Carbon fiber downtubes (not JCW)

I couldn't bring myself to spend 400+ dollars on jcw downtubes. So I had these bad boys show up today. Fitment required a bit of tweaking to get them in, but i expected such, as this is the case with most cf custom products. the weave is just like JCW. The threads are slightly wider, but not really noticeable, and for $180 shipped...a much better buy.




sorry for the sunny cell phone pics..








and here is a fun random pic that shows my wing nicely...(totally unrelated to this post)

Frm what I can see it IS a perfect match. Love what you have done now with the CF look to your interior. btw: Is that an M7 CF shift **** ?

its the m7 shift **** minus the m7 logo. Which means it was about $50 less and has some other companies name on it.
