Where is iCarbon?

So did they just close up shop and leave everyone with their problems SOL? I'd like to get a hold of them and have them honor their warrantee on their parts since my cf trunk now has 4 big hazy spots (I ordered through them directly).

Their website is down.

They aren't answering their phones.

I heard they are "moving to another location"?

Did you order from them directly or did you go through a distributor?

KC man...not sure how much luck you'll have as nobody has gotten responses from them in months. May be best to just get it painted like we talked about

Yeah, that seems to be the solution here. I know I'd like it painted as well, it'll just be a little harder to sell it painted in the future when I move on. I actually think it'll look really nice painted, as white shows off curves and shapes really well.

Just thought I'd take a stab in the dark and hope they still existed. But yeah, most likely, they took their profits and ran, only to re-open again later with a different name and do it all over again.

Sorry if this is a re-post. Maybe we can at least get everyone's collective knowledge pooled together here so we may have a final answer on their wherabouts. The answer however, seems to be pretty clear atm.

I was telling Honda, that my hood was the single best mod that I have ever invested in. Unfortunate that the buying exp. was AWFUL..

It's obviously no secret that we've had problem with our response times. This is due mainly to the fact that the demand for our products skyrocketed and we were severely understaffed to meet the demand. Both in production, and customer service.

We know it is much to ask at this point, but we insist you be patient. There are little to no pending orders to any single customer, so we aren't actually holding on to anyone's money. We have phased out of selling retail and are concentrating hard on playing catchup. This is the reason shopicarbon.com doesn't exist anymore.

Until we are at a place where we are back in neutral, both in orders and in customer communication, we will not be selling or manufacturing any more pieces. We hope this to come sooner than later as it is in our best interest.

Opposed to what is being implied or said in this thread, we share no affiliation with STARCK PERFORMANCE.

We offer only our sincerest apologies for delayed responses to emails and such. We are working hard so that we may continue to offer products you will love.

Sincerely,

iCarbon Design
Thanks guys!!!!

Can't wait to see what comes

I was promised so many times that an M3 hood was kept aside for me and I was guaranteed the group buy price then you decided to ignore my 20+ emails over the next few months?

I've kept our entire emails transcripts, I will post the entire discussion in a separate thread when I get time

Thanks iCarbon!!
