Default Got my fairing set in the mail. Pics inside.

First impression of the box was scary, top looked smashed (i have pics of the box). And i was shocked it only came in one box. So i started taking everything out and it was bubble wrapped pretty heavily. No cracks in the fairings at all, although the tank cover did have a scratch in it (about the size of a pinhead but it was down to the plastic). I'm going to see if they will send me some touch up paint or at least refund some of the shipping charges. As i had stated before communication by auctmarts has been excellent so far.




Quality of actual plastic-(9 out of 10) seems to be very good quality, very similar to the original equiptment, very sturdy yet slightly pliable as well.

Fitment-(so far 9 out of 10 but i will let you know how i feel after all plastics are on) I only tried putting the tank cover on, but all the holes matched up. So far so good.

Paint Quality- (8 out of 10) Overall paint quality is good. Some solvent pop in the bottom plastics however these are the pieces that you will see the least. Decals were applied perfectly and clearcoat looks very good overall.



And finally some pics. Should have them all on wednesday.
