OK, that explains why so many people are selling their unused Mastergrade CF door panels. I was tempted since they look nice in pics, but had a sneaky suspicion that something was wrong!

Got your PM...

$600 shipped? That's a very good price but I would be wary of quality. I couldn't tell from the photo if it had rolled edges either.

Customer service has been a real issue with Mastergrade over the past year and a half that I've dealt with them. Sounds like they solved that problem.

I would be cautious about any hood that comes with hood pins already installed. Hood pins are not only subjective in preference but if not lined up perfectly become just ANOTHER fitment issue.

If it were me..... I wouldn't get it..

you asked....so it's JMO

its best to buy a used one that someone knows for a fact it fits good. its better than taking your chances on a new replica from any manufacturer. although i have seen some nice fitting replicas, i have also seen some crap fitting ones.

like forrest gump says: its like a box of chocolates!!!

Service sucks, and they lie up the waazoo about everything. I got dicked around for months, never got my product and had to eat the paypal fees after everything was said and done. But hey, maybe they got better. NOT!

You're kidding right? What do you think she's going to say? She works for them. The also said their other products were direct fit no modifications needed. Yet everyone that they've sold, from their fenders, to the door panels, to the center console, etc have always needed modification. Listen, if you are going to ask for opinions, and people give them to you, then you decide to ignore them. Why even bother asking? Do what you want, but then don't come and complain afterwards.
