Carbon Fiber Liners Group buy

Ok here is the group buy thread for ya'll. These are real Carbon Fiber overlays that you take your fender liner out and glue this piece into the place that shows ( and yes they fit right into that spot) and then u reinstall the fender liner and your set.
As for the full carbon fiber replacement fender liner those will cost more and they are really only for show not really practical. THEY ARE FLEXIBLE AND WILL COME WITH CLIPS TO REINSTALL YOUR FENDER LINERS INTO YOUR CAR SINCE THEY ( CHRISTMAS TREE CLIPS) SEEM TO BREAK WHEN PULLING THEM OFF.
Here are the prices as follows and keep in mind they are not 100% perfect and they will take at least two weeks at the most to make and send out.

-FENDER LINER GLUE ON PEICE THAT SHOWS IN THE ENGINE BAY. The ones in the pics below
$150 SHIPPED


-FULL REPLACEMENTS THAT REPLACE THE FRONT HALF OF THE LINER
$375 SHIPPED

MY PAYPAL IS whiteturbo876port@hotmail.com AND I REQUIRE THE DEPOSITS BEFORE I MAKE THE PART FOR YOU AND SEND IT OUT.



Keep in mind there is going to be alot of orders so the first batch made will take longer than the rest but i promise the wait will be worth it. here are pics of the product installed.




Here is the list guys put your name on it when u send the money jsut cut and paste with your name in it.

Orders
1.
2.
3.

the full replacement is basically a special order as it will cost alot of money to make the mold for just one pair.

fender

keep in mind i know carbon fiber really well... these overlays are only one layer unlike a hood or fender that is usually 4-7 layers fiberglass and one layer carbon fiber. I only did one layer so the fender liner still can flex for installation. here is a video

. the parts in the pic is 2x2 twill and are made to flex just like the stock plastic fender liner. but i can do plain weave also just takes more time

so do you have to take off the original liner to put it on for you can do it from the engine bay?

looks pretty damn flexible. What kind of wear resistance does it have compared to stock? Have you done any kind of testing of that nature?

I'm just thinking for guys with low cars who go through fender liners quickly.

It really depends on what part your talking about, the full liner or the inserts, and what part of the fender liner usually wears on a lowered car? As for testing they don't serve any purpose but to make those spots look nice they don't do anything special they just sit there and look pretty. the epoxy resin used is UV protected so they wont fade, go milky, or turn yellow. And as for keeping them clean and nice all u gotta do is buff them if they get all scratched over time, its just like keeping the paint nice on the outside of your car you wash it maybe wax it once in a while.

I'd consider but the price was too high.

For the glue-in inserts $80-$100 shipped is probably more palatable to most...IMHO

FWIW
