Aesthetic Creations molded covers

Has anyone ordered the Aesthetic Creations molded covers for the R56?
The photos look good but sometimes they don't tell the full story. How is the quality and fit? I know vinyl will work but checking out the options.

I have order door handles and emblems but they haven't arrived yet. AC takes a super long time to ship there products due to a small operation. But have only heard good things about the quality.

fit is not great... I have a gap between the door and the mold such that you can see the chrome. A little annoying.

I placed an order with them on March 14th and nothing is received yet. I'm just putting mine on temporary (whenever I finally get them) to see if I like the look. I have handles, fuel door and emblems ordered in Dark Silver. If I like the look I'm going to go ahead and paint the chrome parts and then the covers will be for sale if anyone is interested in them.

You gotta be kidding me - 2, 3, even 4 months without a delivery? That's ridiculous! If I had something on order and they couldn't fill it within 2-3 weeks, sayonara baby!! You guys are being played...

hes the only person since i boguht my car that ive ordered exterior products from. The carbon fiber group buy never worked out not because of him. He decided to then make the molded covers instead. Its been only around 3 months or less i think and bye himself will be able to begin mass producing this stuff shortly. If anyone hasnt noticed no one else is making these parts. He continues to try to improve the molds by learning from past batches so be patient the final result will be great. I hate to wait as much as everyone else so i understand ur complaints but mike is one guy like myself running a business so i understand where evryones coming from. So far ive been happy with AC stuff bye the way mike if u read this how are the new carbon fiber doorhandles coming along lol (he says they came up with new concept for cf doorhandles)?
