Default EOS Diffuser Fins (4) in Carbon Flash

I am selling a set of EOS diffuser fins (4 fins in total). They have not been installed and are brand new, with the exception that I painted them carbon flash. Prep included light sanding, 2 coats of adhesion promoter, 3 coats of fillable primer, wet sanding, 4 coats of carbon flash, and 3 coats of gloss clear coat. All of the paint product I used is from AutomotiveTouchUp. Selling for $220. Unpainted fins from EOS are $152.69 and painted are $319.99, plus tax.

Would you have better images of the fins in close up? The image you posted makes the fins look all pebbly which makes them look nothing like the carbon flash I have on my C7.

Pebbly because not enough clear coat - maybe corrected by a wet sand and buff - or wet sand and put heavy wet coat on them - would be interested but not hearing good things about the fit unfortunately

Did you actually test fit them or are you just going by what you're hearing? I just did mine over the weekend and they were a perfectly flush fit.

I'm seeing a gap in your pic next to your thumb not sure if its a reflection - if you could take a pic of each one in area they belong to see if there is any gaps

I see there is a gap because you were just showing color of them as they are way to high - if you can take 4 pics of each one from side in area where they are suppose to be that would be great

Just being transparent about what I have seen and heard relative to EOS Fins. That said, when I sold my ACS fins a few months ago, two of the people that PM'd me had bought EOS fins and weren't happy with fitment and one bought my used ACS Fins and listed his EOS ones for sale. Others have not had fitment issues so I guess its hit and miss on quality with EOS.

Default Fins

Let me get this straight.Your selling used fins that clearly need to be painted again for $220.00 when I can buy unpainted fins brand new for $150.00.Apparently you should be selling your used fins for like 120.00 because they are used and the pain in the *** of re_sanding them and painting them all over.I think I'd rather just buy new fins instead .

You can get these for $138 if you ask for a discount through their eBay store. That's what I did then I paid my Chevy dealer $100 to paint them in carbon flash. It's a perfect match and the paint work is warrantied.
