First hand opinions on RW and XHP carbon fiber parts quality
I've seen threads where people say these two companies have much higher quality than eBay parts. I've seen other threads where people say they are the same parts with a mark up.
I'm looking for first hand experience from owners, especially anyone who has had a part long term. How is weave and finish? Close to M Performance or is it lower? How was fit? How has the clear coat held up long term? Year or longer has it failed has part become clowdy? |

I've got a XPH spoiler, lip, side skirts, and mirror caps. Ive had them on for over 18 months in the Houston heat.
Perfect fitment, no clear coat issues, and better pricing than RW carbon. To be honest it baffles me that people buy OEM, vorsteiner, etc carbon components when these look the exact same and cost less than half as much. |

I bought RW Carbon mirror caps recently and had a good experience. Fitment was 100%; i haven't seen them next to BMW Performance Mirror caps but I doubt I would notice the difference. Would recommend them.

Honestly go with who ever had the best customer service. If you have any issues you will be taken care of.
With that said Xph is one of our Largest stocking dealers and they are extremely communicative and easy to deal with.

Like most things, you get what you pay for. In my view, that especially applies to automotive modifications. This is not to say some vendors don't offer quality options but there is a difference. |

Fitment was good as expected but overall the part was a rip off when comparing it to how perfectly the fit and quality of the RW carbon fiber CS style lip that I got. Maybe spend money on big pieces like a hood, roof, or maybe trunk spoiler but don't throw away money on lips, side-skirts, and diffusors as the quality and fitment are nearly indistinguishable from the right vendor.

When comparing our parts to brands 2-3 times more expensive, I am confident it will either be the same quality or ours will be better. Note, our carbon sales do not even make up 5% of our revenue. We do not need to make a fortune that's why our prices are so much more aggressive than other brands.

Sounds like XPH is the the way to go. If the quality is good and the clear won't fail.
Makes way more sense than a 1000+ splitter that will likely take a hit at some point or side skirts that my wife will step on, lol. |
