CF Door Handles

Anyone else hyped to get their CF Door Handles (or other CF bits) from the Aesthetic Creations group buy?

I'm ready to pop from the excitement, I cant wait!

Not yet.
I emailed about them two weeks ago and got a reply of at least a month before deliveries. So, I hope in a couple of weeks.

Not going nuts just itching to get them. It will be a great excuse to spend the day in the garage ignoring responsibilities & my wife.

Here is a copy of the update. Looks like we will be waiting a little longer… On the flip side with the way the weather has been around here when they come I may be able to install them outside in the sun.

Carbon Fiber Group Buy update

I have had a lot of emails in regards to the CF GB that took place about a Month ago.

So here is an update for you guys that took part in the GB.

I ended the GB on Dec. 15 when I ended the GB I inform everyone that it would take 6 to 8 week from the time the order was placed for the parts to get them in and send them out to you. It took me 3 weeks form the closing of the GB to collect all the funds to get started.
So here is what we are looking time wise.

I gave the order to my CF guy on around the 1st of January. So that puts us at a little over 4 weeks that he has be making the parts. It's going to be closer to 8 weeks for the parts to be ready for shipping. That means I will have all the parts ready and shipped out before I leave for AMVIV.

The parts will be shipped out in the order of the list form the GB.
https://www.northamericanmotoring.com...3&postcount=59

So please have some Patience as we get through the initial production quota.


For those of you that read the thread about someone getting the CF parts way ahead of you guys these were prototype parts and where ordered and paid for before I even started the GB.

So with all that being said. Sit back and relax. I will post another thread when I have the parts in hand and start to ship them out.

Thanks

That's funny. The gas cap is the only chrome on the car I don't hate.
