But these covers are much better then the password:jdm covers due to the fact that you can open/close the covers. That was something I def wanted with i talked to him about these pieces. With the JDM covers, you have to remove the whole thing.

That was something that made me hold off on them as well.

Just out of curiosity, were these solid CF pieces, or did you send them your stock pieces and they put CF over them?

Are these just carbon fiber wrapped around OEM pieces?
Also, the Password JDM pieces have 3 quick clips (battery/fluid covers) which take 5 seconds to take off, not much of an issue and I know since I have taken mine off a lot.

Carbon Fiber Element does some really good work I must say, they they look really sweet!

Stock pieces that are wrapped in real CF, but the stock pieces are sanded down & laid with the real CF so they are the closest thing you could get to a total cf piece. Plus since they are oem, you don't have to worry about fitment issues that are known with the PW:JDM radiator cover.

Ok, cool. Last question would be I have the hood dampeners installed, I'm worried if I tried to install them with these possibly cracking the resin coat around the front mount where the eye bolt for the damper sits. Unless I got some rubber washers for it... that would work I guess.

CFE, if you're reading this thread still... GROUP BUY!

Hi…Does the heat in the engine turned the clear coat yellow.
Is that the case with yours? Have you experienced any of the yellowing? Thanks love to know
Thanks

Ill be honest, these are probably a couple pieces that will be a while before we do a group buy on, if ever. They were a total paain in the @ss to do. Not the doors, but the outer part was tough. We also managed to keep all the rubber weather stripping and foam padding so everything works and seals as oem as possible. But as far as a GB, maaybe, we'll see.

Wow, those just look so sick! So much better than the PW:JDM IMO!

Thanks for the assist on those pics billet

I just bought an SLR camera, tomorrow I'll be taking a **** load of pics, I'll be sure to take better pics while I'm out. But nothing can capture how beautiful these pieces look in person.
