Hey those look great. If you can get a good clear picture of them would you mind emailing me a copy.

Thanks

So it takes about 2 months for door handles and gas cap to be finished and sent?

I don't know about you guys but I don't think I can tease myself with great products like these...

Could you confirm my estimate? 2 months of wait time correct?

2 to 3 months. It should be faster now since they just got more help.

Just got my door handles and head light rings. Ordered beginning of March. Got them end of May. Pretty much a 3 months wait. I ordered the matte black headlight rings and door handles. A test fit shows that the door handles will show a bit of the chrome. The head light rings fit very nicely and looks great. However, up close you can see all the imperfections such as slight discolorations and etc. Everything comes with double sided 3M sticky tape and the door handles don't seem to stick on. I had some of my own 3M foamed double sided sticky tape and use those instead. I also had to use some vinyl tape to get rid of some of the chrome.

I give it a 3/5. I feel that for something so expensive and for something that took so long to make should have a better fitment and better quality. I think if your going to sell a product that's intended to cover up the chrome on your door handles, then you shouldn't really have to expect the consumer's to buy vinyl tape on their own to perfect the product you sell...

This has been mentioned in this thread already. All door handles are different from factory as they are recessed differently, so it is impossible for them to make them all fit perfectly. Also, my order came with vinyl tape to use in case chrome still showed....several others have received the same tape...maybe they forgot yours or you overlooked the strips?

I bought door handles, gas cap, front and rear badges...I had no issues with the products sticking with the supplied adhesive. sorry about your misfortune.

My 2 cents...no aftermarket product is worth the wait that this supplier puts its customers through. I ordered pieces from them on March 14th and have not yet received them. Quick to take your money...slow to deliver.
