The seam where all the pieces connect, are wavy and not straight at all. Also, the button not fitting for me just tells me that there is no quality control on this piece.

Are you going to give me a refund/replacement or will I have to bite on the bullet on this one?
It's just a little strange that a vendor doesn't know his own product and has to ask for pics from someone who purchased them. Maybe you should give me a refund and take this set I have.
Hey,

If you are not satisfied with the set, you can send it back to me and I will refund you 100%. The truth is that some of the moulds I use were NOT made by me but by the workshop. I unfortunately don't have a FD available so I can't test all the products before shipping! I did sell a few of those sets and never got a feedback! That's why I continued to sell them! Now I will definitely ask the workshop what is going on and try to amend the moulds.

First sample has been sent to Grinch and I am waiting for him to tell us if the fitment is good or not! I made this mould myself based on the OEM piece so I hope it will be good!!!

Having the same issues with the panels like rejckt.

Below are some pictures..

I should have taken the time to fit these and I would have saved you guys the grief.

I hope this gets sorted out.

Hey,

So for people not satisfied with their interior panels, you can ship them back to me and I will refund you 100%. I am really sorry but as I sold a few, I thought they were fine but they are not!!!

Grinch thank you for the beautiful picture. I am sorry but I think I misunderstood you. When you said hood I thought you talked about the lip on top of the piece!

OK I got a few emails also inquiring for this. I do have the OEM plastic piece for the cluster surround (from which I made the mould of the blank one). I need to check if I have the other parts of the interior.

What would be awesome is that somebody provide me a complete plastic set and I could make the blank set from it! I could offer a VERY interesting discount to this person!

Let me know!

Cheers,

Marc

It looks as if im getting the short end of the stick on my FRP AD9 hood. Fitment is not good. The studs were significantly off and bent via production, theres a large gap on the passenger side and the hood is too long in the front. The fitment is bad to where the hood wont close. I dont suggest purchasing this FRP AD9 hood.

Hey,

I replied you by PM already. I honestly have no idea how your hood can be that bad when I sold 4 pieces in carbon fiber and everybody said that fitment is good. For the hinges, maybe you could ask a paintshop to adjust them to make the hood sits better?

I am really sorry anyway and we will continue by PM to find a solution for this.

As for the interior CF pieces, the mould for the center console is being made. I just need the OEM plastic sample of the AC panel to have the full set available so if anybody has it, I would appreciate if you could ship it over!

Marc, thank you so much for making it right. Marc and I have come to agreement and he is a great stand up guy who is willing to make things right so please dont hesitate to purchase items from him. Im sure he will address the small issues my hood has in the future and the FRP hood will fit great. Thanks again Marc for taking care of me and great customer service!

For whatever is worth, I can also vouch for Marc. He is a stand up guy and honest seller.
I received a full refund for the carbon fiber interior parts. In the future I will not hesitate to deal with him again.

There are not many carbon fiber vendors out there with a good track record.

Yes honestly I am really annoyed when I hear that my parts are not fitting. For Miatas, I don't have this problem as I made the moulds myself and test the fitment of the parts on my NA and NB before they are released so I know for sure that the fitment will be spot on.

I unfortunately don't have a FD in Shanghai (I think there are less than 3 in the whole China and they go for crazy prices - 60000 USD or so) so for all those parts I need to make the moulds and send parts for testing before I can actually sell them (still waiting for Grinch to let us know if the blank cluster gauge is ok or not!).

Anyway, thanks for still trusting me! The full black interior panels set will be done soon! As soon as I can get my hands on the AC panel!

Marc
