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 !!!!!

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?

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?

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!

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.

It will be better for you to order the One piece first

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.

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
