Products & Fitment

Below are some common questions about fitment, finish, functions, and product details.

Will this fit my exact model, trim, and year (LCI/Pre-LCI, M Sport vs. base)?

We do not like giving owners a lazy "should fit" answer and then leaving them to discover the differences later.

Before fulfillment, we check the details that actually change fitment in real life, including model, year, trim, LCI or Pre-LCI version, bumper style, and other relevant equipment on the car. Two cars that sound similar on paper can still need different parts once those details are accounted for.

That is why we do not want customers relying on the product title alone. If there is anything about your setup that needs a second look, we would rather catch it before shipment than have you deal with the wrong part after it arrives.

What if I have aftermarket bumpers or prior bodywork?

That matters more than many owners expect.

A part that fits well on an untouched OEM car can behave differently once the bumper has been replaced, repaired, repainted, reshaped, or adjusted before. The issue is usually not that the product is "wrong," but that the car is no longer sitting exactly on original factory geometry.

If your car has an aftermarket bumper or prior bodywork, we would rather review that honestly up front. Clear photos and the exact product link usually tell us much more than a short yes/no question, and they help us reduce the chance of a frustrating install later.

Do I need to drill or cut?

The honest answer is: sometimes no, sometimes a little preparation is part of getting the best result.

Many of our standard parts are designed around OEM mounting logic, so a lot of installs are straightforward. But we do not want to oversimplify this into a blanket "no drilling, no cutting, ever," because real cars are not always identical. Small differences in bumper condition, prior repairs, trim tolerance, or the exact product type can change what is needed during installation.

If there is any trimming, drilling, or prep worth knowing about, we would rather make that clear before you order than let it become an unpleasant surprise during install.

How do ACC, sensors, radar, PDC, and tow-hook access affect product selection?

In most cases, this is really a "did I choose the correct version?" question.

A good example is carbon-fiber grilles: some versions are different depending on whether the car has ACC. So the key point is not to scare owners into thinking every carbon part will automatically interfere with electronics. It is to make sure the part matches the equipment on the car.

The same logic applies wherever sensor layout, radar hardware, PDC openings, camera zones, or tow-hook access matter to the design of the part. If your car has one of those features, tell us before ordering so we can check the correct version instead of letting you guess.

Do your hoods and trunk lids use OEM latch logic, and what about track use?

Yes. Our hoods and trunk lids are designed around OEM latch logic.

For normal road use, the practical question is usually simple: if the vehicle's factory latch system is healthy and the part is installed correctly, the locking logic is the same starting point owners are already used to from OEM. We do not want customers thinking a normal street-driven car should automatically be treated like a race-car project.

Track use is a different conversation. If you plan to run the car on track, at sustained high speeds, or you simply want extra peace of mind through additional securing, that is the point where it makes sense to speak with a qualified installer or motorsport professional about the right reinforcement approach for your setup.

Do you support special carbon-fiber patterns or special-color carbon-fiber requests?

These requests usually mean forged carbon, or carbon-fiber work with a special color direction or special weave / pattern requirement.

If you want this kind of finish, please send us reference images first and speak with us about the exact visual direction, product scope, and whether you are comfortable with extra lead time and premium pricing.

Once feasibility is confirmed, we will build it to our quality standard. However, not every product supports custom carbon-fiber weave or special-color requests, so these requests should be reviewed product by product before confirmation.

Why are engine-bay parts dry carbon only? What does dry carbon mean?

Dry carbon can be understood, in simple terms, as a higher-spec carbon-fiber construction method, typically associated with prepreg material and a more tightly controlled curing process.

For engine-bay products that live in a high-temperature environment, we use dry carbon because it is better suited to the long-term stability, weight control, and finish consistency required in that environment.

To help reduce the risk of yellowing over time, these parts also use a heat-resistant clear-coat approach. The point here is not just whether the part looks like carbon fiber. It is how the part behaves over time in a higher-heat operating environment.

How do you control surface flatness and overall finish quality?

This depends on process control at every stage.

A premium result depends on clean carbon layup without bubbles, quality checks throughout production, careful sanding work, and clear coat quality. That is how you get a surface that looks flat, clear, free of haze, and free of obvious orange peel once the part is on the car.

Can I add insect mesh or protective film before shipping?

For some products, yes.

On front-end parts such as grilles and intake openings, insect mesh can be added in some cases. On hoods and trunk lids, pre-applied protective film can also be discussed before shipment. Availability depends on the exact product and preparation scope, so please confirm it with us before ordering.

Can I keep the airbag and electronics on a custom steering wheel?

That depends on the exact steering wheel, vehicle, and equipment configuration.

Please do not assume universal retention of the airbag, buttons, heating, paddle shifters, vibration module, or other electronics across every setup. If those functions matter for your build, please confirm the exact product and vehicle details with us before ordering.

How do I confirm fitment and compatibility for N Zero wheels?

Wheel fitment should be confirmed by exact vehicle setup, not by model name alone.

The key checks usually include chassis, brake setup, wheel size, width, offset, tire plan, ride height, and whether the car is running spacers or other suspension changes. If you want to confirm N Zero wheel fitment, please send us your exact vehicle details and the wheel spec you are considering before ordering.

Does quantity 1 mean one part or one pair?

That depends on the exact product listing.

For some products, quantity 1 means one piece. For others, it means one set or one pair. On the Audi RS6 GT bucket seat listing, quantity 1 refers to one pair of front seats. If you want to confirm the quantity on a specific product, please send us the exact link before ordering.

What is the difference between direct fit and retrofit?

Direct fit means the product is intended for that application as listed.

Retrofit means adapting a part, seat, or component to a different setup outside its standard listed application. That can involve custom work, hardware changes, coding, or installer dependent modifications. If your project is a retrofit rather than a direct fit application, please confirm the exact scope with us before ordering.

Can heating, ventilation, or other comfort functions be retained?

That depends on the exact product, vehicle, and configuration.

Please do not treat retained heating, ventilation, memory, or other comfort functions as automatic across every setup. On some listings, optional paid modules may be available, installer coding or programming may be required, and ventilation may require perforated leather. Please confirm the exact product and vehicle details with us before ordering.

What is the difference between Color Wrap (Vinyl Wrap Finish), exposed carbon, and painted finish?

Color Wrap (Vinyl Wrap Finish) means a color-change vinyl wrap applied over the finished surface of the completed carbon-fiber part. It is not paint, and it should not be treated as the same thing as a painted finish.

If you choose the Color Wrap / Vinyl Wrap Finish option, we need the exact brand and color code before we confirm the job.

It is also important to explain up front that even with an exact color code, slight visual variation can still exist because of film batch differences, the underlying finished carbon-fiber surface, lighting conditions, and the way the wrapped part is being compared against nearby painted panels or other parts.

Exposed carbon means the carbon-fiber weave remains visible after the surface treatment is completed, usually under a gloss clear-coat or matte surface treatment. Painted finish is the color-paint option. For painted finishes, we only accept confirmed OEM paint codes and follow OEM-style refinish steps using the Glasurit paint system.

Even when the correct OEM paint code is used, it should not be understood as a guarantee of zero color difference. Different factories, different production batches, and the age of the vehicle can all affect how a final painted color appears. If you are highly sensitive to color matching, or you have access to a reliable local paint shop, local painting is usually the safer recommendation. We can also provide a paint-prepared surface option for customers who want the part finished locally.

What painted-finish styles do you offer?

Depending on the product, painted-finish requests can include full-color paint, gradient paint, or painted layouts that intentionally leave part of the carbon-fiber weave exposed.

If you want one of these painted-finish routes, please contact us first. On some carbon-fiber parts, a painted-finish option may still leave certain carbon areas exposed by default because of the product shape and finish layout. We will confirm the exact painted-finish layout with you after you place the order instead of treating one layout as automatic across every product.

Can you match my OEM stitch color or interior details exactly?

For standard stitch colors used on more common base-model interiors, we already have more matching experience.

However, on special models, limited-production models, or interiors tied to more unusual supplier variations, slight differences can still appear in the final stitch look.

We do not promise a 100 percent identical match, because we do not have a stable channel for every exact OEM special stitch source. Within a realistic production range, we aim to get the result extremely close — closer to a 99 percent visual match than a 100 percent factory-identical guarantee.

If you are extremely sensitive to this kind of difference, or you want the most OEM-correct path possible, you can also contact us about an OEM leather-cover option. At the moment, that path is only available for the RS6 GT OEM leather cover.

If I replace one piece later, will the carbon look match exactly?

We aim for a consistent finished look, but exact visual matching should not be treated as automatic.

Carbon tone, weave presentation, gloss level, lighting conditions, the age of the existing part, and the condition of surrounding parts can all affect how a replacement piece looks once it sits next to older parts.

If visual matching matters to you, please confirm the exact product generation and send us photos of the existing parts before ordering. That gives a much more realistic basis for review than a simple yes-or-no expectation about whether it will look identical.

Orders & Purchase

Below are some common questions about ordering, payment, packaging, and purchase details.

What is included in the box, and will I need extra hardware or tape?

Box contents depend on the exact product.

Some products include product specific hardware, while others may reuse OEM hardware or still require installer supplied items such as tape, adhesive, clips, or other consumables. Please check the exact product page or confirm with us before ordering if you need to know the included contents in advance.

Why do some product names reference vehicle brands or model names?

Those names are used to identify compatibility, style reference, or intended application.

Vehicle brand names and model names remain the property of their respective owners. Their use in product naming does not mean formal affiliation or endorsement unless that is specifically stated.

What payment methods do you accept? Is payment secure? Under which law do you operate?

We support the payment methods shown at checkout and process payments over encrypted channels.

For supported countries and regions, checkout can display and process orders in the local currency shown in the country or region selector. Our Terms state that they are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rights in your place of residence. Please refer to the checkout page and our Terms & Conditions for the current payment and legal details.

Why do you ask for the exact product link before confirming fitment or shipping?

Because many questions cannot be answered accurately from vehicle information or category names alone.

Small differences in product version, finish, options, or listing scope can change the correct answer on fitment, shipping path, quantity, or included features. Sending the exact product link helps us confirm the right answer instead of guessing from a similar product family.

Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?

Please contact us as soon as possible.

Changes are easiest early in the process. For made to order items or orders that are already in processing, cancellation or major changes may involve material, production, handling, payment processing, or shipping related costs. Once a shipment is already in transit, rerouting or cancellation may no longer be possible.

Which warehouse will my order ship from?

That depends on the exact product, destination, and current fulfillment arrangement.

Please do not assume that the same warehouse path applies across all products or all countries. If warehouse location matters for your order, please confirm the exact product and destination with us before ordering.

Are customs and duties handled? Any extra steps for me?

For most destinations, we coordinate customs clearance through our logistics partners.

In normal cases, customers do not need to arrange brokerage themselves. If local customs, the carrier, or destination authorities require documents, confirmation, duties, taxes, or another local step from the consignee, we will contact you. If a product page includes a specific shipping or destination note, that product page rule takes priority.

What happens if my item arrives damaged?

Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Send us your order number together with clear photos or video of the outer packaging, inner packaging, shipping label, and damaged part. Please keep all packaging materials until we confirm the next step. An unboxing video or first-open photos can help speed up review.

What if shipment is delayed because a part does not pass final quality control?

If a part does not pass final quality control before shipment, we will notify you before dispatch.

We will then arrange the appropriate corrective action, such as replacement, remake, or re-preparation depending on the issue. This can extend the timeline, but it helps prevent substandard parts from being shipped just to meet an earlier target.

Why isn't there a fixed lead time on the page?

Because lead time depends on the exact part, finish, options, production load, final quality control, packing, and shipping method.

General shipping ranges describe transit after dispatch. They do not automatically include production time or product specific preparation. If you need a tighter timeline, please contact us before ordering so we can check the current path for your exact configuration.
