    Default Carbon Fiber

    Which is best, carbon fiber sheets or the carbon fiber gel pads. Where is the best place to buy the carbon fiber?
    I am looking for gas tank, dash panel, side panels, access panels and kick panel carbon fiber. I understand
    that it comes in several dimensions. Which would offer the most distinct look?
    Finally which would hold up the best.
    Opinions/experience greatly appreciated.

    Real carbon fiber is expensive, preformed and used in high-performance light-weight applications like aircraft and space-craft.

    "Carbon Fiber" is a design imprinted on many products.

    So, what are you really asking about?

    I got some Carbon fiber from Wrap my Spider. Great customer service and products. I only got a glove box kit to keep it scratch free.

    I am aware of real carbon fiber and what is required to use. I was not that clear on my questions.
    It all pertains to over the counter printed carbon fiber products or the jell coated type. Which most
    closely reflects actual carbon fiber and does color other than black show different.

    Do appreciate the response.

    I think he's asking about the different substrates that are used in various carbon-fiber-lookalike products.
