In for a tall CF hood insert and pair of fender vents. Looking forward to see how the taller hood insert looks. Thanks

@EL Snagadore - MY (possible) SAVIOR! I've been looking for OEM replacement CF exterior door handle caps and side mirror caps. I would prefer them in a matte finish but, I could make the gloss work too... I would be HIGHLY interested in those items... possibly the hood and side vents too if they were offered in a matte finish. Just let me know, reply PM, whatever.

I have seen the plain CF appliqués. In ways they look slick. And in ways they look like there missing something. I have an idea in which they may look best. Problem is, can you legally put F-150 or Raptor at all on these without being come down on by Ford? If you gave them away for free probably not. Charging for them probably so.

As I have looked around at all the CF parts available, I have not noticed the bed or tailgate caps. These pieces may be very nice. You may have to prove the concept and make a set and try them out.

One problem I find, is CF makes for excellent accent pieces. But if you cross that line of too much on one vehicle it can look over done. This is more the case with artificial stick on CF parts.
Yes technically we wouldn't be able to sell it with the FORD, F150, or Raptor but you would have to sell an awful lot for Ford to get upset and you would probably see a C&D order before any legal action. I think the bed caps would be sharp...... may have to try that and see....

The Matte finish isnt an issue as I have a set of race fairings done in that concept. But what are the door handle caps?

SO full disclosure, I am into these for about 400 each for the complete set. That has everything included, design, mold for first set, shipping has to go to the shop in Indy and then to me. The box is too big to take on the plane when I go out there for work and back. So that's about it. I had 10 made, myself and 4 fellow raptor buddies used 5. I have 5 left. I was going to put them on ebay for 600 but on here I would sell them for 500 + shipping. It took about 45 minutes to install, most of that is removal of double sided sticky tape and residue on the hood vent. All stock hardware is retained and reused.

@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.

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