Bad DGM Quality CF Glovebox Piece
- Thread starter DaViper
- Start date
I like DG's products and the support that they show the Pro community,BUT,I have seen the interior kit first hand from 2 different members cars and the Glovebox piece fit like crap.No matter how you positioned it,it would never fit right.As a matter of fact in my eyes ,the whole interior kit did not fit quite up to my standards at all.DaViper said:How about you prove the perfect fitment of the glovebox piece? I'd like to see the first pictures of one of these glovebox pieces fitting right and covering the whole area. I look forward to the pictures

This does not mean that I would not buy a DG part but I would definately buy the tried and true products that are known to fit well and I would also buy from DG so that if there was a fitment issue,they would stand behind their product and get me a fitting replacement.
I would also like to see ANY member here with a correct fitting glovebox piece picture.I am positve that we will not see one good pic that I would approve of.That piece is hard to make though as it is not a hard surfaced item to make a mold from.
Just something to think about.

if i was a betting man i would say this is a pretty damn good speciman. keep in mind of course my car is filthy and therefore so is my dash and the piece itself...although im embarressed, im not too embarressed to show these pics to show fitament. i even threw a pic in of my KICK ASS arm rest, which fit SO good, i didnt even need to use the tape because it fit like a glove.

I have similar fitment problems with my carbon fiber shift plate from them. It's off but not by much. The problem lies within the tape, get some stickier tape and there seems to be no problems. I'm not going to go crazy about millimeters of irregular fitment.

After seeing Matthew's pictures I am very surprised. I was definetily wrong about these pieces, and I apologize for acusing DGM of a quality it looks like they do have. I'm going to request my money back from the person I got this from and probably buy a new one from DGM for a little bit more than I paid for this.
Once again, I was wrong and it was just this old piece that doesn't fit well. When I get a new one I'll write a review of its fitment. Sorry for my ignorance.....

I do not offer an apology as i said nothing wrong,BUT ,I do stand corrected.
The two kits I personally saw were horribble fitting and looked just like davipers.The edges are what turned me off the most but Matthew,yours looks to fit GREAT!i am impressed.
Once again Matthew and Amie have come through to show us what they can do.
I will say that it seems that the consistincy is not seeming to be there on the older products.
I Still plan on buying parts in the future and said so in my previous post.This just re-assures me that DG has turned around for the best.

Yea that sucker wont go down. I have since got better tape and corrected it.Matthew said:
i never thought of that...especially if he glued it like me...i glued down all my pieces except my radio trim and armrest to make sure they would never come up...i could always get the parts if i needed to to replace the stock pieces i ruined with glue. i prolly would have been alright if i had taken off the armor all first (hand)mp5jeff said:
i would also use glue if need be...after all, i could care less if i ruined my stock parts, they scratch SO easily, they look like s*** anyhow.pimpprotege69 said:
the way i see it, is no mold is EVER going to be 100% perfect. there will always be SOME flaws, but i think for the most part my s*** has always fit good from DGM...of course the side strips didnt fit, but that was a miscommunication between that idiot that works with amie and myself, and they were for a mp3 or msp, and probably would have fit well on those cars.
i will say that i have seen one other kit, and it was pirana's. the fitament was pretty good IIRC but it was a bit bubbled...but i have come to see that small bubbles i have even on random places of my APC hood...i think its just a fact of life with CF...now big bubbles that are noticable are unacceptable, but tiny ones that you can barely notice if i didnt point them out are fine.
you may want to try 3m outdoor adhesive. -=) its what i use for everything.. sticky as hell and is very resistant to heat..
on a lighter note.. i did just get a part from dg.. the wrong part was shipped to me and amie quickly corrected it. when my replacement parts get here i will post pictures.
i have seen quite a change from dg.. and like it or not. i have quite a few products from them on my car. -=)
enjoy.

im an idiot i glued the piss outta everything because i thought it was just the tape...so then i went and bought that s*** you are talking about and it even fell off... i wish i would have used common sense and removed the armor all...ill prolly pay out the ass if i ever need to replace that crap that i ruined lol.mypfizzle said:
