Carbon Fiber Trim Kit

I installed a carbon fiber trim kit on my ex coupe (for the interior). The kit is from exoticwooddash.com and it lloks awesome, but there was one small problem... like usual. The pieces that go over the spot where the window controls are is not an exact fit. The piece leaves a one inch gap that shows the painted silver (OEM piece). It just doesnt look right. Anybody else have this problem? I tried calling the company to have them remake it for me but the guy who "claimed" to be the manager told me that "they've been making it that way for 35 years, and if i dont like it then too bad" I responded "sorry pal, but the 7th gen coupe hasn't been out for 35 years" Anyways, in the end the problem still lies... no support from the company and a terrible fit.. any suggestions?

you could try painting over the silver part with black paint. That would make it less visable.

First call them back and tell them you will file a complaint if they don't replace your piece. If they still fail to do so Click Me and Good luck!
