My RW cap has gone cloudy on the passenger side

Same here, but on driver's side cap. Garaged all the time, waxed monthly at least. Purchased and installed March 2015. Will not be ordering from them again.

I just noticed the same thing the last couple of days on my mirrors... It has bubbled like OP's mirrors. I detailed my whole car before new years, and it was fine... but not anymore.

I purchased them 11 months ago. 1st set was defected and they sent a new set straight away.

They just emailed back saying they can send me another set "heavily discounted"

It's funny how they do not offer warranty but "stand by their product" what does that mean?

That discount better be 100% off.

I think they're going to see a huge drop off in revenue in the coming months

Bam226 · 02-20-2016, 01:39 AM

I was buying, not any more.

2Banger · 05-10-2016, 08:16 AM

Wow glad @BMWZ4 showed me this thread...

I thought i must've done something wrong because my rear spoiler is really cloudy. What a damn shame its their quality...

I really don't want to pay BMW's OEM Price its absolutely ridiculous hahaha god damnit.

Oh snap, thought their mirror caps were the only things that had issues. :/ Guess I'll look elsewhere for a rear spoiler or just get the stock one wrapped.

BMWZ4 · 05-10-2016, 10:36 AM

My 235 came with the OEM spoiler. Never waxed it as RW is suggesting with their CF Products so I can only assume the OEM CF clear coat is of better quality, which explains the pricing. My spoiler is still mint even sitting in the sun all day.

jmwilson125 · 05-10-2016, 12:38 PM

Just a thought. Does anyone know if you used a quality UV stable clear coat and sprayed that over the existing coat if it would still yellow?

Does a UV stable coat prevent uv from getting through it, or does it just not affect it?

leeadam · 05-10-2016, 01:04 PM

wow they are awful quality...you guys should go for the ones i have from autoid.uk.com. quality is spot on lovely not a blemish on them, and have the m look.

barfastic · 05-11-2016, 02:54 AM

Those are REALLY nice, and have been added to my virtual basket to be purchased along with other Cf parts! hehe

ohohoh123456 · 05-11-2016, 10:38 AM

gotta say, i had 1 purchase from ******** and it will be my last one. their cf quality is so bad.

bought spoiler from them, it was awful. the surface was not smooth, could feel the texture under it. however the guy was cool for exchanging one for me only that the new one was only slightly better, still not comparable with other brands. I don't think their price is competitive either given their quality. maybe only advantage is that their product is in CA so comes in a bit faster.

Dabozo · 09-21-2016, 10:28 AM

geez..glad i stumbled onto this thread! was seriously considering a few products from these guys...not now though!

42395_skyline · 10-08-2016, 06:03 PM

I was about to order the mirror caps but after reading through this I don't think it's worth spending the money even if it is a lot cheaper... Anyone know if they still have this issue?

FakeM2 · 10-10-2016, 04:33 PM

i have mirror caps, lip and spoiler installed for a few months now. The lip seem to fair okay, mirrors have small bubbles and the spoiler is absolutely horrible i avoid pictures that has the spoiler in shot. I would not recommend rw carbon

walnuttea · 10-23-2016, 10:51 PM

Any suggestions for places to purchase the 3D front splitter? Also love that design. Was going to purchase from RW Carbon but I guess not!

Also, does anyone have pictures of the discoloring/bubbles/cloudiness of these RW carbon parts? Curious to see what they look like when they go bad. Especially curious about the trunk spoiler I was thinking of getting it from them before reading this thread.

JeezuzFr3ak · 02-03-2017, 01:22 PM

I found a similar rear bumper diffuser on the m0dbargain site, for $599. I do like the look of the ******** design better (slightly), but I am not willing to take the chance due to their obvious quality problems! Seems m0dbargains gets good reviews, but I don't see many references to them on the forum, perhaps due to the domain masking (******).

dukeapenguin · 02-24-2017, 03:46 AM

I have a pair same issue after 8 month, never wax never clean and all day under sun.

But for $200, who care?

Evil_ss · 08-09-2017, 08:03 PM

I had the exact same issue, but they did send me a replacement set. I still need to swap them out!!

Please see attached pictures of my RW carbon both side mirror caps.

I installed in end of april 2015 on my M235.

You can see the bubbles and cracks in the Mirrors, furthermore I don't park under the sun frequently maybe only once to twice in a week. It is always sheltered. None of my M performance CF has this issues.

When I wrote to them to complaint, they told me there is no warranty on their parts at all. Please see the link he send me http://www.********.com/warranty.html link

And told me I need to wax the CF every month. Honestly

Lastly told me to buy a new one from them.

If you intend to use their CF parts for less than 8months then you can purchase it. Cause from my experience it wont last longer.

NEUE02 · 08-09-2017, 08:12 PM

Yep, their stuff is really junk. They wouldn't stand behind their products for me.

RotorOver · 08-10-2017, 03:28 PM
