I hate to say it, but your the one that sounds stupid right now, DGH. Carbon Fiber is not that expensive at all... it is the tooling and manufacturing process that can make it expensive. The reason manufacturer's charge so much for carbon fiber is because the consumers are willing to pay for it. It is actually quite cheap to bring these parts in from China, especially if there is existing tooling. I currently work with 9 different speaker manufacturer's in China that all deal with and supply carbon fiber (as well as fiberglass) speaker components and there is VERY little cost different between the two. You should just stop trying to make yourself sound like you actually know what your talking about.

Now all that said, I do believe that this unit is made with inexpensive polyester resin, as opposed to more expensive epoxy resin. The finish is not as clear as I have seen with epoxy resins... This does make the parts cheaper, but the epoxy resin is really only an issue when the part is under extreme stress and flexes, which can cause the polyester resin to crack. I'm not too concerned with that since this is just an engine cover.

Yeah, it's always never ceases to amaze me what some people will go through just to make themselves sound like an idiot naysayer.
Oh well, guess there's one in every croud. Thanks for the nice comments, though, Robby... they are well appreciated! I am very happy with it. The fitment is great, it's a little thin, but it's still pretty solidly made... plus, I think it looks great too!

Lol not this again uga... btw when are you getting your lights in? I wanna see installed pics
2G, that's a sick engine cover...how much did it run you if you don't mind me asking (you can PM if needed). Don't even bother with that dgh guy, he's just a negative "know it all". Plus, even if it wasn't fully CF, who gives a ****...it still looks sick

What's up with the headlights, UGA? Also, you have any pics of your JL sub installed? I'm gonna add a single 10" or 12" in the trunk sometime soon... the factory Bose woofers in the doors don't even get close to low enough.
Thanks for the nice comments on the engine cover, Borna. I'll send you a PM with the info you asked for.

Wow!!! Those headlights are bad a$$. Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure this has been said before, but I'm gonna say it again... uga, you better posts some really good pics and all the details when you get those lights finished... you have a bunch of us waiting very patiently for the results.
