Default Caravaggio vs. Katech carbon fiber

Hi guys,

Any opinions on which brand/vendor has the best products? Looking to turn a stage 1 car into a stage 3.

Thanks!

I can only speak on behalf of Caravaggio since that's what I bought. The fit and finish was perfect and an exact replica of the OEM pieces, probably better built than OEM. I would recommend Caravaggio 100% based on my experience. I also went from stage 1 to 3.

Not only that but the fact is that the USD>CND currency rate was about 1.21 and that give the Caravaggio a reduced cost!

I used all Caravaggio for my upgrade to stage two. Fit anf finish are perfect. The dealer that installed it for even commented how nice it was and thought it looked better than what comes from GM. So my vote is for John at Caravaggio. Simple the best, IMO

I have to give a shout out to Jason @ Katech...pure carbon fiber...such high quality...no need for clear coat...which means no road rash....perfect fit and look...great vender...works hard to earn your satisfaction...

I have used both and they are the best. My caravaggio interior was purchased and installed by Katech and they were 100% perfect. Work with Jason at Katech and you will recieve total satisfaction...

I purchased Katech and was 100% satisfied with the carbon fiber as to fit and finish. Nothing but praise from my dealership regarding the product. Jason is great to work with. When you asked about the quality of this product vs the other it is very doubtful any of the folks out there have held both of these two manufactures products in their hands let alone attempted to put on and compare both products without bias. So for the most part you are now aware of two good CF products that a number of people attest to there quality.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys - I ended up going with Caravaggio for the splitter and side skirts - however I'd like to get some additional pieces that Caravaggio isn't making yet. Anyone know if they would match? I know the weave is the same, but what about the coloring, clear coat?

Thanks!
