I paid good money and waited a very long time for them. Also, this car is a summer weekend warrior at best and garage parked. Those caps probably dont have 10 hours of sun on them this year. Perhaps Tekarbon built these with higher quality in the past. I am a recent build. So as for now, I cannot in good faith recommend Tekarbon caps to anyone - its a bad investment.
Now, my Skyer spoiler - which was installed at the same time as the caps - looks great, just like the day I put it on. And ironically, probably have many many hours of sun since I leave my garage open and the ass end of the car catches the sunset daily. Kudos to Skyer.
So.... to conclude. Put me down on the list Jordan. I will replace my current caps with Skyer caps once they are made

Was your clear good from the beginning or did it break down over time? I just got the Tekarbon's about 3 months ago and mine seemed great. I actually had the bases carbon fibered as well to match the covers. I am going to ceramic coat the car so hopefully it protects oxidation. In any case, I've re cleared carbon fiber overlay before and it simply conceals any blemishes.
