Rexspeed paint quality?

How does their pre-painted stuff hold up or match the factory colors? I'm looking at picking up a vortex generator and a hood scoop and have them painted to match. I've not seen great things over time with carbon fiber holding up to the elements but also don't want to purchase a cheap color matching job.

Opinions only from those who actually one one please.

Thanks,

--Matt

I just got one for my 8, the bby matched perfectly and the fit in the outside edges needs to be better fitted.

I have the vg in octane blue. The color match is great. Fitment is not perfect but far from terrible. Most people who comment on it think it's OEM

paint quality is ok, it will last at most 3-4 years before it may need to be resprayed. my duckbill lip is only about 2 years old and it has a crack in the paint and a small circle thats beginning to fade, i first noticed this about 8 months ago.

similarly i ordered a VG from another overseas vendor, x-factor that was prepainted...that paint lasted about 2 years before it began fading in two areas.
