[InSw1tchedFlame]

VS Celica...who;s that?

I was gonna send my stuff to topshop. They never called me back.

Hmmm who is this lady?

[evil eye]

^ That's who I sent my parts to.

1. What did you send her?

2. Pics.


The entire center console (upper with lid, AC panel, shifter with lid), power window/door lock panel, gauge cluster shroud, moonroof panel, both a-pillars, and all 4 AC vents.

I don't have pics yet, as they are in the final stages of completion. She told me they are being cleared as we speak. I'll post some pics once I receive them.

[evil eye]

Here's a pic of the AC vents she did for a member here:

the best cf wrapper? its julia...how about the best CF RAPPER? :ban2: hahaha ok that was stupid

[blitzceli]

personally if you want a really good job and a company that has TONS of experience send them to topshop. I went with julia, for a few things, to give her some business and b/c I thought her ac vents looked flawless (which is what I sent her)

Sir Wraps-a-Lot

[lilcoop_69]

:eatpop:.. subscribin!!! I wasn't aware of this.... Umm... guess i need to hang around more often.... Post pics Evil when you get your parts back...

[X-EVIL-X]

im gonna get my headlight inserts wrapped
nobody has tried this yet

[oONoGoAutoOo]

what ever you do, dont get it wrapped or dont by parts wrapped from fabrications!

[hombredelassrta]

I had my vetns done by her as well. she did a very good job on them. As for all of those haivng issues talkign with topshop (have my headlinder for 3 months and would maybe get a response to email once a month) there is a new guy doing the emails!!!!! he is great i talked to him 4 times yesterday which is probably more then i have talked to tony the last 3 months! email the info email address. u can go ont he site and then contact us. looks like i should have my headliner next week i hope!!

PS: fibercation is still semi an option but recently they have had lots of complaints. i had my jdm dash/armrest done by them awhile back and at that time the only complaint it had was the clearcoat wasnt polished, though now recent few people have had larger issues.

[Mistrimeat]

The GTS emblem on the dash looks retarded.

[SickCelica696]

[TRT_Performance]

You kiddin'! All of that for $100. That's great. Any closeup pics?

[blitzceli]

uhh no, it was 1000.. You people need to learn how to read.. get the facts BEFORE you post..

[Mistrimeat]

He knows.

Then why is it there?

[SickCelica696]

Then why is it there?

He's getting it wrapped as well I believe.

[SickCelica696]

uhh no, it was 1000.. You people need to learn how to read.. get the facts BEFORE you post..

Then she should fix her own post. Its not the surface area its the shipping


Edit: She did, it used to say 100



$1000 is ridiculous anyways, maybe 500

[Mistrimeat]

I wouldn't even pay $500...its just "wrapped" for christs sake..its not like it's a solid CF, functional, weight saving peice (the main reason people started using CF on cars in the first place).

[blitzceli]

Edit: She did, it used to say 100



$1000 is ridiculous anyways, maybe 500 I just sent her a dash for 14 bux shipped dhl.. (not to get it wrapped)So where are you getting most of the cost is from shipping? It is all labor costs and materials. A whole dash is overkill imo. Wrapped parts for accents are ok, but something that big needs to be functionable.

[hombredelassrta]

Ok to get a few facts strait.

1: The GTS emblem, I know u dont like it. Why is it still there? I like it. is it ur car?? no. Ok now that is cleared up and doesnt need ot come into question anymore :)

2: Dooly what part didnt i install?? Sometimes i loose track of stuff ;)

3: The Dash is infact 1000 to wrap. Topshop quoted 1000 a few months back but has now raised theirs to 1200. So as compared to another company that would just infact wrap it as well, then it is not unreasonable. Now do you think its crazy for people to pay that for somehting that is wrapped? Maybe, but then again does anyone care if you think the average price is unreasonable? not so much :)

4. As for topshops horrid communication in the past, it is all cleared up. There is a guy just doing communication and he is quick to respond. So feel free to order ;)

5. Global shortage of C/F. Noone is able to get ample 2x2 c/f. 1x1 doesnt seem to be as big of a problem to obtain but still is going up in price and becoming harder to find. Even the almighty topshop is unable to get enough 2x2 for a headliner (thats mine is being done in 1x1) this is also why if they or julia were to wrap say an entire dash, it would have to be in 1x1 as well. Topshop is on a long list to recieve larger supplies of 2x2 but no telling when they will get more. I was waiting 3 months for enough 2x2 for my headliner but i am tired of waiting.

[Mistrimeat]

is it ur car?? no.

:chuckles: Thank god for that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don't like it? Don't read it.

[hombredelassrta]

Dont like it then dont look at it :thumbup:

Who wrapped the gauge bezel on your car and what did they charge you?

I contacted Topshop yesterday about that and they seem somewhat confused as to what I'm talking about.

[hombredelassrta]

Yea some people call it differnt things. May want to call it a speedometer surround. That is actually the only part I didt have wrapped myself. It is 2nd hand but was wrapped by a guy on here who did a few dash kits awhile back and it hink he doenst post anymore.

As far as getting it done now there is an issue. Fibercation did 1 recently u probably saw. The complaint was he painted part black. This is becasue the carobn fiber would nto reach there w/o bunching up in other areas. It was then attempted by julia and she actually ran into the same issue. Mine is only wrapped on the outer edge. I plan to paint the inside a glossy black but for now it looks stock on the inside edge.

I had mine done through another site member, but there have been some problems with it. Its is actually made of multiple pieces of CF. He's supposed to make me a new one.

[evil eye]

I believe it was Kenny, am I right?
