Default Opinion of Evo-R CF

I'm thinking about getting an evo-r cf lip for my 08z and was wondering if $479 shipped is way to much for the quality?

Wow I guess I'll steer clear from this vendor. If a vendor does not fully satisfy its costumer base, and their integrity is in question, then why bother when other vendors offer better costumer service. Am I right?

I agree with datsunHEAD and Changvi. Let me just chime in on my experience with evo-r. I ordered the Blitz Half Carbon from evo-r on 4/16/08. When it arrived it had dimples and waves all over...plus it looked like the painter ran out of paint, very thin coat all over! 2nd one arrives on 7/5/08 and it's the WRONG COLOR! Another 2 weeks pass, and nothing from Jay. I had to constantly e-mail him to ask when the third one would be shipped. His response was that he forgot about my order and that my spoiler would be the next to be shipped. On 8/5/08 I receive my 3rd spoiler. Total time from date of order till install on my car was approximately 4 months!!!!! Fit on the 3rd spoiler was good but overall I was un-happy with the finish . Lesson learned!! So in my case...a big miss with evo-r.

Now only if Z1 performance actually had a good price on the lip I would pick it up from them. I can actually order it from intensepower.com and it's cheaper than their regular price. I was looking to stay around $600 for a cf lip for the 08 and the c-west one is a little too agressive imo. Too bad top secret doesn't make it in frp for less cuz I'd totally buy it.

Hahaha. Yeah, every purchase I've made from Evo-R has taken weeks and is marked from "Taipei."
