CarbonDynamics GT350 Fenders

Is there a concern with paint matching on Fiberglass when met with metal on the car or is that no longer really an issue?

they look great!, but will wait for price to drop before pulling the trigger, and for sure post some pics of the unpainted product on the car already to see the fitment quality

Corvettes are made of fiberglass. Time isn't really the issue with fiberglass as far as concerns go. My car isn't a daily driver but if I did, I wouldn't worry about the parts being fiberglass. My main gripe about fiberglass is that it doesn't give a whole lot and tends to crack on impact which is why you see these busted ricers with half their front bumpers missing from being too low and running into shit where typical OEM materials are a urethane based part that has a lot more give and impact resistance. But for some fenders, I have zero concern about them being made of fiberglass.

Carbon dynamics seem to be a solid bunch of people. If when you get yours the fitment is at or close to oem im down for sure. I really want this from day one. I just dont want to modify it and fiberglass doesnt give ir stretch like sheet metal

Depends on how keen an eye you have. Every surface that's a different material can differ in color, so even the OEM bumper to hood isn't EXACT. It just depends on how good of an eye you have for it. The current OEM fenders aren't the same material as the door currently anyway. They will probably require some good prep work before painting but ideally should look fine.

Those look nice but damn even at the group buy price that a lot of cash for a fender. Too bad I think they will look nice.

They've already said no.

I'd agree with you but judging by some of the arrogant and cocky posts Samuel has posted on facebook and on here, I could care less about him or his company.

Not to defend the Carbon Dynamics guys but they made good to a lot of customers with damaged spoilers, I think it was from shipping damage. That says a lot (good) about them. Specially if they are new to the game.

Some businesses advertising in this forum don't even do that for a single rusty nut. Just saying.

I do agree that they should add more details and be more customer service oriented specially in their Facebook responses. People want to hear more than little short two word answers to their questions.

I agree on the communication portion. They are a relatively new company. Many just working out the kinks.

Not 100% sure, but I have suspicion to believe CD reached 40 preorders as the original thread is closed. If that's the case, awesome!

I would have purchased, too, if any of my questions/PMs were ever responded to :shrug:
