Hate to rain on the parade, but I was one of the first to have the real cf sail panels back in 99. After 6 months, you will be wanting to put the stockers back on. They fade like crazy and create a film build up that is impossible to remove. In short they look like crap. Thats why KKM (90 $)discontinued them. Mine are still here, and I can snap pics of how they turn out. Ive seen the sail panels for sale here, and they look identicle to the defective ones I purchased a while back. Unless some significant improvement of the KKM's have been made, dont buy.
I know what you are talking about. bought those way back when. SMP291 owns my old car. If you live anywhere there is humidity it makes them cloudy really bad for some reason.

I found that if you use a good automotive paint polish (not wax, I tryed that and made them worse) you can keep them looking pretty good. I think the reason was that CF was designed for dash kits that would not see the elements.
