I'll share my .02 here. I had an Autopower roll bar for sale on here. CFEclipse and I had swapped a few PMs and then emails about trading some carbon parts for my bar, and I was more than happy with the idea of the deal, but it never went beyond that.Thats my car above in the quote...
Ok im going to try and and write this without swearing...
To my knowledge, i did not buy that carbon trunk or tailight from you and if i did, then you seem to have multiple company/screen names which solves alot of questions i had about you.
That trunk is nothing to brag about either, im currently getting a new one since as you can see in the picture... it doesnt sit flush on the left side.... and was made with cheap resin that turns yellow in the sun even after i had it resprayed with top shelf clear coat
Second, i would never recommend you to anyone not even my enemies. By far THE WORST TRANSCTION i have gone through. Talking about months and months of same excuses to get my mirror brackets wrapped in carbon fiber... i can only image what getting a hood and hatch from you would be like
Ended up having to contact Ludacris twice to get your attention when you didnt bother replying to me
END
From what I was told, GT Fab did not make yours and Gastroker's doors. They just sold them to you. CFX made them. I don't have a way to confirm this to be a fact, but I was told from what I believe to be a good source. Just FYI. I don't believe GT Fab ever made anything in CF.Ludachris you are right, GTFab and Carbon EFX are not the same business...

After a couple weeks of me sending numerous PMs, I finally got one back that claimed the parts were almost ready. After that nothing. So long story short, I ended up selling it to someone else. I can't make any claims on the quality of the products, but I can say from personal experience, the communication just flat out sucks.
We have two Supporting Vendors who sell good stuff. One sells multiple brands, including CFX, and the other one makes it himself - Carbonetics. The one who sells the hood and hatch talked about early in the thread is CarbonFiberHoods.com. Everyone seems to be happy with that brand....so who makes the good stuff then and where do we buy it from?
I had been told that CarbondEFX (CFX) had been sold a couple times in the past 3-4 years. So it could have been called something different when Culver was dealing with them. He likely didn't want to share who the real manufacturer was so that nobody would try to deal with them directly. For the same parts as GT Fab was reselling, you should be able to go through CarbonFiberHoods.com now.Ludachris you might be right. I remember having shipping problems with GT Fab, when I called the shipping company they didnt find my package been sent by GT Fab, but by another name, I dont remember, let me look up my files of all the parts Ive bought for my 2G, but it wasnt Carbon EFX either. I remember when I asked culver from GT Fab about it he stated its a sister company of them also, and I remember he said they made the carbon fiber parts. I had a suspicious of something shaddy and started poking around untill I found out more info, Culver from GT Fab stated they have shipped my cf doors but when checking tracking online and calling the shipping company they didnt have a package from GT Fab been delivered to me on their system. Thats when I started to get worried, and started calling GT Fab over and over with little to no solution, he kept telling me the shipping company had picked up the package. It got to the point it started getting shady, and I started calling every body kit performance shop in the California area asking question about a shop named GT Fab and getting info here and there. Finally I discovered the shipping company had the package but not under GT Fab names, under another performance shop name. The whole mess was the shipping company didnt registered the package on their system cause they where waiting for an authorization from GT Fab or the sister company about the package not been able to be insured. When I asked culver from GT Fab about the company name the shipping company had the package under he stated it was a sister company, which sounded a little shaddy by that time, since he never mentioned it before when I told him the shipping company didnt have a package on their possession under GT Fab. Luckily at the end I got my doors in top notch shape and the fittment was close to perfect. But GT Fab customer service sucked and I think they went out of business, although their website its still on.

Sergio from Carbonetics has been talking about doing a BMW CSL style 2g hatch that I've been interested in for a while, but it hasn't happened yet.
Talking s**t? No, I don't believe so. I stated exactly what happened with our failed transaction. I was agreeing with DSM_PWR in saying that your communication is COMPLETE and total crap. I was more than happy with the agreement we had, you are the one who fell through by claiming the parts were almost finished, and then you started ignoring my PMs.Come on you cant talk s@hit ### we did´t finish a transaction, that happens many times on many forums.. so please grow up....
I'm more concerned about fitment as my cf hood & hatch will be painted to match.
