You bring up an interesting situation from a business perspective. In my opinion the most important customer for any company to get a hold of is the skeptic. Getting parts in your hand, having you install them, and showing you the fitment is OEM is a true win for the company. Winning you over is also what validates the brand and gets others on board. The golden question is how to get you comfortable enough to buy the components in the first place.Send me a complete set to do my whole car minus the rear spoiler and I’ll try them out.
Maybe I’m being to much of a perfectionist, but many years in the industry hasn’t proven me wrong yet.
I have my complete kit being ceramic coated and covered with PPF at Imperial Works now. As soon as it’s done I will detail the install and get some up close photos to help show the fitment. These kits have been around since the GT350 was released, and there has not been anything less than positive reviews so far. Hopefully some of my experiences and photographs will provide some added confidence. I will be doing it at home on my own with basic tools to illustrate that the average enthusiast can get it done.
Sooo I can speak a little to durability. Last year about this time I was rolling up and down Glendora Mountain Road with some buddies. At the end of the roadway we all tried to squeeze into a fairly tight area to park and not block traffic. I misjudged a curb and took the splitter into it pretty good. This was right before fabulous fords, so I figured I had grenaded it. Between the splitter guard washers and PPF I was fairly lucky. Only damage was a few loose fibers at the very bottom, and peeled up PPF. Trimmed that with some toe nail clippers and was good to go. The carbon will hold up well to a point. I’ve had several similar experiences around town as well. The bumper will flex a decent amount before the carbon fiber comes to a point where it has to give.I am interesting in the Splitter but I dont have much faith it would survive and unexpected bottoming out. I am wrong?
Whats the story with the relaunch?
For the re-launch it made more sense to bring Carbon2Carbon back under the company Chris had already established, MAD Industries. During that process the web store was taken down and many folks looking for carbon had to message him direct. This is a good way to make it know that they are back under a new name, but the same quality parts. Plus, who doesn’t love a discount
