Default C4S ss Sills for $200

I just recieved my FVD stainless sills supposedly made by the OEM manufacturer which cost $200 shipped. The top picture is the FVD sills, the bottom ones are from Viken's car, which I assume to be factory.







What do you think? I think I'm sending them back - not as advertised. I guess that guy that paid $500 for the real thing didn't do too badly.

I think I like the bottom ones better.. It matches the logo on the back of the car too.

What's wrong with "Carrera 4's" Hee heee hhee.

Maybe that's how they get around the copywrite law. IT definitely does not say C4S but rather Ceeefours.

I'd send them back too. Not bad but the bottom ones are much cooler.

I'm the guy that paid $565 for them (to add more weight to the car). They do look better than the FVD type.

Send it back, it doesn't even look close to OEM.

I agree with all the other posts. Looks like they had sills for a C4 and added the "S" to the end. *shrug*

$200 is a lot for something you're not totally happy with.
