My diffuser

[370Z/28]

Can you believe that I waited 8 WEEKS for this thing and then when it came in they sent the wrong thing??? They sent a carbon fiber one. The invoice says flat black, but the diffuser is c/f.



I swear...lately, I can't win for losing.

I'd be raising some stink!

[SVTCOBRA]

Yes! You should get a discount! Or, some free stuff.

[370Z/28]

Well, I've sent an email. They are in CA so I haven't gotten a reply yet. Will keep y'all posted.

If you paid for a composite one and they sent a CF one, then you got a deal. Paint the CF one.

[370Z/28]

Would the paint stick to such a slick surface? Would I have to sand it?

[biggie]

Just scuff it with a red scuff pad or 500 or so sand paper. Just don't scuff too deep and you could return it to CF if you wanted to sometime.

Thx Biggie!

I wouldn't paint the CF, since your color is gray.. I think CF looks will good with it...Except for athen blue, CF looks ugly with that blue. Who would buy athen blue car! Only idiot would do that..

I don't like it because it is shiny. I want it matte.

[biggie]

If you are open to have the CF look, then maybe look around for a flat/satin clear coat to put over it. Wouldn't want to scuff then. Would have the dry carbon fiber look.

I called the a-holes 3 hours ago and they said someone would get back with me. If I don't hear back from them, I'm gonna have David call Visa and credit our account back. Customer service is dead now.

[SVTCOBRA]

OK, so the heat is got my head thinking slower than normal....
So, you order it and was delivered to your house as opposed to some store calling....
You have CF diffuser in hand and was expecting a matte black ready to install as opposed to having to sand the CF and pay somebody to paint.
OK, I'm up to speed now!

[370Z/28]

Yes, exactly. The invoice says flat black so I know I ordered the right thing.

[370Z/28]

OK, they are back in my good graces. Having FedEx pick it up tomorrow. Said the flat black one should be in in a few weeks. Everybody complains about how long it takes to get one. I don't know why they don't just keep a few in stock!



Offered me a discount to keep this one. I really rather get what I want and what I ordered.

[SVTCOBRA]

CF to me looks unfinished....I know that most people love the look....I just keep thinking it needs to be painted. Especially the cars that have nothing CF but a hood.
BUt, then again, I am older than most here.

Having to reorder parts sucks
