Thumbs down

Here is my rear wing, have also a lot of fitments issues, nothing fits well, the bolts, side blades totally difers in position respect the main wing, holes dispersed and not in straight line.. and have a little damage on a corner

Well I hope I can solve all with a lot of labour again..the cheap goes expensive again..

Sorry it didn't turn out as well as you'd hoped... That's the scary thing about parts like this. Carbon fiber is extremely labor-intensive, and that's often reflected in the price. Get one thing wrong and the whole part is scrapped, making production even more difficult. I was looking at getting into making carbon fiber stuff but there's no way I could commit to something so painstakingly tedious to produce!

Yes, now I understand why carbon fever can´t be cheap and hope they used good carbon fever quality and apoxy that don´t turn yellow with the sun

Anyway is done and must use it so lets see how this end

Carbon

Marcos AMV8, Did you Get a front splitter? If so, how did it fit? Im thinking about buying some sill plates, front splitter and a couple of other items. My only issue is fitment issues and return policy if it doesn't work out. I m a bit worried about buying from a Chinese company. I got screwed from a different auto supplier several years back. Zero customer service and I got stuck with the part.


Let me know,


Thanks,
Troy

Can you give us the parts numbers for :
- stiff sway bars front and rear upgraded (from the volante ?)
- floor panels front and rear too from the Volante (4.3 or 4.7 ?)

What happened to this?

Was the Rear Diffuser and Front Splitter fitment better than the deck spoiler?
Did anyone in the US order from Oya?

Just an update - I have been in contact with the manufacturer for Oya Carbon, so I will not be dealing with Oya themselves but their manufacturer

I have attached an updated AM catalog list

They will be shipping out the V Style Lip and Kamm Tail after the 25th of Feb, I will test fitment and post my results

They have stated they have reworked their Kamm Tail fitment issues and it should not be a problem, fingers crossed

If you want it to look like a V12V... buy a V12V
