So I installed these grills and they looked great....but two weeks after, they started to "bubble up". At first I thought it wasn't real CF and that the heat from the engine had damaged them. But I think they are real CF....I think the problem is the clear coat....I DUNNO! Vcoreplus (eBay seller) says "they've never had a problem before". If I don't hear from them today I will leave very negative feedback! (Sorry had to rant.)
BTW, they look a lot worse in person than they do in these pics...

looks like real CF...overlay!
CF overlays will eventually peel and bubble like that when exposed to the elements, especially to extreme heat.

After more than 48 hours since sending the pictures and still hadn't received any response from VCore Plus I decided to leave Negative Feedback and file a dispute with Paypal.
Hopefully, I'll get my money back.
Anyway, be careful outthere guys....
