Default Carbon Fiber Question

Hey All,

Quick question as I am new to the Carbon Fiber thing. I am thinking a few pieces on the BC would look good. Spoiler, front lip, maybe even the Seibon GTR hood. Anyway, are there any visable differences between different manufacturers? For example, if I go with the EVO-R front lip, the Seibon hood, and maybe the Carbon Signal spoiler, do I have anything to worry about with the weave/pattern etc.? Thanks in advance.

Try to match up the weaves if you're combining multiple vendors parts. If something is 2x2 and then next to it isn't, it'll look weird. Ask the vendors what kind of CF they use and make sure they're all the same (I think most of the stuff on here is)

Yes there will be a difference in patterns you have to check with ur vendor regarding cf patterns and try to match them as best as possible

To slightly narrow it down, 2x2 twill is probably the most common.

2x2 is most common....just be sure. Look at pics, its either 2x2 or plain weave, big noticeable difference.
