Faircloth composites?
Does anyone have experience with the widebody rear fenders and B92 carbon fiber hood from faircloth composites? Starting to plan out winter mods. Curious on fitment of these. The hood is very pricey, but if it fits well I gotta have it. Any feedback about these parts or good and bad experiences with the company is much needed and appreciated.

They're stand up guys and stand behind their product. You wont be disappointed. Chris has a true passion for what he does.

If you're on Facebook, Chris Faircloth (owner) is in a lot of C6 pages. I constantly see people vouch for him and saying his fitment is spot on with little to no adjsutments. In this case you get what you pay for.

Told the wife this was probably a January or February purchase unless there is a good black Friday deal. She was unimpressed with the price. She became even more unimpressed when I showed her the price of the show finish option for the hood that I plan on purchasing. She said it's not happening. The only logical response a man can have after such a serious conversation is to go ahead and do it anyway. 😆 🤣

They are custom hand made carbon panels, no **** they aren't OEM fitment. They are the best carbon panels on the market, if you want good parts go with FC.

Plus one for that, rarely ever heard a complaint out of anything Chris has made and I'd say for certain he'd stand behind it if something had a flaw or failure.

Very true but more specifically the fenders require a lot of adjustments. I didn't think it would take 20+ hours to get them to fit properly, especially after the guarantee it was OEM quality. My stock GS fenders lined up perfectly on a base model with no issues. Kind of disappointed on the whole process.
