Guess I'm a bit anal when it comes to carbon fiber since I've done so much.
When it comes to smaller pieces,it is hard to get the grain direction to match.
If it does not go the same direction,it looks terrible IMO.
This is the case with the EVOR 370z door barrels. As noted,the front part that
covers the A/C duct,does not match. Hard to do this since the part appears to be
molded.An option would be a second part that matches the actual barrel.This would be quite costly to produce a matched set.
A option would be to use a straight 1x1 weave that would not reply on a direction.
For sure,matched weave direction does give a super custom look.
I've got carbon fiber B-pillar cover in carbon from ZCF.Both sides have the
desireable \\\\ direction.
