How's the Overall Opinion on RW Carbon?
I'm not that guy that has disposable income to buy a brand new M5 and smother it with genuine 3D Design goodness and some BBS FI wheels; I'm working on a budget here and trying to do the best I can with what I've got.
After picking up my car CPO'd, I've determined that I'd really like the aero parts on the car. So far, my only choices have been the mainstream high-end brands (I'm years away in my life from being able to spend $6k on carbon bits), or the Amazon.com absolute garbage from Taiwan (bad past experiences). Reading through some of these threads, I did stumble upon RW Carbon. They have the style I desire, at a price I can probably swing. So my question is, how does everyone feel about RW Carbon? Overall fit and finish, fitment, quality consistency, etc. I'd like to pull the trigger on the front and rear aero parts soon. Your feedback would be very much appreciated. I've come to implicitly trust you guys and your experiences. K

Which trunk spoiler did you go with? Vacuum or non? What the hell is the difference?

Vacuum - new technology I think it makes the fitment better.

RW Carbon here as well... I am also working on a budget as you are and I've tried several products and thus far RW Carbon has had the best quality and finish out of them all.
I have their front lip and spoiler. I did have to use bigger washers on the front instead of the stock washers. Held it in better.

Thanks guys. I'll be ordering front and rear diffusers and the spoiler. Should I contact them directly or just do an online order? I didn't see them as forum sponsors.

I've been to RW as they are local to me. My friend with a M3 and 435 has RW on his cars and fitment is pretty good. Those guys are cool and stand by their products.
I ended up getting ikon motorsport which was an ebay seller but they were also local to me. I was able to do a test fit before purchasing and fit is also pretty good, lower cost than RW. I only have front lip, sides and rear diffuser from Ikon. I plan to get the trunk spoiler from RW. Just haven't decided yet coz I'm thinking of keeping the carbon just on the bottom... |

I don't think RW products are made in USA; likely Taiwan. Go ahead and ask them. I was told it's made in Taiwan. That being said, I still think Taiwan products are better than China. I almost bought a Vorsteiner Replica diffuser from RW for the M6 GC, but got a deal I couldn't refuse for an authentic one.
