just pay with PayPal... also not sure where you’ve seen CF hood and fender vents for 50% less?

Paypal ensure's purchases? I said OP was selling these more than 50% off, not that you could find CF for 50% less that what OP was offering.


Anderson Composites sells the scoop for $900, pair of vents for $360. That's $1260 vs $500.

@EL Snagadore What race team do you work for and what supplier are you using? Any links you can provide? I don't mean to be skeptical, but you're selling these for more than 50% off what you'd typically see for these, are not setup as a vendor here, and nothing yet that verify's your legit. I like what you're selling, but wouldn't want to send money your way only for you to disappear after you take a few thousand from users here.

Again, not trying to claim you're not legit, and if I'm missing something, I'd be happy for anyone to show how this would be a safe transaction.
If you would like to double the price feel free to do so lol. I'll tell you what, were is how it will be safe and put your mind at ease. I will send the 4 that I have on here going to members and they can pay me when they receive it. They can post on how the transaction went. I really was not going to even sell them on here just ebay and not mention they came through my team because I am not sure how some people at the team will feel. One member PM'd me and said give us first shot, so I did. Hows does that sound? That's fair no?

Yea, if you were on ebay, had a history on this site, registered vendor here, or had some regular members here who could vouch for you. Even then, probably are legit. But $500 it too much for me personally to risk. I'll wait or pass. But it is a great deal, and I hope your customers are happy with it all.

I'm interested in seeing what the taller hood vent looks like as well. These look like quality pieces.

You must have had a real bad experience somewhere melvin, I'm over here saying I will send the product first and you can pay after you receive it and you say "even then" 500 is too much to risk? What are you risking if I send it out first? Not sure I quite get that, But anyhow I appreciate the feedback and I too, hope everyone is happy with the carbon fiber as much as I am. Cheers

My apologies as I missed that part about sending product before payment. Rather admirable of you.

Yes PayPal offers buyer protection. I misunderstood your comment about pricing I hadn’t had my coffee yet.

I’ll be sure to report back after I get my parts

All good Mel, Not trying to get over on anyone. I appreciate it.

Sending 4 sets of a product without any deposit to 4 people he doesn’t know from Adam, sounds like a stand up kinda guy to me. He shall prove his worth shortly by this. The members who gets the products can provide feedback to this thread as well. Mel your going to prove this guys honesty or exploit him now lol

Regarding then Applique’s. I think if you made them with the same Ford and Raptor logo imprinted into them, might be best. Almost just like factory. In ways people like to keep originality of there truck, while customizing it. Of course one day Ford may contact you. But you would have had to produce and sold a lot of these I imagine.
