Clue other than price. "We have used a fade resistant resin during the manufacturing process...". In dry carbon, the resins are already in the CF. Marketing bullcrap.

Example of real dry carbon: Esprit Dry Carbon Wing for Nissan GT-R Released – GT Wing 262 | Nissan GT-R News - GTRBlog.com

275,100 yen = $2958 U.S. Dollars (currently).
You're comparing a wing to an engine cover, which are two totally different items. Even a regular CF wing goes upwards of $1500.

The cover in question has already been pointed out as being the wrong posting. PW JDM uses real dry carbon in their products marked as being dry carbon. If you ever saw the piece up close you would know this. Also their cooling panels and access panels (the dry carbon ones) are not overlays.

That's definitely a first for me. I've just seen so many places claim to have cold (dry) carbon and it's the same old overlay stuff. I stand corrected and retract my statement.
