there are...i dunno if selling a kit would be wise. Then the vendor has to deal with people screwing up their stuff.

People cant even install my HID kits which are 3 plugs 100% plug-n-play..i dont think some could handle a harder job of prying there bowtie apart. As of now, we are not considering selling it that way.

These are absolutely guaranteed not to break, separate, wear down, fade, corrode, etc? Correct?

Chicago weather is harsh.

Just got mine today!
Look gorgeous.
Slightly different weave than my wing, but close enough.

PS: Mike. Tell your packing guy to be careful with the cotton. I just spent five minutes pulling thread off the sticker on the rear badge, and hope I got enough off. You might want to just cut the excess blue backing off, because it pulled up and let the wrap under it

I love carbon fiber but 80 for a front emblem is out of my range. buyhids.com has many good deals this being one of them but i cant dish out this on a bowtie. perhaps a group buy for 50 each if you get over 10 orders i might do that

It is real. It is a full CF mold with a UV resistant coating.

If you think about it, fake CF usually does look just like real CF, but it lacks the depth.
Unfortunately, a picture cannot capture the full extent of depth. Make sense?
