RW Carbon quality?
Got tired of my build week slipping constantly, so I found a car that was available and in transit. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the exterior carbon fiber pack, so I’m thinking of adding the RW Carbon options once I take delivery.
How has everyone’s experience been with them? Last edited by 8696 YG; 03-15-2022 at 12:57 PM.. Reason: Removing link to RW Carbon |

As far as I know, they have a very good reputation.

I have used them for the following cars:
F10 M5 F90 M5 G80 M3 They are local to me and Ive posted a few pics here as well. The quality and fitment Ive seen is great and the pricing based on what I just described is very fair especially for items off line of sight. I dont usually load up my cars with aftermarket CF parts but these made sense to me. Here are a few reposts on the G80: and my F90

Thanks! They look pretty great and definitely agree on the fair value part. I’m basically adding the carbon fiber exterior pack through them and it comes out cheaper than the OEM option!

I've been researching for literally months between OEM, R44, and RW.
While I think R44 seems to have more control over their production, and definitely the design, AND their return policy is very friendly, I had trouble justifying the cost difference for the inlets and rear diffuser, plus shipping, customs, etc. I'm wondering if I should have just done it. I have gone back and forth with both R44 and RW on IG to try to get more insight into their production and have them understand I am a picky sob and I'm looking for OEM fitment and quality. Both claimed to do that - R44 saying their production methods are the best out there, high quality clear coat, etc. RW said essentially the same thing and I figured, well, they're closer and it may be easier to deal with. However, their return policy sort of suck with the 15% restocking. I received the inlets and diffuser yesterday and at first was happy as the quality seemed good. After closer inspection there were some tiny bubbles in the clear in a couple of areas. Very small, but there. On the inlets, one bottom of one of the openings wasn't flat, it was sort of deformed. They also use this foam strip around the inlets (between the carbon and the plastic clips) which I thought was strange, but part of that strip was a little off. Not a huge deal, but didn't give me confidence especially after being told that each piece goes through QC before being shipped to the customer. RW has been responsive and agreed to exchange the items. I sure hope the replacements are as expected or I'm going to have to suck it up and either get R44 or OEM. I actually thought about taking one for the team and getting R44 and RW and comparing the two, but I really just want to be done with it. So, jury is out still, but I'm hoping the next batch I get will be as expected and that they end up fitting when it comes time to do that. tl;dr Get the OEM crap during the build or suck it up after the fact.

They are good for the price. We offer our own XPH carbon line as well with similar quality, but unfortunately we do not have any options for the G8x platform yet

I had an m-performance style spoiler and the 3D-Design style rear diffuser from them on my F80, both fit perfect and the quality was great. Haven't used any of their G80 pieces yet though

I had their version of the M performance lip and splitters on my F80. Fitment was pretty good. There was a minor defect in the carbon or clear at the bottom of the lip. They discounted it. It didnt bother me as I figured I would destroy it anyway. But it held up for 3 years with no issue before I sold the car.
