Everyone thinks everything is perfect. Sorry out of the 50+ bowties sold on this and other sites..we had 1 customer complain about it. What did we do? Refund him the orgianl payment method (echeck) After recieveing that bowtie, noothing described was clearly visable without a mag. Glass. Again for the 100th time its not wrapped so obviously it will have a different weave then a trunk or hood or anything wrapped like dash trim etc.. its a mold. Not sure how everyone misses that everytime lol. Please keep thread on topic, if you do not like what we have to offer, keep it to yourself and find a cc08 Type thread to talk in lol...man I miss those myself!

BTW on my droid..spelling don't count :p

Every molded CF piece I've seen has a nice weave, and the CF is clearly visible. So idk.

What ever you say man I don't pay the 500+ to be a vendor to sell crap ill have to refund later... Makes no sence you are the only one with an issue and we've taken care of it. all vendors once in awhile will have a upset customer..maybe you just arnt on the forums much to notice. I would like to say we are the best when it comes to responding to customers pms/emails as I'm sure our customers will back us up on but that's not for us to decide. Now please, we've resolved your issue, let's put it behind us

Thank you. People forget for every bad post...theres 50+ that dont get posted about the good. Thats all And again i will make this post, Yes we use OEM bowties, Yes its REAL CF, Its from a mold and will not look exactly like hoods/trunks etc. We do not sell fake or look-a-like material. Not worth our time or effort to try and sell something that is fake.

I have them from you, but they are not installed yet.

Maybe I can help clear things up with you.
When I first got mine, I thought the weave looked strange, but when I put it on top of my real carbon fiber wing, it looked exactly the same (the pictures are earlier in this thread)
After all of the "confusion", I looked a little closer to try and find imperfections.

After you said it was a mold, the difference in weave made sense; I think.

Now my question for you:
I know when you wrap an object, you lay sheets and "paint" over top of it with a clear coat, with a style dependent on what final "dry" or "wet" look you want.
Can you go through the procedure of making it with a mold?

Not at all considering there made per order. We are not aa big company who can afford to have a factory mass produce them. Also with the way this community is when pre ordering something to be made..then complaining why its not made and shipped in a week..not worth the time lol. People who really want something different get them. So far that's about 50+ members. Remember we are a 2 man crew who do this in our spare time as we are also cobalt enthuseists. (Spl?) Too. We both work 40 hr week at our real jobs.
