not sure how savvy you are, but you could do what I do; build your own. Buy raw carbon fiber (there are a multitude of websites that sell it in many qualities) and make molds from original piece. (headlight covers should be cake)

I bought the ones off ebay and they were diecent pieces but the fitment was for caca. had to make my own tabs and gring part of the substructure and then epoxy the cover to it...

I would say just take the stock pieces and wrap them in carbon squigi in the resin and wet sand.

you could always just buy some pre made carbon fibre sheets and just cut them to fit and stick them on somehow...

Did the ebay covers go over your stock covers or did they completely replace your stock covers?

Junpower has been working on them for a while . He was all about making them but most of the people here were interested in high quality, at almost free price. He wanted to make a good product but for the price ppl wanted he would have had to make a shitty product. I know he's making them for FD ppl as they ask/give him a deposit but the FC people were too cheap.

Act quickly, JDM_FC....you've got 6 days (or less).

(Just a side note to anyone else who might want these, don't be a jerk Jdm asked first, at least give him a few days to claim them.....If he doesn't get them within a few days then go for it)
