Then I bought a hood from them and everything looked great otehr than the hood scoop(my current car is a subaru) bouncing up and down whenever im on the freeway due to really thin carbon that allows the hood to flex. Eventually it started fading on the hood scoop, then the rest of the hood. It looked terrible, I called them up and they asked for pictures, which I sent to them, and was never responded to. Three months of hounding them later, they finally offered to replace my hood if I paid shipping, which is silly because they have a full gaurentee against fading. Their customer service is aboslutely TERRIBLE, and I would never recomend anyone doing buisness with them.
It's not that terrible if they replaced your hood.

The price is way too low
If it makes you feel better, you can send me $5000 and I'll have ImportFan send you one

I wont say anything until it is actually on a car for a few months. Cause all the C-Wings products I've seen start out with good, with alright fitment...but after time they warp and the fitment goes to crap.

You complain about the terrible quality and fitment of your first purchase - the front bumper - AND the fact they wouldnt replace it.....yet you went back and purchased a hood too???

Yeah it was a stupid move. I figured since the hood came with a fitment and fitment gaurentee... that maybe they would honor it. Alas, I made a stupid mistake. Others should learn from me.

2x2 weave doesn't look good on the hard top.
