evo8.com troubles...
So, I'm supposed to be Evo8.com's west coast representative. They're working on a graphics package for me now.
I ordered a C-west full body kit, CF hood, trunk, and ganador mirrors.
Hood and body have arrived, trunk and mirrors have not. Order was placed about a month ago.
I finally got some time yesterday to remove my body panels and fit the C-west kit, and the fitment is COMPLETELY wrong. The rear bumper looks like it may work, but the front bumper is WAY off. There are about 1" gaps on the inside of both headlights, and the kit doesn't reach all the way to the fenders. Completely unusable!
So I've emailed evo8.com and left 4 phone messages, and havn't heard ANYTHING back.
Evo8, I know you're a member on these boards, so if you come accross this PLEASE CALL ME BACK!

Ouch. Sorry to hear that .
Same thing happend to me with my 2001 Eclipse, I ordered a 8 piece Shine Street Body Kit from PJ Automotive and it fit like ***. I emailed the guy like 10 times but nothing ever became of it.........Never got to put my Fender flares on.
Good luck

The thing is, up until now I've had awesome service with them. I expected the delays on my packages because one warehouse was out, then the end of the track season, and then SEMA...they're busy! But right now I have almost $1000 of body kit that I can't use...then repackaging and shipping it back will cost a couple hundred, cause it's freight, I don't have boxes big enough....huge headache for me.
And right now, my car is missing front/rear bumpers and sideskirts...can't even drive it!

The thing is thought that the fiberglass doesn't reach the wheel wells all the way. It comes close, but there's about a half inch on both sides where it doesn't line up. I actually took pics today, hang on a sec, I'll uplaod 'em.
