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!!!

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?

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.

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.

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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
