once i get a camera id be more then willing to post up all types of crap ive gotten from carbon by design that does not fit. Some of the parts are:
Hood (bowed up in center at least 1/2 an inch above fenders)
Trunk (Had enough space between the center tail and the hole in trunk deck to call it grand canyon jr)
Eyelids (looked like my 3 year old sister cut them)
Fog Deletes (Dont fit the shape of the fog lights and wont stay on)
License plate holder (Would not sit flush due to Waves on back of item)
Pvo Spoiler (Wont even sit flush on the trunk deck due to more wave action going on)
C-pillars (didn't fit shape and they admitted the lost the stock piece and kind of winged it)
Ill be more then willing to get all the carbon stuff together and take pictures for you and everyone to see. Im sure others can chime in I know there are fitment issues with alot of stuff from them and i know im not the only one. In the beginning fitment on CBDs items was great but recently its pretty crappy.
When I asked if they could send out new stuff that fits i was told id have to pay for shipping back to them numerious times. So I pay for the product and shipping only to have to ship stuff back and pay again.
When I said I would post up on the forums here the product issues I had I got this response.....
"we do not care what people put on the forums regardless people will still buy from us."
That sounds like a business I would have never spent my money with knowing thats how much they care about there customers.
In cbds defense they sent me items at cheaper cost and some free to try to fix the problem and while im greatful i would not do business with them again. Not to mention im still waiting on stuff that should have went out before the holidays.
I am a nice guy and had stepped back from posting the full info but since con wanted to call me out ill let it all hang out.
I also have alot of carbon By Design stuff
b pillars fit perfect
c pillars also fit perfect
fog surrounds fit perfect
license plate surround fit perfect
fuse box fit perfect
radiator shroud fit perfect
Trunk Took a long time to get it to fit, But I ended up with a pretty good fit after a few hours and adjusting the latches.
I agree a hundred percent That there hoods and trunks can fit better and there has been some problems with fitment But Thats why I bought a VIS hood, So i understand 100 percent what your saying but there work with the smaller trim pieces is usally dead on and there clear work is a smooth as glass.
i will say there carbon lay is great and clear is usually pretty nice but the fitment on all the above stuff is horrible like i said ill get pictures of it all.
I got a grade B air induction hood from them and it fit like OEM it only took me about an hour or so adjusting the little stuff and it came out perfect
I have their hood in CF and their rear diffuser in fiberglass, no fittiment issues on either. The diffuser came to me without the hardware, but they were very quick to ship me out the hardware (and apologize) with a tracking number. I actually have a hood from the first batch of CF hoods they ever made...its near 4 years old and it is STILL doing okay. I agree with connsrt.
