I'm calling wet lamiante carbon products junk (goofy) LOL j/k True they do turn out show cars daily but so does IPT

june issue import racer (350Z)
June issue performance auto and sound (Celica GT)
may issue higbeams (IS300)
Upcoming Super Street .August issue (is300)
Upcoming Import Tuner .August (350Z)
Upcoming September issue P.A.S. (RX8)
Upcoming october issue HCI (celica)

Those are just the recent i think every company turns out alot of show cars

It just bothers me when some companys badge products as 100% carbon fiber (not true for wet laminate companys )

Just flip the part over and bam chooped fiberglass or smooth fiberglass

thats all

how can you tell the difference? i saw the back of team prototypes valve cover and saw carbon fiber, no fiberglass... it looked real to me and the quality was really good. i think both companies look nice.
