Question Tyrant CF Vortex Generator

Fellow forummers,

I am interested in obtaining these for myself and fellow evo owners from my country. Was wondering if any of you out there have them fitted on your rides and would like to know the finishing of the product (cant really see from the pics provided by them) and would like to have a look from your pics that you've taken. A supplier of mine from a neighbouring country had informed me that the fitment and finishing is not as expected, and would like to hear it from you. I have a pic of it depicted from one of your ride and it looks okay though.

Please advice.





Thanks!

Unless its reflections, it looks as if that piece will yellow. You can already see spots where there is an abundance of yellow; kinda makes it look fuzzy, if you will.

imo...

I used to like the CF one, but now I want one to match my car so I might go with a colored one.

I bought one from lancershop. It didnt fit at all.. the antenna screw piece thing made the vortex gen rise off the roof and not sit flush. it would have taken some dremmeling.

there were 4-5 imperfections in that mold as well.. if you buy it from lancershop.com there is like a 30 day return policy for full refudn or something like that - I took full advantage

Those look nice. I wanted one, but didn't have the $$$ at the time so stuck with the OEM one.

A friend of our has one on his electric blue, and despite everything he tried, it just won't sit properly. The edges on the corners have a gap, you can see it even from a few feet away. He is debating on modifying it or removing it all together.
