Default CF Hardtop question

My top has several holes and more forming and with the wet weather season approaching I'm looking into a CF Hardtop. 1st of all Mugen is right out do to cost so that leaves me with a few options, VIS, Seibon, or maybe some other I have not come across. My question is does anybody have any direct experience with the VIS or Seibon top and what is your oppinion of them ie: fit and durability?

I have a CF Hardtop from IIGQ4U, which is essentially a C-Wings. Fitment is only OK but if I had to do it again, I would get the Mugen FRP for better fitment or gone OEM HT.

I am actually thinking about selling my top if you are interested.

I have a c-wings hardtop but not CF. They fit very well. I personally don't like CF hardtop because when and if it fades, that ruins the cleanliness of the car.

My thinking is when and if it fades I can always paint it. Thanks for the input so far.

I know a guy that has had the Mugen CF for 4 years now and it looks fine still.

I personally have heard and seen bad things with Seibon not fitting properly and leaving gaps.

I would just do MUGEN FRP, why go CF? It won't save you that much weight and a good CF top costs about 6K
