NicsR33 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 hey guys, i need a new frontbar. basically ive been dealing with GT Autostyle with my previous car but unless u get a complete kit then his parts are pretty expensive (but worth it, top quality). Basically: GT Autostyle: $550 Jetspeed: $410 Carmate: $380. I know alot of you buy the carbon fibre hoods but i need feedback on the mould quality and fittings of their kits. if anyone has had any experience (i dont care for customer service u just get in and get out) im talking about parts and quality can you reply on this page. cheers!!!

MANWHORE Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 um, perhaps you ought to read down a couple threadS? There was just a thread about this like 2 days ago, and another one last week. You may think that you don't care about customer service. Sure, it's fine if the product is perfect, and it fits perfectly straight on. But what about if you go to a bodoykit shop and the product is absolutely shit and the guy doens't wanna deal with you at all. Tells you to f**k off, and doesn't care about threat of legal action? Do you care about customer service now? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/155321-carmate-products/#findComment-2888636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicsR33 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) i saw that thread u were talking about. doesn't give a good wrap about carmate. still dont care for customer service. if u dont like the product then dont shop there. im not far from carmate so i can always just have a look at the mould before hand. ive seen enough moulds to know which are the ones u should stay away from. might have to go back through GT Autostyle, atleast i know wat im getting.

n15m0 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 That thread you are refering to basically sums it up. There have been good and bad experiences. The only way I would buy from them if i was able to inspect before purchase. Its luck of the draw and at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

MANWHORE Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) mould? carmate don't mould their own kits. They just buy them premade from asia also nismo, inspecting is hard. Unless it's something like a bonnet where you can unbolt yours and bolt it on and test it, other stuff is hard. e.g. a front bar. you might need to chop your reo for it to fit, so it's not like you can just take yours off, and put it there to try etc etc. On my other car, I took it there, unbolted the reo, more material still needed to be taken off to make it fit. that's where the trouble began. for quality, look at that thread too. there's plenty said about the quality as well as the service Edited February 7, 2007 by MANWHORE Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/155321-carmate-products/#findComment-2889238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
