It definately looks like carmate. The quality of that looks rubbish.

Carmate always provide poor quality kits?

i bought those from dealler, who called Japanese sport auto at Melb.

total $1700 AUD, but Spoiler wing from another FTO car.

does the dealler wanna to cheat me or the problem from Carmate?

Help~~~~~~~~~~~~

The dealler said he will change a good quality kit for me.

hehe, im going down to carmate on saturday to pick up my spoiler

surely they cant f*** a spoiler up

does this dealer have a refund policy? i dont see anyway of that fitting unless there is some major re-fabrication involved and then again its way too much hassle

get in contact with em and see what u can do, i wouldn't bother changing the kit if thats the quality, just look for a full refund ...

oh geez another one? whats the deal with carmate, they have the worst reputation yet people still buy from there.

havnt ever had any contact with carmate but with al the complaints, do they refund? because surely if they did they would've gone under by now.

geez i feel so sorry for you bro. listen car mate are not the way to go and unfortunatly there is no refunds generraly accepted even if it is a manufactur prob. the thong is you get what yot pay for. your buying parts fresh outa china that take 2 days to make and sit in a giant warehouse for god knows how long only to dissapoint the poor guy that buys them. my advice is stay clear from them. x racing have the same style bar but thers is a good quality. and they will exchange it for you if u have probs with it and offer you an apollogy to. also try monkey warehouse who get there parts fom DMD just please stay clear of all carmate parts i know 2 many storrys of this happening

he didn't get the kit from carmate, its from a dealer in melbourne, thats definately not a carmate bar. Yeh there are bad stories about them but the quality isn't this bad

u can still atleast fit em (more times than not u will probably get massive gaps with their kits), but my brother bought most of his body kit excpet for the front for his old car from carmate and it fitted 100% perfect

so who knows maybe its just FTO's
