Installation Of Products

Carbonetics insists on professional installation for all products to guarantee a most optimal result. The customer understands that all products may require alterations in order for correct fitment such as Prepping, Trimming, Cutting, Sanding, Additions and any Fiberglass/Carbon Work that is needed as part of installation. Carbonetics does not guarantee OEM fitment for any parts supplied unless stated otherwise.

All fibreglass and portion carbon products will require some form of Prepping, Trimming, Cutting, Sanding, modifications to your vehicles, Additions and Painting work before installation on the car. Carbon fiber products may also require prep work depending on the part, including hoods, fenders, and bumpers, which may need adjustments such as drilling or trimming to ensure proper fitment. All products can be painted. Carbonetics is not liable and will not cover any equipment, products or costs associated with the installation of your product. Some parts of your vehicle may need to be removed to fit on certain parts, eg: front and rear bars, may require your crash bar to be removed, you may need genuine brackets or depending on your setup, fender liners may need to be cut. 

Carbonetics will not refund your order if the installation costs for the kit you purchase is too expensive, is more than you thought, the installation process is complex, requires specific tools or techniques. This is outside of the realm of Carbonetics scope.

Please note: Every individual product and vehicles is different with many factors to take into consideration such as; age, condition, warping, previous accidents/repairs, structural deviations, environmental damage, pre-existing damage, rust etc.

Therefore, adjustments to Carbonetics products and your vehicle will have to be made to cater for this. Certain products will require painting in order to match the aesthetic of the buyer's vehicle (portion carbon, carbon or fibreglass). The products will not fit like an OEM factory supplied part as we supply aftermarket parts that are handmade.

Please understand that Carbon & Fiberglass products may slightly change shape/warp in certain areas due to packaging, freight and boxing. Some products may need to sit in the sun or under heat over time to take its true form.

Defective Products

As previously mentioned, all Carbonetics products need to be professionally installed by an Automotive Bodyshop to guarantee an optimal result.

As all items are handmade, no two items will be identical. There will be inevitable imperfections, blemishes and will not fit like an OEM part/or have OEM fitment. This is part of the hand-crafted process. Not fitting like OEM/ not having OEM fitment is NOT considered to be defective. 

If there are any issues with any of Carbonetics products and you believe that it is not fit for use or may need an extensive amount of work may be needed to fit, Carbonetics should be notified immediately before any work on the product commences. Photographic and video evidence of potential defects must be documented and sent to Carbonetics for review and assessment. All products need to be returned in original condition. Meaning the products cannot be modified as we will need the item returned to us for the investigation. If the product is modified, it will automatically void the warranty we offer. If the product is modified we are unable to give you a refund as we cannot determine the original condition of the product. If we move forward with the item, will only be able to offer a store credit and no refund.

Carbonetics should be notified immediately if during the installation process any serious product or fitment issues arise (drastic modification or time are needed to make the product fit). Carbonetics will not consider a product defective after work has begun on the product. 

Once the issue is raised, adequate time will need to be given to properly assess the situation and investigate the issue. We work in a specialty market meaning each product will need to be investigated individually on a case by case basis, taking into account the uniqueness every make, series and model of vehicle and how that product fits that particular make, series and model. The time frame is 5-7 business days with standard issue. Complex or unique circumstances may require time which is not determined.

Carbonetics will not consider any product defective unless verified by a qualified and accredited automotive Bodyshop/installer. Photographic and video evidence of potential defects must be documented and sent to Carbonetics for review and assessment prior to any return’s claims being approved or alternatives being sent out. In the event of any mold issues, Carbonetics reserves the right to repair the mold, provide equivalent options, offer an upgrade, or issue a full refund, with standard ETAs applying to all options.

Unforeseen Circumstances and Unique Situations
The aftermarket parts industry is unique due to the products on offer and their intended purpose. Products are often large, but light weight. Production requires precision and accuracy in order to replace and/or adhere to the original shape in an acceptable and high quality manner. With such a large catalog of products for all vehicle models and styles/types, there may be abnormalities in regards to scheduling for production completion. 

Likewise, there will be situations where the nature of the product you have purchased will require specific instructions and equipment for shipping. This also includes circumstances that are out of our control, such as extreme weather, contractor logistical issues, industrial disputes or customs. At Carbonetics we operate using the most efficient method of delivery to and from our warehouse. Any delays or issues in this area will be communicated with you as necessary.
