Wow, those turned out great!

What company did you use for the work? About how much does something like this cost?

The company is called Wheel Repair Solutions in Carrollton (Dallas suburb) and I used to work for them so I got a discounted price but it would typically be $125-$150 per wheel depending on the finish. They do awesome work though.

As i promised and as well sorry it took longer than normal to have the rear toms replica installed. I would say the fitment is 8.5/10 small gaps on the tail pipes section. And definitely need a helping hand to get it to fit. But then again its a replica and even known makers never fit 100% all the time.

Doesn't look bad to me. Especially since numerous people have said the original doesn't fit all that great anyway. Which store did you buy it from?

got it from a friend from Dominican Republic, a few have said they found his work not to be all that great in fitment. But to me it wasnt all that hard to install. Sure its not snug to the fit but 85% of the carbon fiber parts sold out there need slight to major modification to fit. I got it for under 450$ shipped to my door. He's a Ebay seller for all his carbon fiber parts.

yeah i hear you bro, i would have the same issues with Seibon, and other carbon fiber part makers. Consumer think because known name brand auto parts makers sell carbon fiber parts they all fit the same. I would say 85% of carbon fiber parts i have bought in the past and present had all needed a bit of work to make it fit. Wether 10$ or 1000$+

you can have the body shop epoxy the diffuser so if they try to steal it, they have to take your bumper with it hahaha
