BBIST seems to be the best quality since its double sided... but as for the other two I haven't heard anything negative about them so I guess cheapest price is the way to go...

just a question for all you people that went with fiber fx.....ever heard of a company called carbon efx? cause i can tell you right now, fiber fx did not make my hood. carbon efx is an ebay company. i paid retail dollar for a high quality hood that was to have fiber-fx's logo on it. however, every time i open up my hood....glaring right at me is a BIG FAT "EFX" logo. do i sound a bit irritated for paying 140 bucks extra and receiving eBay crap? do i sound irritated that I then had to spend money to get my nozzle holes drilled after i paid fiber fx to do so and they didnt? do i sound irritated that i had to pay labor charges to get my fenders pulled up due to the massive gaps in my EBAY CF HOOD?! do i sound irritated that when it arrived, i couldnt even put it on the car, i had to take it to get clear coated, BECAUSE THERE WERE SCRATCHES ON IT EVERYWHERE FROM THEIR POOR PACKAGING? DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE TICKED WHEN I SPEND ALMOST 400 EXTRA BUCKS TO GET THE F'IN THING IN USABLE CONDITION!?!?!?! i called Coi and left him a couple messages....he didnt get back to me until almost 2 weeks later. Was i a bit ____ed off? Hmm, i would say so. DONT BUY FIBER-FX

buy AIT or bBist only. dont get ripped off like i did. i will never do business with that company again. they're full of crap.

so fiber-fx=efx??
...well i have dealt with fiber-fx and coi and i agree with tC_skier, I will never deal with them again because of the quality of parts, and just the lack of customer service replying in the severly delayed responding of emails and messages. I would recommend Racing Solution over them as Brian is great with customer service helping you get through a problem, should it arise.
