Made in the USA from high quality first grade REAL Carbon fiber with a highly durable marine grade UV protected finish to help protect from yellowing fading and damage! Their are other Carbon Fiber parts sellers out their that use a rubbery urethane clear coat finish that despite what they say won't last and will dry up, crack and fade like an old dash board in a little over a year. Others use a lacquer or vinyl finish which will fade very quickly as well and some use no protective finish at all which will turn yellow in no time! I use a highly durable marine grade UV protected clear finish found on boats! This clear finish is designed to constantly stand up to sun, salt and abrasive sand for many years! And if you manage to scratch the durable surface, you can wet sand and polish it back out to a beautiful shine unlike the rubbery urethane finishes which cant be wet sanded so if you get a scratch then it's their to stay, and those with no finish at all will also be permanently damaged by what should be a simple repairable scratch! As long as you occasionally polish your carbon Fiber pillars the same you would the paint job on your car, then your Carbon Fiber will remain beautiful virtually forever!
