My luck with carfasion, so far has been almost a complete waste of time and money. Ever since I saw the group buy for this kit I wanted to jump on the deal but didn’t have the funds. By the time I finally was able to dish out the money for them the group buy was over. Luckily a few months later I found carfasion selling the kits on ebay. Of course I was a joyous kid waiting for the carfasion kit. At the time I figured since there was a group buy the quality must be pretty good right? Wrong. Everything was going smoothly until after I paid carfasion. Before the purchase I worked with them on a package deal for the pre 89 lip and the sides and the rear pieces and communication was spectacular.
Then this is where everything went bad. Once paid, they wouldn’t answer my emails, I actually had to ask Nick what’s going on with my order. About a month later I finally receive the kit, of course I wasn’t home so I had to get my mom to sign for it, so I had her check it over real quick to make sure there was no damage before signing for it. All checked out. The next weekend I get back from school and take a look at this kit like a kid on christmasmorning only to find out I had a hole in the fiberglass on one of the sides.. I figure no big deal I’ll just reglass the hole and I’ll be on my way.
I start on my project by prepping the lip which I might add, looks hot. The lip was so-so, it needed minor fixing due to small holes in the resin.. nothing a little spot putty couldn’t fix. I had that painted and now that’s done. Next I worked on the rears, those were pretty much flawless, I didn’t need to do any real work to them besides sand and primer.
Now this is where I think carfasion completely sucks. The sides. As I was sanding those to a smooth finish I found out there were air holes in the resin which collapsed as I was sanding; about 5 spots total (two sides). Of course I was pissed because I spent all this money on sides that were crap. But whatever, I wasn’t going to argue with carfasion after their complete joke of customer service. So I filled these spots with fiberglass and all was well until the fitting on the car. These sides are too short!!!!! And they don’t even fit properly!!.. I emailed carfasion saying that the sides did not fit, and it’s been about two weeks.. of course no response. Just today I decided to sit down and really look at them and see what I can do to just make them work…. Welll this just pissed me off, no way in hell am I going to get these to fit. The fiberglass is starting to crack because it was molded way to small. What a waste of money……. Summary of my story.. i wasted my money, carfasion sucks, spend the extra and get the original bomex or shineauto.
