Urgh, I need a better camera...

 

Can barely see the CF pattern
How's the weave and quality?

 

This better?

 

Oooh!! That's nice! Looks like we gotta have a beauty contest for STi C/F wings at Mt. Hammy
Gruppe-S (mine and porkchop's) vs. yours vs. the authentic ones (like Subydude and fryrice have) :banana:

 

So is that the new one? How do you like it?

 

You're on!

 

Okay, i know i've been lagging on the explanation but I was waiting for a 3rd wing to show up.

So here's the story. I bought the wing from company I found on eBay. I was a bit nervous since the wing was different from most of the ones out there but the Carbion Fiber bases looked hot. The pics were great and I got lots of good email responses. I ended up buying the wing outside of eBay (he had 11 wings for sale) and he shipped it in a couple of days and gives me tracking number.

Wing shows up and it's not like the wing I got pics of. The carbon fiber is messy, was shipped with a couple of pieces wrong, and the wing is a different (3 piece) design. On the plus side, the carbon fiber bases are pretty damn good looking.

I send raging email to my contact at the company. Guy takes a few days to get back to me. Says he was having server problems. Ha. He offers to refund me my money or exchange it for another wing he has. Sounds like the other one is actually the replica that everyone else has (Choku Dori, etc). He says he'll ship it out and I can decide which one or neither I want to keep.

Proceeds to take a month for him to ship out. Excuse after excuse. I still haven't received it but he says he finally shipped it out on Tuesday. Should be here soon.

In the meantime, I found someone local that was selling their cf replica wing. But he had melted his bases when heat gunning them in attempt to remove them from his WRX. I bought it for cheap and salvaged parts from both wings. Enough to give me a nice CF wing with nice CF bases. It cost me more than I had planned but I have a damn unique wing now.

If that other wing ever shows up I'm thinking about never emailing the guy again and hoping he forgets about me.

and...

I have another carbon fiber wing for sale. Great bargain!

 

Ha!, let me know if you end up having a good carbon fiber wing to sell me with the carbon fiber base. Thanks for the info!

 

I just want the CF bases
My cheeseburger offer still stands...

 

Note to self: Find another neighborhood to park car in.

 

If you see a cheeseburger and a thank-you note on your hood scoop....
