The picture of the backside of the part shows you that this is TrueMold carbon fiber and not a Wet-Layup over fiberglass ..
If it was a Wet-Layup you would see chopped fiberglass, smooth fiberglass, or just plastic
I have seen a couple of RX-8 covers out there that are the original plastic piece covered in Carbon fiber !!! YUCK !!!
Unlike some others sold on market, this IPT product is TrueMold carbon fiber. It contains thermoset resin so it will hold up to heat and will not yellow.
THERE IS NO CLEARCOAT ON THIS PART
Also : Guys Please Remember this part is a Replacement piece
It DOES NOT COVER YOUE ORIGIANL COVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take off the old and replace with the new !!!!!

did you ever have thoughts on making a cover for the cheap gray plastic on our rear bumpers?
or a cover for the bottom lip on the mazdaspeed sideskirts...
;)
OBryanRX8 03-15-2004, 09:09 PM that would be cool

blksf8 03-15-2004, 11:43 PM hi Parker,
can you please attach pics w/ the cover over the stock strut tower brace and over the MS strut tower brace? I am looking to see that it fits w/ both braces and would also like to see what the MS carbon fiber and your carbon fiber look like right next to each other.
Also, does this new cover fit over the MS japanese 4 point strut tower brace?
XDEEDUBBX 03-16-2004, 01:27 AM okay i have question or maybe even a request...can you mold the stock front appearance package lip in carbon fiber as well?? just a thought...
the rear bumber "diffuser" could be done justice by you, a genius with the fiber!!!!! maybe where the fake screen is you could have real screen??? just a thought?
Guys and Gals all questions about other parts Please post in my Forum I dont want to get this off topic This is about the RX-* Engine cover Only

Omicron 03-16-2004, 01:17 PM Wow. I'm not even generally that big of a fan of Carbon Fiber - I think of it as more of a fashion thing that, like bell bottoms pants or punk rock (to cover several generations) will be out of style soon - but I gotta say, that cover is freakin GEORGEOUS! Well done, Parker!
boarder 03-16-2004, 03:04 PM It looks dam nice. But ... how much will the other components approx cost ? I wouldnt want to buy just this and have my engine covers be mismatched, would I ? A car fashion faux paux! Don't want to find out the other two small ones are 500 a pop.

They will be way Cheap !!!! Not even close to 500.00 Or 200.00
I will be selling them as a package
the will be very cheap
Trust Me
Parker
blksf8 03-16-2004, 03:51 PM can you let us know what the package deals will be? Maybe the package deals will be better for some of us instead of the pre-buy.
It will be better for you to order the One piece first
The guys and girls that order this engine cover first will get a better deal
That is a fact

Omicron 03-16-2004, 06:31 PM Ok, ok.... I broke down and ordered one of these. :D Will let you all know my impressions when I get it.
shawrf1 03-17-2004, 05:10 AM Very tempting! Quality looks incredible... I just have to check the stock cover's compatilibility with an aftermarket strut tower bar before I can order!

cosmos 03-17-2004, 05:59 AM Waow, looks pretty nice! Well done!

Huff, you are not the only one. I have PMed Parker quite a few times in the past few days to no avail. I have asked him questions on his threads and no answer as well.

Parker
colin204 03-27-2004, 09:01 PM Will you please let us know as soon as they get mailed out. Beginning of the week would be nice with tracking numbers.
Spin9k 04-02-2004, 03:20 PM Anyone heard anything futher about preorder ship dates?
I called IPT yesterday and only got an answering machine. Left a message asking what was happening w/orders?
No reply so far.
Are you there Parker? :(
JSE RX-8 04-02-2004, 04:53 PM Parker, when are the other covers coming out as well?? please PM me

demmis 04-03-2004, 07:28 PM can i get one here in Greece?
Preacher 04-05-2004, 05:25 PM Parker just PM'd me and told me today was the last day of the pre-buy offer.
I bought one through his site and PM'd him to find out which shipper he used.
The vendors I've bought from in this forum are FAST.
Trussville and Rotary Extreme had my parts to me so quick I didn't have time to wonder were they were-and I'd expect the same will happen again.
Pics after install,a lot's been done to my 8 in the past week,she comes back from the dealership tomorrow....
Footnote:
I also called and left a message,noting this thread and my nic,
requesting deliv date and shipping carrier....
Spin9k 04-06-2004, 03:29 PM I have an order placed 3/21, I've emailed and called IPT asking for status and ship date.
No response whatsoever. :mad: I don't call that good customer service. I'm not liking this purchase.
Preacher 04-06-2004, 03:42 PM I have had great experiences with vendors here so far,but if there was ever to be a problem,well,that's why I use a credit card,if I don't get what I paid for,I don't get charged,and the vendor doesn't get paid,either.
"Consumer self-protection" should ALWAYS be the caveat,
and using a cc essentially ensures you're protected--that's why I use one,myself.
Anyhow,I thought Parker communicated quickly enough through PM,but I left a message yesterday with the same questions as yours,Spin9,as well.......with no call-back as of yet.
I hope (and expect) that his next post will be "they've all shipped" and then we'll all be well-informed and happy,and soon flooding the forum w cool new pics.
blksf8 04-06-2004, 03:48 PM that's what I've been trying to tell everyone. I work for Visa and know that major CC companies have chargeback rights just in case you don't get your merchandise or it comes not as described. You can get your $$ back, no liability. If you guys use something like Pay Pal and a merchant stiffs you, then you are hosed.
As far as Parker and IPT are concerned, after numerous PMs, calls, and e-mails IMHO I believe that he is legit and will send out the orders soon. I am thinking that he is just swamped with all the demand for his product. my $.02

There,no need for hysteria JUST yet. :)
MY Complaint Department and Repo Girl:
Spin9k 04-08-2004, 03:15 PM I emailed Parker this afternoon again and got an immediate response. Mine shipping 4/14. NOW I'm excited finally! :)
Landon_Starr 04-09-2004, 05:55 PM Wow. I wanted one, but the customer service seems questionable. I was getting nervous FOR you guys...If only it didn't look SOOO damn good.....:)
--Landon
Preacher 04-09-2004, 08:42 PM I'll have mine shortly,I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.
Parker called me,he's been busy,apparantly we just have too much free time to worry,lol!
It's all good,imo.
