Trufiber or Anderson Composites?

As the title implies Id like some opinions on whether to go with Anderson Composites or Trufiber to switch out some of the plastic on the exterior of my ZL1 1LE. Trufiber is a bit less expensive, but that may not mean less quality. Thoughts?

Both make a great product. Unfortunately both are WAY behind when it comes to what's in stock and what's on back order. I can't speak for TruFiber, but if its OOS with Anderson, you are looking at a MINIMUM 12-16 week wait. as far as quality, but are top notch. I have the Anderson 1le spoiler and its amazing. I also have the trufiber canards and bezels. Again, look amazing. If you go with either you won't be disappointed. As you said, the TruFiber is usually less expensive.

Ordered an Anderson Composites ZLE spoiler in October of 2020, didn't receive it until May 2021. Their jig was also off slightly so I had to field destroy it and get my money back because they did not know how long it would be until they would fix the jigs and be able to make more spoilers. The carbon fiber finish looked awesome and I felt terrible destroying it but it didn't fit dropping in.

As there test car its hard to be bias..

I like real replacement parts 80% of trufiber is real replacement parts the stuff that is to hard to make well not to hard but to bridle to install or remove are are made as covers. For instance the side skirts.. they had to be made as a cover and Anderson believes the same the clips will simply pull off or crack the carbon.

Comparison:

Dive planes: Anderson's last time I ck'd was only finished(wet) on 1 side trufiber finished on both

Zl1 1le bezel trufiber is an exact replica of the oem part Anderson's not sure

front spitter Trufiber is an exact replica and uses the oem hardware the Anderson seems a little bit of there own design

hoods or diffuser not available yet because I cant find a body shop that will aid in making a mold and brace. Why do this you will see that the anderson diffuser is to tight and pulls on your bumper causing unnecessary gaps. The part has to be made on the car not from a spare part like the rest. I run the Anderson diffuser because everything on the outside is carbon id rather have gaps then one mosiac part standing out.

anyhow here is my thread.

trufiber is working on a 1le design spoiler



I'm also looking at making an insert for larger blowers like the LPE insert it will be better twill 2x2 vacuum infused vs 1 x 1 prepeg.

Anderson is made in China and really poor quality. It is from the same company as Seibon
