looks like canada custom is holding or something..
i do not understand why it takes this long..

RE: real carbon boots group buy - darkpuppet - 08-28-2010

Sometimes packages get held at customs a little bit.... it happens.

RE: real carbon boots group buy - konafocuswrc - 08-28-2010

it is not happening like this when coming from uk, i've ordered tons of parts from uk and everything came in 7~10days, sometimes in 5 days..

but whenever it is coming from the states, it takes 14 days at most and sometimes more.

and this package is coming from virginia, 10 hrs away.

it is all here, check all your pms.

can anybody answer this? how big is reverse lock?

i am asking because i got the shift boot and looking at it, but he decided to use button snap instead of rubber band because carbon fiber.
and opening looks a bit bigger than what i imagine..as i m auto transmission owner, haven't seen focus reverse lock..

if it is big, only option is fold over shift boot and use zip tie to secure over reverse lock, then fold it back to cover whole.
i will supply zip tie.

here is pic to show

RE: real carbon boots group buy - konafocuswrc - 09-12-2010

anybody has installed pic?
how was fitment? i am little worried about the shift boot with zip tie method.

RE: real carbon boots group buy - 02ztsian - 09-18-2010

Nobody installed them yet?
OK, I'll go first.
The biggest pain was the aluminum e-brake handle I have. I had a hard time lining up the hole I drilled under the handle to hold the handle in place.
The zip tie worked pretty good-I just folded the top of the boot under and sewed a sleeve for the zip tie.

Yes, I removed the top of the console-it's going back in today.

Now it goes well with the carbon fiber hood I just recently picked up. New in box for $280 from a speed shop that closed up shop.

Look really sharp man. I love the hood. I recently picked up one used. How is the fit on the hood? Mine is a little gappy around the edges even after adjusting the fenders in.

RE: real carbon boots group buy - 02ztsian - 09-18-2010

The gap is wider than I would like-I haven't yet adjusted the fenders so I think that I can narrow the gap.
The corners where the headlight meets the hood is low on both sides, although I think a rubber bump stop of some kind will raise it up enough to sit flush.

BTW it's a VIS stock hood.
