AutoTecknic carbon fiber warning

Not worth trying. My second attempt at ordering a CSL grille from them. Sold by IND. Not worth it. I guess you get (or don't get) what you pay for.

Happened to me too. Never again.

Good to know, though IND only carries the best of the best. I’ve seen a thread or two with defects. Surprise they have not pulled it.

That's what I thought as well. I hope they do pull it if enough people complain. I only gambled on this because I knew IND would take care of me if any issues. Sadly it's been a pain to sort this out.

Almost bought one of these from them good to know, you’d think someone would test fit or check the fitment before sending it off.

Wondering if something has changed recently. I have purchased a few large carbon AutoTecknic pieces from iND and never came across QC issues. I’ve always been impressed with the weave and fitment.

It was actually your posts that inspired me to try it! I'm wondering the same though. I only trust IND and they've treated me well on every other purchase so it is a bit disappointing but obviously not their fault. I just hope it's solved with the next grille coming. The air ducts I ordered from AutoTecknic seem to be fine but we'll see when I go to throw them on.

Well damn, sorry?

I really don’t stand behind every company, only ones I’ve been extremely happy with, and AutoTecknic is one of them. Bummer to see some of their products coming out subpar.

LOL, don't be! Nobody forced me to buy anything. I just thought I would have the same luck.

I think it will get resolved one way or another, just bummed to have to go through the receive/inspect/return cycle. As long as I get parts that fit well and look good eventually I'll be happy.

Hoping for an easy resolution!

AutoTecknic is crap. Customer support is junk man !!! Also carbon looove to deform by time by it self. You contact them and they like kids trying to find excuses.

IND should QC better their products thats for sure !
Thank you OP for the post….let the people know everything
