Carbon Fiber parts

New to the forum and wondering, has anyone ordered any of the hoods or anything carbon fiber from trucarbon/trufiber or any other place?

Wanted to know how long does the clear coat last before it starts to yellow or fade.

I was told these parts are not 100 percent carbon fiber and use a fiberglass backing. Is this method used on OEM carbon fiber parts as well? Or is it there way to keep costs down?

Really??

Go to trucarbon.net or trufiber.net. Trucarbon is for carbon fiber and trufiber is for fiberglass. I was told Seibon was cheap crap.
