Default Carbon Flash front fender extensions

Does anyone have a recommendation on a reputable company offering these?? Im not sure of the proper description of these, but they replace the stock flat blk plastic inserts which run the lip on the C7 Zo6 front fenders. I made the mistake of ordering these through PFYC, not realizing the numerous negative reviews on line, and never received. I am in the process of dealing with my CC company for my credit. Terrible company!!!

I hate to go against the others here but my luck hasn't been so good with ACS. I placed an order April 11th and still to this day I can't seem to get my items. How long does it take them to get these painted??? ....and if I wanted carbon flash I'd have ordered them. Shady dealings so far... thinking of getting my money back. Glad they've enjoyed having the money for 3 months without any follow up messages.

Thank you for choosing ACSComposite, and placing your order with us! Our hydrocarbon parts currently out for paint and we expect to ship out your order within four weeks. Alternatively, if you prefer not to wait, then we have the Carbon Flash Black option in stock, which would ship out today. Otherwise, you will receive a follow-up email with tracking information to track the shipment progress of your order. No further action is required unless you would like us to make the swap to the Carbon Flash Black option.

We look forward to seeing those parts on your Corvette, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!

You all sure about ACS? I get that their pieces look great but I don't want to be like this guy where I placed my order and having nothing delivered 3 months later!
I'm trying to find a quality reputable seller of aerodynamic parts that has things in stock that can deliver fast with out any issues?

My order arrived in Dallas, TX from Canada in 2 days...via their free shipping option...

And @GenX have you emailed them asking about the parts or just sat there waiting?

I ordered Rock Guard XL for my Z06 in Hydrocarbon for each wheel. 3 of the 4 were perfect, one was missing a very small amount of the hydrocarbon paint. I emailed ACS about the problem and they have been very good about correcting the problem.

Got mine within 2-3 days.

Matches the other trim perfectly.

My guess on the delay for GenX may be their request for custom painted vs. Carbon Flash. ACS appears to keep the Carbon Flash trim pieces in stock because they are the ones more commonly ordered.

This is actually a good idea to do, is call or email them about what you want to order ahead of time prior to placing your order.
I actually wanted APR brand prior to hearing about ACS but see they have the same quality product for LESS with no installation problems.
Even seems like ACS is the only one who carry the additional XL wheel trim pieces too, if one wanted the extra added protection.

I've ordered several items from ACS over the years and they've always been great. Never had a problem with anything.

I've called them twice and emailed... just received another reply stating the parts should be to them by end of week. So, any luck I'd have them in a few weeks...still unacceptable.

It sounds like those ordering carbon flash are able to get theirs ASAP. I wanted the carbon fiber versions... not sure why it's taken 3 months. I just received an update that it may be another few weeks. So, we'll see... My problem is they've already taken the money and here I am months later with nothing to show for it. They should've had it as backordered and charged me once they shipped them. Good luck in your purchases.

I ordered 1 x XL ZR1, Z06 & Grand Sport Protection Start Up Kit - No Battery Tender / Hydro Carbon Fiber for $649.00 each. (Didn't want the CF versions as I have carbon fiber for other accessories on the car). I did state this in the original message.
