FS: Carbon Fiber License Garnish!, Check these out, they look pretty nice! Options

[celicaGT96]

wow thats pretty sweet! i just miight consider getting one..

[Badkarma]

im usually not a fan of carbon fiber, but i think on a dark color it would look great.

[GriffGirl]

The new Acura TLs have a CF license plate thingie... I think it looks really nice on them actually. If this one looks anything like the TLs do, it would probably look pretty nice on our cars!

[AnaXyd]

This Licence Garnish piece is really hard to remove! I've tried for some weeks ago, because I were trying to do some dampening behind it. I did not manage to remove it...


By the way, will CF match a black car?

[playr158]

its actually really easy
remove the tail lights first

i'm actually going to make one of these soon, just without the hole in it for the plate...smooth ftw

It sure will, I guess it all depends on angle too. In some angles it will have a silver scaly cast. Pretty neat. If you read up on the EBAY page they say that they have different colors. What they have I am unsure but wont hurt to ask the seller.

[KAOS]

This is exactly what I've been looking for; thanks poster!

[azian_advanced]

nice... i may just ask them to get mine done... sometime

[mneal2_92788]

I just bid I like this it's exactly what I want

[97lestyousay]

hmmmm, why no buy it now?

What are you talking about - did you win the auction?

[97lestyousay]

Everyone who bid got a second chance bid, I did at least.
I got mine for 101 plus ship. I also saw where you won the auction
but the auction says ships to US only. If there is a problem with shipping
to you Kaos let me know, I'll see if I can help you out.

Also these are made to order(5 to 10 days) then shipped so don't expect it in the next few days.
I was hoping to have mine by the 18th but then I read more and realized that probably isn't going
to happen.

Hahaha - I asked that guy for a few more parts done in CF as well, and he said he's going to try for me... that'd be sweet.

As far as shipping, I've already paid the invoice and he didn't sound concerned that I was from Canada... I'll just be paying out the arse for customs, but thanks for the help!! I appreciate it!

[97lestyousay]

hmmm I should send him my euro splitters, to see how much he would charge.

Emailed him direct, have 4 coming to the UK

Like KAOS, I asked about other parts. Wanting SS-III splitters and other bits if the price/workmanship is up to scratch

[KAOS]

hmmm I should send him my euro splitters, to see how much he would charge.

I kinda want to know how big of a vaccuum he's got for making the molds, because if you look at everything he has for sale on his ebay page - the size of the parts he creates seems pretty limited, I haven't asked him yet, but if the quality is there - I would be very interested in doing more business with this guy for sure!

[mneal2_92788]

yeah, im expecting mine by the end of this month. more parts would be nice, but this is enough for now.

[95st-celica]

whoever is making these obviously has/is around 6gc's to be making C/F license plate garnishe's....someone should message him and see what else he can do! doors, wings, fenders, hatches, hoods, interior pieces? i dunno just an idea but i do like these a lot...espically for a 2 toned car.

[whatthe]

yeah, im expecting mine by the end of this month. more parts would be nice, but this is enough for now.

id want to see pics of it on your car or any white celica if you get a chance to take a pic and upload it

can and will do. mine is silver but it will give you an idea

[ra65_22re]

Well I had ordered one awhile back and just got it in yesterday. it looks awsome right out of the box but just wait till you try to put it on... nothing fits. I'll prob have to mod it to get it to fit right but its to wide and hits the tail lights and the bumper and the top and bottom are to short and looks horrible none of the bolt holes match neither does the lock hole. to everyone that did buy this hopefully i just got a bad one or something but i will try to get my money back and will not deal with that same seller.

[97lestyousay]

My guess is they will all be the same. I haven't got mine yet, maybe next week.

[frisp]

Not sounding good. I'll be opening a dispute very quickly if they turn out to be crap.

[95st-celica]

damn that sucks...i was looking into gettin one of these as well....can you take pictures of how crappy it looks on the car and how off the holes are?

[vincent_doggy]

Guys, just if...... I might be able to ask for a quote, my friend have a stocked one around that I can send to supplier

[frisp]

Worth a go Vincent

[vincent_doggy]

Worth a go Vincent

Dude, should I ask them to make a long plate spec for u guys?

[frisp]

No need Vincent, well, not for me, however, it may be an option for the other Brits

[ra65_22re]

well here are some pics of the beautiful fitment...





















whats the factory one looks like. look at the where the bumper/taillights/lincense plate thing meet

[Culpable04]

wow, that doesn't even look like it was made for a celica. I'm glad I waited, I was gonna order one from them, It s*cks that a few of you ordered, hopefully you can get your money back or something.

[whatthe]

wow, that sucks man. The fitment is no way near close. Get your money back !!
But it does look real sweeet, only if it fitted

[frisp]

well here are some pics of the beautiful fitment...

Have they responded to your complaint yet?

[playr158]

that would be why i have a CF one sitting next to me that I'm making on my own.

that sucks that the fitment is so bad, hopefully you'll get some restitution.

[ra65_22re]

no respond yet. but i'll give them some time on it.

[KAOS]

no respond yet. but i'll give them some time on it.

I wouldn't give them much time... thats outrageous.

I already wrote him and asked him to test fit the item before his ships mine out... needless to say, I'm not impressed.

I just wrote him again and if i dont get a word by wednesday than i'll just give him negitive feed but i'll keep u guys posted if i hear from him or not.

[RisingSun1]

Does anyone know if it fits on a coupe?

[RisingSun1]

http://www.6gc.net/images/member_photos/5811_5.jpg

[azian_advanced]

good point... i was just about to suggest that...
maybe it's inteded for the coupe..

i'm going to be the third person and just suggest that it's most likely for a coupe.

[punkuup5150]

oh oh someone send it to me ill test fit it muhahaha lol

Careful with that quick negative feed back, it can come back and bite you in the as*. Go through the right steps if your having a problem getting in touch with him, go through ebays live help they'll tell you what steps you should take.

Look at it this way, if hes a power seller with like 1000 feed back and you leave a negative feed back for him it probably wont even change hiss feed back percentage. If you have less than 100 and he leaves you negative feed back your percentage can go from like a 100% to like 94% with just the one negative.

[frisp]

Might be worth confirming which model they're for. They might make good and make a batch for the hatchbacks if these prove to be coupe items.

[KAOS]

I sent him an email this morning regarding what model it was for and if he'd be able to get a mold for Hatches... if he can; I will send him mine.

[frisp]

Nice one, will send him an email putting mine on hold until this gets sorted out

[Slick]

Damn. I'm going to have to cancel my order.

[punkuup5150]

cough cough send me one ill test fit it lol i hope u guys get this worked out its an awsome peice for the celi

[ra65_22re]

Well he wrote this back

Dear ra65_22re,

I am sorry about that sure you can sent it back for a full refund please if you can take a pic of what it was wrong and I will fix it once it is fixed I will let you know to see if you want to buy it again, sorry for the inconvenience.


- americancarbonfiber1

And I would have to agree and say it might be for coupes. The carbon fiber one fits snug over the stock one which would explain why its bigger on every corner. He also sent a message to my e-mail that said he will even pay for shipping back to him so thats prob what I will do.

He asked me to send him the hatchback version so he could replicate them, but I have no spares.

Someone should hook him up...

[KAOS]

Ok so if RA65 22re didn't post up that picture of his car - I would be pissed that somebody else did.

(If its not him trying to sell it) - but that picture looks identical to the ones he posted above. No?

[96bluevert]

[frisp]

Yup, same pic as one of the ones he posted.

[97lestyousay]

Has anyone verified this fits a coupe? mine should arrive today and I guess I am not even going
to open it I am just sending it back. Unless someone with a coupe wants it.

If you want to make sure it fits a coupe/vert, we could try it on my car and see before you send it back. Not sure I'd nessesarily want one for my car, otherwise I'd buy it off of you.

Here's what i got from him:

Dear ligialy,

HI thanks for bidding, I did not know there was a difference, this one now I know it is for the coupe, I am to receive the stock part for the hatchback so that I can make the mold, you can wait if you want, thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

- americancarbonfiber1

I'm definately going to wait! Thanks to ra65_22re! (you gotta get an easier name! )

[Culpable04]

I'm definately going to wait! Thanks to ra65_22re! (you gotta get an easier name! )

looking at his screen name, he's a Celica enthusiast as well. RA65 is a chassis code for a Celica 1982-1985 and 22RE is an engine.

[whatthe]

Has there been any update on the hatchback cf license garnish?, we should all do a group buy or something

[Slick]

lol yea i posted it just to see if i could get 200 for it but nobody wants it so im just sending it back to get my refund and im also sending the guy my oem one aswell so he can get to work on making one that fits hatchbacks.

Apparently he's done and he's sending it back to you for fitment testing.

[frisp]

Great to hear, got 4 of these on order still

[ra65_22re]

Well I just got the new one in today and it looks great! I'll see if I have time to install it and take pics by tomorrow.

love those old celis.


the garnish looks nice now, looks like it fits flawlessly. any comments on fitments or quality of the piece ?

[trdproven]

It won't look good if this is the only carbon fiber part you have...

[NGHTKD]

... or atleast have some black. i found my black (not carbon) rear garnish only went well because of my black raiser blocks.

[ra65_22re]

it fits great i only had to demel the holes for the license plate it self and that was a very minor thing. quality is very good and very sturdy. lol its funny that this c/f piece weighs more than the oem one.

It won't look good if this is the only carbon fiber part you have...

that is the only carbon fiber piece i have on my car it dosent look bad at all. but just wait that will change soon enough

next sunny day i get i'll try to wash her up and snap some pics

no point on me getting one then, I love to improve the looks of my celi, but I've done enough stuff to make it heavier already. I have to start doing some performance oriented mods from now on.

[SeverX13]

so do these all fit perfect now? even for a coupe?

[KAOS]

so do these all fit perfect now? even for a coupe?

There was never a problem with Coupe fitment.
The original peice was from a coupe, thats why it wouldn't fit on the hatchback.

Well here it is! sorry i was at work and only have a pic phone

Have you talked to "americancarbonfiber1" yet to let them know this fits great now?
I talked to him recently and he mentioned he was waiting to hear back about fitment before he made any more, and I'd kinda like to get mine...

[mneal2_92788]

hes got feedback that it fits, mine gets mailed tomorrow!

[Slick]

Great! I'm goint to get mine now!

[frisp]

Digging this one up from the dead. Ordered 4 of these way back, held off until the fitment proved correct for the hatchback (too late to file a grievance with paypal, etc.).

Still no word, he's now ignoring messages through ebay & email direct. I've filed a complaint via www.ic3.gov.

Do any of you have a mailing address so as I can more detail.

Thanks in advance.
