Go ams as well. Seibon is just a overlay ams is a whole replacement. Little more pricey and more work but worth the effort!

dude its carbon fiber,.. no **** its going to fade. have a local body guy slap some clear on it if its a big worry, or just take care of it,.. for example WAX IT!.

its AMS, great company, they are not going to put their name on something that will fade in 2 weeks.... which doesnt mean neglect it!

^^^ The guy asked a simple question don't be an a$$hole about it^^^^^^.......I'm sure I'll fade if you leave it parked in the baking sun all year round. Ams's carbon fiber roofs are very high quality. It's not going to fade in a year or maybe two

AMS has a great roof that looks the best imo, get it re cleared and you will be in the clear.

AMS CF hood all the way. I saw one on an EVO from MI while at AMS and it's worth it, if you got the extra $$$.
