Carbon Fiber hood vents and fender vents - Anderson vs C7 vs APR

[Phil O]

In reviewing the threads, there appears to be 3 companies who provide CF hood vents and front fender vents for the Raptor:

Anderson Composites: https://andersoncomposites.com/collections/all/ford-raptor-2017--esr4382823
hood vent: $799
fender vent pr: $399
TOTAL: $1198

C7 Carbon: https://www.c7carbon.com/f150-raptor-gen-2-c-123_214?zenid=b430abd474892c6ac2c24173664f1aae
hood vent: $549
fender vent pr: $269
TOTAL: $818

APR Performance: http://shop.aprperformance.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=72_128_180
hood vent: $899
fender vent pr: $589
TOTAL: $1488

For those of us who want a great carbon look (not necessarily 100% "real" carbon), easy installation and a near-perfect fit, and not worrying about weight, is APR or Anderson worth the extra cash over C7? I am unable to find anybody who has said to avoid any of the vendors above, so it makes the decision tough on who to use.

I want great fit, a clean installation and consistency across all 3 pieces (hood vent and 2 side vents).

Comments please....

APR CF hood vent is $769 and vents are $500 at Apollo Optics...

Anybody installed Anderson?

SOLD! APR it is. Thank you so much for posting pix. My Raptor is the same color as yours and that looks absolutely amazing!

Any issues with installation (ie broken clips, etc)?

Thank you! Even though this question is a sidebar, but what other mods did you do to your truck? May give me more ideas since we both have magnetic vehicles.
