I am in the process of changing out some of the cheap exterior plastic parts with CF parts. I have some Carbondriven parts and they are quality. Does anybody have reviews of HCM CF components, sold by Sigala?

I like their chin spoiler and grille delete but would like some feedback cause they ain't cheap.

Thanks

I went directly through sigala and purchased their grille delete and it is a super nice piece quality is fantastic. I will actually be ordering the cowl panel where the wipers are from them soon. I have carbon driven's fog light bezels and I would almost say the sigala piece looks slightly better.

I have their grill delete. It's a quality part. Only thing i recommend is some kind of rubber washer for the mounting plate for the cobra (if you are going to hang one in the grill). The metal may dig into the CF due to vibration.

I can't attest to the yellowing as I haven't had it on long or has it had a lot of sun exposure. It definitely is built well though.

My ride is a garage queen outside of a few thousand-weekend miles a year. That being said, I would be pissed if they turn yellow after a couple of years. Does anyone have experience with that happening>? Are we talking yellow after a decade of being parked outside like headlights or a year later they look like shit with no depth or shine?

I have heard and remember seeing photos of their stuff peeling and yellowing after time.

I wouldn't buy a spoiler or hood from them but some small parts why not.... just ceramic coat them every year to add more UV protection.

The most concerning thing is their customer service is poor I have read.

If you can order carbondriven go that route. He has a good reputation.

I'm thinking of the grill delete peice myself... but I need brakes first.

I have their grill delete, hood, roof and trunk. They say the gel coat is UV stable but I still had all my stuff sprayed with a nice thick clear coat to protect it. I never saw it before the clear was sprayed but the builder (musclecarresort) definitely said the depth and clarity went way up.

A the car doesn’t seem much sun light anyway so I can’t imagine it yellowing from UV.

As far as customer service goes I ordered the grille delete molding on accident received the part and had a well S*** moment and contacted them and I just shipped it back paid the extra difference for the actual grille delete and they didn't hassle me at all. Honestly I expected to be stuck with the molding bc it was my stupid fault for not paying attention.

I've had the HCM Carbon spoiler, and grill delete for over 3 years, my car gets some highway miles in the summer so the rock chips have not been kind still looks great, as far as yellowing no issues. On the other hand I also have the carbon driven side scoop inserts and those have chipped really bad.

I should have listened to the reviews of this guy being shady. I bought the grill delete from Sigala on 11/30, they took my money and I have had ZERO communication from them. On the website, it states the part ships in three weeks, I have nothing. I have emailed, Facebook messaged, and sent a message via their website and received ZERO communication from this guy.

Unreal.

I'd message them one more time and tell them they have X days to respond or you'll be talking to your credit card company to get your funds back.

Man, I've seriously had nothing but luck with them. They have been quick to communicate and sent product fast. They even provided me with a military discount I didn't ask for.

** On second thought I've communicated with them via text mostly, text them at 6194784711.

Thanks, I will give that a shot, It has been over a week since I sent the first email. Believe me, I would rather get the part then try to get my money back from my CC company.

Sounds about right. I’d stay far away once you get your chargeback.

That’s definitely the correct number that I’ve used in the past, I have a long text chain tied to it. Something has definitely changed.

I have them doing some custom work for me right now. That has been via email initiated off the website.
