Thumbs up Are C-wings products quality peices?

I'm looking at getting their Carbon Fibre top and was just curious if anyone had used their products before? Are you happy with them?

Kind of what I'm worried about, trying to get a marginal product in under the radar of a reputable company?

I've hard of C-wings. I had one of their trunks. I know of a few people with their hoods, hardtops, trunks as well.

There quality is about the same as Seibon (most likely made from the same place, just re badged). In the past, c-wings stuff fade in the sun...but I've also heard of Seibon's and even VIS clouding up and fading overtime.

So all in all, their quality is about the same as Seibon and comparable to VIS. But from my experience with C-wings, their products were crap, faded overtime and warped in the sun (but this was like 1-2 years ago, I was told by a vendor their quality is better now). I've seen Siebon and C-wings products up close and they look the same.
