Best budget carbon fiber manufacturer

boyerstyle · 04-11-2018, 01:48 AM

I’m looking to add some carbon fiber accents to my f32, would love some input on a budget carbon fiber vendor/manufacturer. If you recommend one I missed feel free to chime in! Thanks!

I'm happy with the pieces I got from RW. Spoiler, mirrors, diffuser and lip. Just an FYI they come with zero instruction or mounting hardware, but they were easy enough to figure out. Also there are plenty of DIYs on the forums and youtube.

your poll is full of third party vendors (middle men)

most CF if not all CF are made in asia and brought here and sold at double the price.

Oh totally agree. Just wasn't sure which ones have better QC and if some maybe source from different places (I had read that typically parts quality from Taiwan was better over China etc).

Edit: I see my subject said manufacturer, thanks for the info!

You cud skip the middlemen and try your luck on aliexpress and order direct.

I've had good and bad luck on that site. I got CF mirror caps for 70$ but the clear coat started to go bad.

I got a cf diffuser for $200 and its perfect fitment no issues. no clear coat problems

just gotta make sure you order from the right vendors. theres alot of good reviews tho.

I'd second that, as I have had some good luck on AliExpress
