Carbon Fibre S2 Front Foglight/indicator Surrounds Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

It's like the complete opposite of what I was expecting.

I went into it thinking I was going to have to trim and cut it to make it fit given it was the prototype and was amazed it fit without me needing to do anything.

Fellas keep in mind that mounting point locations are very hard to replicate within mm's without an expensive jig which would increase the price dramatically.

I hate saying it because we pride ourselves on positive feedback, but some minor alterations will be unavoidable with products with complex mounting points.

When these things coming

Oops just read the last page, I hope they come Monday now

Yeah I understand that 100%. Hence why I was counting on having to modify mine slightly. I must have just got the luck of the draw. At the end of the day, for the price they are and considering you don't really need to get all 6 fittings on (I had two snapped on my factory one and didn't even know) I still think they are damn decent.

I probably just got every one's hopes up when I said they were a perfect fit, sorry guys lol.

Fitted my set today, took a bit of effort to get them to fit although I am happy with the end result

Just got mine today, fairly happy with what I got, one visible blemish on the face side,

Any one else in Perth get a set of these, or am I going to be the only bad ass rolling around with a set?? Hope so!!!

If some one knows somebody that wants a set please buy my spare ones, they are just sitting in a box doing nothing :(

Has anyone compared them against other carbon they have on their car?

Mine seem very blue in comparison to my bonnet, maybe I just need to polish up the covers?

In any case, once I get them looking black (polish or tint) like carbon, they should look like this.

Picked mine up today and got them on eventually.. I only had problems with one of the mounting points on each, along the slanted corner which I managed to snap off on one (which made it easier to saw about 5mm off!) and sawed the same off the other without snapping it off. happy.gif Also had to use different screws but not a problem really. My FMIC piping was the worst problem I had, trying to get a bolt off where it was right in the way. Oddly the bolts on one side were 10mm the other side were 8mm.. Hmmm.

i have a return flow blitz cooler and it was a massive pain in the ass to squeeze my hand between the piping and get the bolts undone

and then re do them

next we need to get someone to cut the glass on those clear glass lenses so we can replace the orange indicators....

hmmm firstly I need some time to do all this stuff...

I accidentally smashed one when we moved to our new place, hence why I havn't really done anything new in that area :(

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
