How's the fit and finish? Looks good!

[Logic]

i feel that the final product i received fit quite well and the finish very very good from top to bottom and left to right i couldn't ask for anything better. they use a 3m tape on back which covers the whole area so prepping the panels first will allow for years of enjoyment. using a heat gun making them warm made them contour alot better and i used a dynamat roller to spread the pressure evenly. they are very thin which was good because you dont want a thick piece on the side that looks like it doesn't belong there and very easy to install . i would recommend them to any one . again prep time and doing it right will make them look great.

Thanks for posting this as soon as you did. I got the last set available lol. I literally bought them as soon as I saw them on your car. Once I get them you will have to help me out on how to install them properly. Thanks!

[alphanumeric]

why would u buy them when your car already comes with 4 of the 6 c230ksport00?

they look good and if I didn't already have 4 of the 6 that came stock on my car I would get these for sure!

[Logic]

the ones that come with the sports look fake and for mine they were kinda fading from all the times i clean her LOL . if i recall the place i bought them from had 4 sets and sold out of them. once in a while he will post more but these really look good. real carbon fiber , not a sticker :D
as far as install its pretty strait forward. when i prepped the pillars i used alcohol to clean the areas. not only did it clean it well it took some of the pattern off which to me wasn't a big deal. also make sure the car is room temp like in a garage and have a heat gun handy. what i did is made sure that the sides were correct before starting. then started with the right side first since i figured if i messed up at least i know what to do to the other side. after cleaning the pillars with alcohol get a clean towel and wipe any residue off that might be there . get your heat gun and warm them up a bit but not too hot , you don't want to warp them. i started on the top pushing them all the way to the rubber and before taking the whole backing off i stuck it and adjusted so that there was no gaps on top. after everything looking good i proceeded to pull the paper off and press with my hand. after its right on i got a dyanmat roller or you could use a laminate roller and i pushed in the center out and really pushed hard on the edges so they would n't peel. as far as the rear windows i did the same cleaning with alcohol and wiped with a towel. heated them up and applied them like the fronts you will see that they fit quite well ( well mine did) . and heated them up will allow the back one stick around the small rounded area.

When u say "heat" gun do you mean a Hot Glue gun to stick them on or a blow dryer mabey??

[Logic]

what i mean is a heat gun like a hair dryer, the panels already have the 3m tape on back. i had a heat gun which can get hot quick but if you have a hair dryer that will work to . you just want these a little warm when putting these on. bascially it does 2 things it make the carbon fiber more plyable and makes the tape stickier.

Alrighty then. Take some more pics where you have a sunnier day over there in CO. Thanks

[Logic]
