I believe DTM sells iCarbon. AND I know for sure that iCarbon is moving away from selling products straight through their website.

You can go to iCarbon if you want your CF products to arrive 6-12 months after you order.

JLevi on the forum here has smaller CF pieces.. Spoilers, mirror caps, diffusers, etc.

Vivid Racing is usually pretty good about answering. Have you tried PMing them on this forum? They always get back to me very quickly during business hours, and I highly recommend them. When did you email them? They are in Arizona, so they're behind you by 9 hours, and yesterday (sunday) was not a business day, and saturdays they close earlier.

DTMrack is also a good vendor. They carry iCarbon, and hopefully they can get you the products on time. I trust DTM, but not iCarbon, so i'd still be a little cautious about that

Order from a vendor on the forums. You will probably have better customer service and feedback faster...

You may want to check some of the iCarbon threads on this board, then contact your credit card company, and see what you can do about canceling. Otherwise, you may be in for a long wait, and lots of frustration.

Do not purchase directly from iCarbon, they are NO LONGER selling to customers. You need to contact one of their vendors:

DTMrack
HPF
HPautowerks.

For those smaller parts (no hood or trunk or anything, and since Vivid doesn't have stock), get in touch with J Levi Streetwerks

jlevisw.com

or just look for any of the members named "___@JLevi SW" or their general account "JLevi SW" here on the forum. i'd check out the commercial sales section and look for them there.

I do want to let you guys know that we are the premier west coast distributor for iCarbon products. Please take into consideration that most know by now that these parts are typically special ordered and do have a bit of lead time involved with producing the parts. With that being said, we do order these parts in advance and do have a stocking inventory on hand that's ready to be shipped. Here's what we have on hand for those of you who want these parts immediately and of course don't want to play the waiting game.

iCarbon CF Front Lip
iCarbon CF Rear Diffuser (single exit / quad exit)
iCarbon CF Vented Hood (single sided)
iCarbon CF Trunk (single sided)

Feel free to drop me a PM if you guys have any questions at all and I'll be more than happy to assist.

Oops, I forgot about you guys!

Along with Vivid and JLevi, I highly recommend Mod Bargains as well I'd say best three vendors on here, but I know once I do that another vendor I love but can't recall at the moment will chime in as well

I´ve emailed/PM'ed 2 vendors of this site that sell iCarbon, and apparently they are out of stock and none of them can get in touch with iCarbon nor via Email nor by the phone, vividracing included...Anyone knows whats going on??

I now see **********s has the CF front lip on stock, but, no offenses intended, I read their international shipment "agreement" and didnt really felt like doing bussines with them, again no offense intended but the tone and certain phrases make us customers feel like unwanted criminals asking for a job in a kindergarden. I've been buying from vividracing,burgertuning, etc. so easily and with none of the "rules" stated in there, nor with the tone used
http://www.**********s.com/Modbargai...l-Ordering.htm
Plus, there's no option for fedex,ups,etc...

Anyways, just a heads up for something I think you could (if you want) to improve, call it "customer pre-service".

my paypal threshold for lodging a complaint and trying to get a refund expires in a few days, wednesday i think. How reliable would you rate icarbon to be about getting my spoiler to me (eventually), when i ordered a month ago directly from the shopicarbon.com website...worth lodging a paypal complaint and seeking a refund or should i wait it out?
