01 / Decision shortcut

Same platform.
Different priorities.

Choose first by shape and mounting approach. The price difference matters, but a failed test fit or damaged installed part matters more.

03 / Before checkout

Test fit before
installation.

01

Return exposure

RW Carbon’s current FAQ says shipped returns can carry a 15% restocking fee and non-refundable shipping. Installed products are generally not returnable unless there is a fitment issue.

02

Professional fitment

The seller ties its fitment guarantee to proper professional installation and recommends a complete test fit before installation or alteration.

03

Damage deadline

The current policy asks buyers to report shipping damage within seven days and keep the product, packaging and shipping label unaltered for a claim.

04 / Sources & limits

Claimed,
not proven.

Price, part number, fitment, construction and installation statements were checked against RW Carbon’s public Performance Style and GTX product pages on August 28, 2026. Taxes, shipping, inventory and checkout totals can change.

CarbonFitment has not independently installed either exact product. Both therefore remain Grade C: a traceable manufacturer claim without an attributable independent installation record.
