Carbon fiber recommendations
I'm planning on purchasing some cf exterior parts soon (grill, mirror caps, diffuser, and spoiler). Looking to get recommendations on manufacturers? I've been checking out RW Carbon but would love other input. I'm looking for quality and not the cheapest product out there. Plus would like the weave to match hence ordering from one source

Most companies use the same twill weave so matching really hasn't been an issue for me. Exterior wise I have 4 separate carbon pieces all from different producers.
CF Mirror caps - OEM CF PSM Rear Trunk Lip - Northwestcarbon CF Msport Rear Diffuser - JHPDynamics CF Msport Front Lip - Ebay (I dont remember who made it tbh) All match perfect since the same weave is used and its just a polished clear epoxy on top.

Let's face it, some people don't have an eye for what matches. It is easier to buy from one quality manufacturer but even then you must pay close attention. I've seen a well known Company that everyone respects sell CF Parts with 2x2 on some parts and 1x1 on the other. The finishes can also be different. And cheaper stuff yellows after sunlight exposure. I'm not a fan of RW Carbon for some actions they have taken. I'll leave it at that. |
