it is probably out of their hands, when you deal with stuff out of the country it can get held up in customs for however long they feel like it... I know the feeling of waiting for parts and a week feels like a month but be patient... I will say for $2700 that stuff better fit like a glove

I'm a little confused here. What is CFC? What kind of corvette parts are you ordering from the other side of the world? What am I missing here?

Man that's a risky move , theres no guarantee these will fit better then any of the local ones , and you will have a hell of a time getting them to rectify it all the way from Greece

This has the potential for a problem or two

I am sure there has to be a CFC dealer or distributor here somewhere in the U.S. They are a pretty big company and have seen their parts on many corvettes. And yes they seem to be the best carbon fiber parts that money can buy too.
