Shine Auto (Disappointed??)
 

So I receive my carbon fiber pieces that I ordered from Shine Auto today and am very happy with the way the pieces turned out but kind of disappointed I ordered three pieces of carbon fiber for over $700 and received no hardware in the package. No screws, no silicone, not even double sided tape. Is this normal???

I would definitely contact them about that.

Good luck :cool:

Email already sent!!

Yes that is normal. Its the customers choice of adding the screw or 3mm tape.

Thats absolutely crazy. These parts just do not stick to the car and for the price paid I think its cheap. Like buying a piece of furniture that needs to be assembled and no hardware. I guess its my opinion but I think for the money you spend a tube of silicone and a roll of double sided tape should be included.

^^^ totally normal bro.... silicone and screws are cheap anyways.... you should be happy they make those sunline reps....because the original sunline lip kit cost about 3-4 times as much as what you paid :tup:

Its not that crazy. The body shop that is installing it should provide the materials. Each person is different when it comes to adding or supplying hardware. Call ShineAuto and ask. Just spoke to Ken the owner about it. I was curious about this also.

These came with EVO-R (FRP) Diffuser that I bought from theZStore.

Agreed, that's very BS

Finally someone that feels like I do after you spend hundreds a dollars a roll of double sided tape or a small bag of screws at the very least would have been a great gesture!!

Well, you can use this as a learning experience for future purchases. Make sure to ask what is included with the item you're purchasing.

I'm with you as well. Too much to pay to not include the cheap items.

:twocents:

It's rare for vendors to supply mounting hardware, especially if they are shipping replicas. If they do, good on them, but don't expect it.

:iagree: Every body part i've bought over the past 17yrs has been this way.

I was slightly surprised too when I got my Shine Auto rear pieces and it came with nothing...but I was expecting that which is why I had already bought 3M tape lol.

Companies like EVO-R do provide screws and tape from what I've seen

Shine Auto is a replica of Sunline, and Sunline provides all screws, tape and even brackets. So thats kinda the nature of the game.

Eh, it seems hit and miss with them. My side blades didn't come with hardware, but it just uses self-tapping screws and some 3m tape.

Honestly, if you're in to modding your exterior, this is the kind of hardware you should have hanging around the house in case you run into mounting issues down the road.

From evo-r directly you get no hardware, from other places like zstore etc, they put in the hardware so their customers are happy with them the zstore. Because if you ordered from the zstore and it came with no hardware or your unhappy in anyway your going to call the zstore not evo-r or whoever makes the product.

That would be what happened with me. Nice that the Z Store does that for their customers.

It's easier and therefore cheaper for the in between companies to just include these types of things. Rather than have to waste time on the phone with upset customers over a few bucks in parts.

My Shine auto kit came in today also. I won't see it till later tonight. I was told ahead of time by another member it comes with no hardware. For the price of the kit I could care less. There was a big chance I would of done it different and more securely which would of required more hardware.

Got my Shine and EVO pieces installed today and WOW. They look awesome. I will post pics Sunday!!

They probably don't give the hardware because if the body kits falls off the car they can't be blamed for it. I've heard of several people losing their lips, etc while on the highway. I really don't think screws and double sided tape is a good idea. Bolts and nuts is what I use.

I'm going to use double back tape with a adhesive promotor on the front section. Then nuts and bolts on the inside of the fender section with plastic washers.
