Well I thought I'd give me review so far.
After looking around like crazy, I found Auctmarts to be one of the more reasonably priced chinese fairing company and one that used some of the higher qualities in the process. Of course the negative reviews were there and yes more so than others even though they all have them. I saw what happened here to a fellow member and while that was a few years ago, it still bothered me, but I know sometimes bad things happen and have read recent better reviews and with them being under new managment I'd give them a try..
I contacted them April 9th for questions and they were pretty responsive, it was very obvious they were using a translate program and do not have an American Rep, not sure how much business they do here but might be something they should look into, even part time to just communicate as it could be relayed differently. I ordered the my set on April 11th and did go through some headaches along the way, for whatever reason China has a ton of Holidays, about 8 days into the process I didn't hear anything and when I asked the status I just kept getting "its our holiday sorry for the delay" messages.
This went on for a few weeks, I kept pressuring them to at least get a damn shipping #.
I would get these replies a couple times.
Sorry for the late reply again and if you google hk holiday and you will know today is our holiday and I already contacted the export department after I sent you the last email ! Your set was already sent out and your item will have it within few days . I am so sorry for that ! Tomorrow our shipping staff will email you the tracking number thru the email and pls wait a little moment. Also the set actually shipped out two days ago
and then tomorrow would happen with no response, so I'd wait a few days and complain again.
after about a week or so from that point. Finally on may 4th (luke I'm your father) I got the email with a tracking #, an EMS tracking # that was not able to be tracked. This went on a couple weeks and finally I was able to track it, but unlike other international shipping companies this one didn't really give me good information, actually just gave me the ship date.
I finally gave up on wanting these new fairings for my upcoming GA trip so my frustration went down some and like other things in life when you're not expecting something, that something happens. I received the fairings Monday the 22nd. So all in all about 6 weeks total, which isn't that bad I guess. Many have received theres in 3 weeks, some even sooner and the fact I ordered a canned set and nothing custom I was hoping for at least a months time, but whatever, its here.
Even though I won't be installing them any time soon, I wanted to inspect them thoroughly, ensure they look good, paint is good and parts are here.
don't mind the pictures, maybe someone wants to see so I'll post a bunch.
These were just taken quickly with my phone, before I packed the nicely back up. Honestly I have to say they look beautiful! Is it OEM quality, of course not, but they look damn close to it. Some of the pics might look like there are drips but I can promise there is none, some have a tiny bit of orange peel but not on the important parts, just some of the black and very little. Clear coat looks good, at least a few coats, stickers and placement look great.
They also said they are going to give me back 25 bucks just for being patient with them and I thanked them and think that's fair. For the most part they didn't leave me in the dark like some others when it came to communicating even though they have holidays every other week, they at least told me about them.
The only real issue at this point would be fitment and its probably more important IMO then the looks, but if they fit ok without me needing to do some crazy amount of custom drilling or cutting, I have to say auctmarts is getting their act together and building some quality shit. Time will tell as I plan on installing these in about a month.
I'll keep this updated but for now, I'm happy
