If anyone wants to earn themselves a nice shiny brand-new ban, then come into this thread and harass this vendor.

This is your only warning.

If anyone has a problem, then email or PM the vendor or contact an admin or mod.

First off thank you Sid. Well back on topic. Ive been contacting local fit owners and have been getting a pretty good response so far about coming to the shop.

I decided to create a new mold of the hatch a different way then before so that I can have a more precise placement for the bolts. Then Ill have a local person come down to pick up their garnish and see if everything works well. And then fitcapo will most likely come down to pick his up. If not Ill offer to ship it.

Creating a better mold of the entire trunk panel will allow me to easier place the studs on the garnish and if done right (which it will be) It will give me no chance of misplacing the studs since I plan on having a dead on hatch replica.

Again I want to do this asap so that I can have a few garnishes sent out this week.

Bump. Just letting you guys know Ill have all the provlems fixed in a few days. I have a fit set up to spend a night or 2 here which gives me enough time to make molds and special objects that will be able to cradle each garnish I make with drop tubes I guess you can call it, where it will let the stud go only in one place and nowhere else which will guarantee fitmet. The guys at the shop say Im going way out of my way to do this and now Im getting crazy with the steps Ive taken to actually get this done. But I say its all worth it and Im hoping once you guys see the finished panels on a few local fits then more people will gain interest Then we can go on to...

CARBON FIBER!!!! RAAAHHH!

Allright buddios. Well borrowing the fit didn't work as planned because of some complications but I'm done trying to borrow things and everything so Im pleased to announce that tomorrow I am picking up a fit hatch from a parts dealer I frequent and I will be keeping that hatch. So every garnish will be test fitted in an actual fit hatch.

Pics tomorrow! For the few of you who have been waiting for garnishes I apologize for the wait. I will be sending garnishes out with in the next few days. And to the many of you who are waiting for a finished product to see weather to buy or not. You will see! Revised Prices below...

Raw garnish (trimmed and fitted) $69.99
Finished garnish (Trimmed, fitted, primed, sealed, painted, cleared) $109.99

And for those who asked about a gold plated garnish $5,499.99 (just kidding )

So you guys know Ive tried many ways to attach the garnish to the hatch and when I said its going to work, it didn't work as well as we all wanted it to. So then whats the best way to fit the garnish on with perfect fitment? To have the actual hatch to test fit it on before attaching the bolts. So that's what I did! After spending hrs looking for one to salvage off of a totaled fit I got lucky and found one.

Im surprised it was in near perfect condition So after I got it I immediatley took it to the shop and stripped everything accept for the glass and a few small parts that wouldnt be in the way.

Then after a few min of placing it where I need it and geting the studs aligned the right way I secured the studs to the garnish, bolted them down, and came with the end results! Pictures below will show a perfect fitted garnish that had a super easy install.

Like I said the price is $69.99 and I guarantee easy install and fitment. They are now 100% ready to order, I started reproducing them again since the picture shows perfect fitment from front and back. And not only that, the 2 - 3 guys who ordered before will be getting tracking numbers with in the next week Sorry for having you guys wait so long but I wanted this to be perfect. You can see a few other companies already beat me to it but because they rushed it, they lack the quality I offer, and have even lost studs since they dont fit as well as mine. Why buy theirs and lose 2 out of the 6 studs trying to force it in when you can buy one from me that has allready been test fitted and assured fitment

Also since their somewhat long bolts, I include thread covers so that they protect the tips of the studs, and keep your hands from getting stabbed if you accdentally slip. A feature that isnt really important at all, but its one more feature thats nice to have just incase.
