Looking for opinions on their products, particularly the matte finish? Does their weave closely match OEM? Fitment issues?
 
I have never used BESTEMUSA for the simple fact that their "carbon fibre" has a fibreglass backing.

I got caught out by similarly laid up carbon piece from a company in the UK. Not once did they mention the fiberglass backing. I threw it in the garbage.
 
+1 for Shift-Tech... Everything I have seen from them and have bought personally has been fantastic for quality and fit. Also, with the Forum discounts available, it is also decently priced compared to the competition.

Although Bestem products are less expensive for their CF/FG mix product (Of which only you would know once it is installed), some of their products are also 100% CF... They are good at labeling what is what when you are looking to buy.

The one downside that I found with Bestem is that they do not offer nearly as much for the Panigale compared to ShiftTech. Guido has nearly ever piece imaginable for the Pani available, wheras I found Bestem has mostly the "popular" stuff that everyone else offers too.

In the end, they are both great brands and you would be happy with either purchase... I personally would support the Forum Vendor first.
 
I got the rear hugger mudguard and I love it. The finish is the same of the front DP fender.

Very good quality and they are 30 min away from my house ;-)
 
Most if not all the "flawless" carbon is made by Lieb Speed in Germany, whose very limited range of parts are without doubt the best quality and fit you will find bar none. Next up would be Ilmberger and CDT. Further down the list would be MS Productions. CM Composit make some exquisite stuff but not seen any parts for the Panigale. Anything else is at best going to be a lottery in terms of precision, fit and finish. You get what you pay for ultimately.
 
Thank you everybody for the help, suggestions and recommendations.
