Hey Preacher,
I understand your frustrations but i think you should relax a bit. Its only been one day. Sent evo an email and maybe he will resolve your problem instead of flying off the handle.
You have to give people a chance. Best of luck.

Preacher,
Sorry for all the frustrations. I'll make sure you end up as a happy customer. This is the first time I got message saying the B pillars don't fit well. I can give you refund on the B pillar or replace it with a new one. They are all cut the same, since it is cut by same machine blade. When you line up do not line up with the top of the door line or the bottom line. It should be place right in between. We try to make a installation document for customers. This will make things clear. The reason I you can not PM me, is because my PM function is been disable by the admin. It will be up once I'm a spondsor of this fourm. Preacher, please let me know if your want refund or replace new one. Thanks!

Hey EVORINC I bought some and would like replacements that fit. Mine seem like they came up on the short end. They overlap on the door edges like preachers but not as much. I really do not want a refund but would like some that fit or instructions with a new set. You have a little lip at the top that fits perfectly and that is why I lined them up their even with the black line and at the bottom they came up about 4-5 mm short. Please email me at leegina@***-internet.com to get my information. Thanks

Hi,
I placed the covers at mid-way,between top and bottom,that was the closest fit I saw,and I didn't notice that the width in the middle of the covers was a tad bit wide.
(I couldn't have compensated for it anyway,the fit I got was the closest I could get,I followed the window line,not the paint.)
I fit the curve in the cf covers to the little curve in the window, which left me at midpoint....so I split the 5mm that leegina has at the bottom of his car between the top and bottom of mine.No matter how you mount them,they come up short.
I don't know what I want to do,I'm afraid if I take them off that I'm gonna' lose paint....and that doesn't appeal to me....my car has 1100 miles,no way I want to f'up the paint....
The adhesive is definately top-rate,as is the carbon fiber,btw.
Damn fast shipping,too....
(As to quality,no complaints-it's fitment that I take issue with-)
Personally,I'd rather see a tolerance (that if not perfect) leaned a mm or two then towards 'slightly under measured target width' instead of 'over',and I believe that this is the case w these b-pils.
-Imo you need to have your autocad guy modify the profile slightly to make for a cleaner install.
(Then sell off these old ones on EBay,lol!)
If you rescale,I'd definately like another pair.
(No point in installing another like pair,as the same results will occur.)
Thanks for the good service,and I apologise if I came off as too pissed,but imo you need a re-scaling before these covers are truly right (and at $100 USD,which isn't cheap,they should be 100% perfect,nothing less-and they aren't.)
This is simple autocad,not rocket science.
Tell ya what,if they don't peel off in the next 12 months because of the overlap I'll call it all good.
If they peel,or if you redesign the width to make for an cleaner install,(and you really owe it to us,RX-8 owners,your buyers;to do this,imo) then you replace 'em....
Fair enough?
Any Q's feel free to email me at gmsemple@hotmail.com

Okay,I'll hold you to that.
Perhaps a rescaled model would be a good idea,saves any future headaches....
I cleaned up some other,earlier posts I made when pissed,as well.

Still have not received an Email from EVO-R! I know it has been a couple of days but I thought he would want to resolve these quickly or at least email and update.
