My Auctmarts Corona fairing review

After having my fairings about a week or so now, I figured its time for a good review. 1. Actual Order and Transaction: 9/10 I found the sponsor on these forums and decided to check out their website. When I got on there, they had a few broken links and nothing shown for the 06-07 gsxr 600. I decided to check out their Ebay auction, where there were plenty of different paint schemes. I added them on MSN and the order was placed. He was always online and the ordering process went very easy. 2.Shipping: 10/10It took approximately 2.5 weeks from the time I ordered and when it got to my door. I pushed him for faster shipping because I had already sold all my fairings and was not able to ride. I heard of others taking around a month to get them, but I was lucky enough to get mine in under 3 weeks! 3.Packaging: 8/10 Packaging was done very well EXCEPT for one piece. My left air duct was cracked in half. I contacted Ken@auctmarts about this and he offered to send me another piece without hassle. I was surprised to find that I had a free windshield and Progrip tank pad also! I did not request these when I ordered, so that was very nice! 4.Paint: 9/10 The paint job looked very nice. All stickers and graphics were clearcoated over. I could not find any runs or dirt in the paint. The only thing I did notice was a few of the lines/curves werent as smooth as I had wanted. I am pretty anal about these types of things and I'm sure it wont bother others. 5.Fitment: 9/10 It took 2 of us about 1.5 hours from beginning to end to install. I reused the heatshields off of my old oem plastics and they fit right up. The tabs look and fit just like OEM. I ran into a bit of fitment issues with the tail section. The holes had to be opened up a tad for the fasteners to fit. This was because the paint had gotten into the holes and needed to be wallowed(sp?) a bit for them to fit. I reused my stock black undertail because I did not like the colored undertail that came with it, which lined up without issues. The side fairings fit a little tight, but well. The front and tank fairings installed without issue. The pictures show some minor gaps in the front, but i think this is because my headlight is missing tabs =(. 6Conclusion: As you have probably concluded, I am VERY happy with my new plastics. Ive had nothing but compliments on the fitment and price I paid ($589shipped). I highly recommend them for anyone looking for new plastics. Ask for Ken. The pictures are below and I will be happy to answer any questions! Enjoy! http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7614.jpg http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7616.jpg http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7617.jpg the broken left air duct http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7619-1.jpg http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7620-1.jpg my turd =P http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7621.jpg http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7622.jpg http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7625.jpg

very nice. Glad everything fit and no major moding was needed. I posted about a week ago that my buddy high sided and was going to buy a set from the same guy you bought yours from. This will be encouriging for him. Always like the look of the all star edition. What are you going to do about your tank. Paint it yellow?

yea, i was gonna get it colormatched then probably put some black stompgrip to break up the color a bit. I think an all yellow tank will be a bit too much.

Its good to see they fit so well, Id like to get some white ones if nothing else get some and paint them. Is there a gap on the rear seat cowel?

was looking at your pics again and noticed the nose fairing looks like it has a piece cracked off on the (pictures) left side? and also what happened to your headlight that your missing the "dim" part of it?

And yea... I made the mistake of "blacking out" my headlight and I had no light output. I tried to salvage some light by take off the shroud. Lesson learned. I need a new headlight!

i ordered a new set of fairings from auctmarts a couple days ago, this review is very encouraging for me. im curious thou, did u order the airducts separately? i didnt notice if i was getting those with my set or not.

ordered the set for my 01 600. i may just be anxious, but seems like the emails between me and them are several days apart for a response.

nice :thumbup:

Looks Good dude! How about the thickness of the plastics? Do they feel as thick as OEM? or are they more brittle? I am looking for a new set myself due to a high side this weekend.

Where do I place my order? http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq97/tpham86/project%20gixxer/IMG_7625.jpg i get it... and i second that:lol:

I didnt see that he had anything for 05/06 1000's? Am I not looking in the right place?

what does it cost for the whole bike to be redone like that? like tax shipping all that bs. and is it fairly ez to do yourself? i dont know shiooot yet.. but im wondering if i pick up a bike that has some plastic damage is it worth it to just buy new ones....??

its fairly easy. im not sayin i know everything but i know a few things and i did it myself in my garage in like 4 hours. but i had every piece off and the whole front end so it took a little longer than im sure just changing a few pieces out.

that's a sweet ass setup man!!!! sht looks goooooood!!!:thumbup:

Looks good man, I was thinking of getting a set from them for mine.
