Carbon Creations
Hows the quality on carbon creations' hoods/wings? They are pretty cheaply priced compared to other brands and I like the look of the GT Concept hood but I'm worried about the quality and fitment

I had a Carbon Creations hood for about 4-5 years total and didn't have any issues with the finish. There was one spot that had a variation in the weave.
I run all VIS stuff now, and I'd say they are better built in subtle ways. The undersides are carbon and fiberglass, they are more 3 dimensional, and have more heat ducting. But they are more expensive.
The Carbon Creations hood was a good hood, but simple. I had to add some paneling to block water from running into my intake, for example, because the inside is a naked hood.
Just make sure you get a real one, but it directly, or from a true reseller.

My s2000 track car has a Carbon Creations hood, CR replica wing, and trunk. That car sits out in the sun all day every day in NEW MEXICO and never gets washed by anyone besides mother nature. The finish has stood up perfectly so far, after two years of the same treatment. I wouldn't know about the customer service, as I have never used it, but the fit was really good compared to past carbon I've had and the finish is holding up 100%. I'd say they have exceeded my expectations, especially considering the price.
When I bought all 3 pieces, I found a seller on ebay and negotiated a deal to buy outside of ebay/paypall and pocket the fees. Risky, but everything worked out and I saved a nice chunk of change. I got an emailed invoice and paid with a credit card, so I would at least have some recourse if things went badly
