MHC, XXI, Autotechnic, alibaba carbon fiber?
If I am not buying OEM carbon fiber, which brand should I buy? Because they all look the same to me. Are they all the same shit from china with a different name? Id like to get vents, mirrors, spoiler and diffuser ASAP. I just dont know what brand to buy.
Thoughts, experiences or suggestions welcome!

I'm very happy with the MHC CF front and rear spoiler that I got from R44. Really fast shipping and the quality is great. I think the MHC parts appear to be manufactured in the UK.
I ordered the full CF mirror covers from XXII, but haven't received them yet. I got an email from them on Friday stating that they had a fitment issue with the drivers side so they're remaking that one. It feels positive that they didn't just ship me something that they knew I was going to have an issue with. Others on the forum have had a positive experience them as well which is why I gave them a shot on the mirror covers. I'll report back once I get them. I have the Autotechnic front mud flaps and front seat headrest covers that I got from IND. The passenger seat cover has a very small imperfection that I just decided to live with. Most people won't see it and I'm never in the back seat. I also just ordered the OEM CF side badges from Schmiedmann for roughly $400 less than I could get anywhere else. They haven't shipped yet either.

I'd ordered and received the R44 rear spoiler a month or so before my car got delivered. I considered XXII when I was shopping for the front spoiler and rear diffusor (I forgot I have that, too - lol), but ultimately decided to stay with R44 so they'd all match. Especially the rear diffusor and spoiler since they're so close together. The mirror caps are just so expensive OEM so I've really been holding off on those until I could find a full carbon fiber version from a 3rd party at a reasonable price. I was able to order them from XXII for $414 shipped so, while not an insignificant amount, they weren't $1200 and I figured it was worth the chance. Others appear to have had good experience with them. HTH

There are generally a few quality levels especially with like the front air ducts but most of it comes from the same source. I mean xxii is shipped from Shenzhen. If you could find another seller on say AliExpress that uses the same supplier you could definitely save money. I'm looking for a half decent supplier for a rear diffuser right now in the 500 shipped range on ali.

I've been communicating with Jack and he said he hoped to get them out to me this week. I guess I need to follow-up now. Appreciate the info.

Exactly what I was thinking, too... I dabbled in dropshipping on Shopify a few years back and ran into this. However, I am with a few others here in that one could probably find a CF supplier on Alibaba and negotiate some of these pieces for a better price.

I don't have my car yet but I saw another thread about "knock off" carbon parts and decided to purchase my front lip from this e-mail. sales@racing-cf.com I paid about $800 for the lip shipped. All i really need now is carbon air inlet for the front. I really don't wana spend too much on those. |

Update: I spoke to autotechnic who is somewhat local to me. They are releasing there front bumper vents/ducts in February. Since they are a local company and Id prefer all parts be from the same company; I will most likely order all my parts from them.

Your website is impossible to use with constant auto-refresh. Can't even see what you have for sale as the page just keeps refreshing.

Just make sure the carbon fiber is pre preg or dry carbon. MHC I know offers pre preg and is made in the UK.
