Password JDM Carbon Engine Goodies

Has anyone seen this setup? Looks damn sweet. Wish I had the money to spend on it.

you know what you could do (and what i've done)...is ask for pick-up, and pick out the best one out of the lot. i have to warn you though, even their "best quality" in the selection has a good number of amateur-ish flaws on the finished product.

That is really sad. Good thing I can't afford that stuff then. I really like how it looks, a company with better skills should try their hand at it.

Haha .. Password JDM... their products offer "JDM-style" at a lower price. That is all they are selling.

Rule of thumb. If you start seeing "quality" stuff on ebay then you know there is something up with the way the parts are being made They should be strictly sold from vendors through websites and forums since those are more direct and honest to the customer with full customer support.

Yeah I was thrown off by the fact it was on ebay. I'm always sketchy bout ebay stuff. Although I have seen a lot of vendors throw up their products on ebay. Seen TWM stuff numerous times.

TWM stuff is a different story because there stuff isn't too expensive and it's probably easy to mass produce so they stock a lot. But to see carbon fiber stuff that cost $500+ on ebay, I would be cautious about it.
