Default Carbon Fiber bits

Any one with opinions on who produces the best carbon fiber hoods/trunklids?
Fit and finish is important to me.

I bought a cf hood off of craigslist.. The make was "Fiber Images". It had good fitment and was very inexpensive. Though it was cheap it still had a catch that fit right in to my stock hood latch.

I'll never get another CF exterior part again. I don't care who makes it. Eventually the clear will oxidize. At the very least it will turn yellow.

Too solve that problem if you care or are willing to re clear coat your cf parts before they get damaged i read somewhere that the clear coat on the cf when you get it from a company is crap and you should re clear it anyway.

And how often do you want to have to keep re-clearing it? Once is too many times.
