I had a chance to install the front lip, side skirts, and rear diffuser from RW. Here's what I found...

Front Lip: I give the overall quality an OK+ rating. The fit was great although I think it should have more mounting points in the middle to be sure it doesn't come loose during high speeds or track days. I added a bead of Amazing Goop along the bottom where it mounts. The weave looked good but the clear coat had noticeable blemishes on the side wing areas. One side looked like it had a run and it was poorly sanded down and resprayed. Both sides simply were not a perfect finish. I'd still recommend it for the price and the fact that it goes on the bottom of the car. It'll take rock chips and you really won't see these blemishes that low to the ground.

Rear Diffuser: OK rating. The fit isn't perfect with the side bottom areas not lining up perfectly with the bumper body work. You really have to look closely to notice. The clear coat finish was slightly better than the front lip but not perfect. Like the front lip this is not a big issue, as it's near the ground. The fitment might be a deal breaker for some but I decided to live with it given the price and the fact that I'd get hit with 15% restocking fee and shipping cost to return it.

Side Skirts: Good+. The carbon weave and the clear coat are perfect--I didn't see any blemishes. The fit was about 98%. I feel like it could have fit just slightly tighter to the bottom of the car but that's my OCD talking. My only complaint was having to drill so many holes (9/side IIRC) but they're small and can be easily plugged if I decide to remove them later.

Now with all the other carbon bits on the car I feel the car *needs* a carbon trunk spoiler.

I was kicking around the idea of getting the RW Carbon one but in the end decided for the price it wasn't worth the gamble of getting something with clear coat blemishes on a part that will be very noticeable. I might have to cough up the cash for an actual M Performance part or give Monaco Motorsports a try.

As for ordering from RW Carbon, I shared here how there was a mistake in my favor with my order. In the end, it wasn't a big deal but involved a trip to FedEx on my time.
