Default Recomendations for best fitting /quality carbon fiber products needed please.

As the title states I am interested in purchasing a carbon hood, bumper spoiler, and hatch wing for my 93 hatchback. I realize some carbon products are a bear to work with so am looking for a little advice on who has the best carbon products for civics.
Thank you

I was waiting for a question in regards to $$$...I'm sure...it is the look I am going for and I want to make sure I have a fit as close to OEM as possible.

No worries...I plan on staying away from ebay and I realize quality = money...I just want to get the purchase right the first time.

Besides JDMshit.com any other places carry these items?
Thanks

95% of the time "quality" companies fitment is i've seen countless poor fits from VIS and some from Carbon Creations as well but in my experience..
2000 Civic DX Hatchback with VIS cf hood-
1992 Civic LX Sedan with Carbon Creations cf hood- not great but ok
like i said my 2 hoods fit good, but others have fit really poorly guess i'm just lucky, the first thing i'd do to a carbon fiber hood is immediately get it re-cleared because those gel coats suck *******.
