What kinda CF wrap is this?

^ What he said. Id rather use this stuff to do some matching and have a few grand left over for real performance mods then to waste money on the "real thing". On the roof especially, youre just adding it over, so the real CF would actually add more weight, whithout any benefits.

Dont get me wrong CFE, your stuff looks amazing, but its wayyyyy too expensive.

I wouldnt say we are "WAYYYtoo expensive" Carbon fiber and Resin are themselves expensive materials, along with the amount of work it takes, we aren't simply applying a double sided sticker and calling it a day. Each piece takes hours to perfect from preparing, laying down material, sanding, reapplying resin, more sanding, more resin, more sanding, cleat coating, wet-sanding and buffing.....Its in no means to cost the same as cloth or leather that's for sure. Thank you for the compliment though

What you guys at CFE make

I have the utmost respect for those who do things the legit way when they have the means... It just ain't for me

pretty much this professional described everything in detail, I once tried to make carbon fiber parts for my g37 and only ended up with 200 dollars material in trashcan + epoxy drips on my garage floor. it is some labor intense stuff.

couldve been better if i have gone with infusion system
