Something different from the norm…

[Evolvd]

I’ve never been a huge fan of carbon fiber. Yes it looks nice, but to me it got overplayed and a bit overdone on many cars. I definitely can see it’s appeal but I wanted to do something a bit different. My GT500 came with the CF interior and while it looks nice it just wasn’t what I envisioned for my build.
But then, Terrance from Signature Wheels introduced me to Forged CF. Before I even took delivery of my car I jumped on the opportunity to order his Python hood vent in Forged CF and the finished product is outstanding! (But more on that part coming soon, it’s currently being PPF’d and ceramic coated)
This post is about my interior pieces…I had to change them as the 2x2 weave just isn’t my jam….and Trufiber came to the rescue. These pets arrived today and I can’t wait to install them!

I’ll be installing these once I get the radio trim panel from them which is also forged and the PAC audio OEM integration (Don’t want to be pulling these after install). Also coming is a Forged S-wing

Stay tuned!

I think the world would be boring if we all liked the same things. I am happy that you got your flavor of jam

Speaking of jam, do you know the difference between jam and jelly?

Jelly you buy in the store. Jam is made by your grandma!

I cringed when I saw your question because I knew the answer lol

Lol well I’ve heard that one but my answer is not family friendly

No disrespect, but an observation - looks like a bowling ball pattern.

Lol interesting as I’ve actually seen a 2x2 weave bowling ball but never one in forged.

I think it looks great bro. Finally got my forged vent Monday, and jumped on initial run of forged swing with gurney. I'd love some mirror caps forged to match

Did you order your wing from S550parts? Mine should be here Tuesday.

No I went with function factory

Honestly I think they all get them from the same Chinese manufacturer. The pics provided to me by s550parts were the same as the ones I found on multiple eBay vendors from China.

chopped strand is not forged carbon. Also, are they skinned over plastic/fiberglass or are they pure carbon? Looking close at the edges and brackets, they look like skinning. I've been playing with CF for a couple years and just being in the circles of people much better than me, I'm not sure I'd put skinned stuff on my cars. Save that for Keychains and bobbles.

It’s “forged look” per Trufiber but it is absolutely real carbon fiber. There would be no financial point to using actual forged pieces. I don’t know what “skinning” means but the brackets are actually built into the backside of the piece. But since it’s my money, and I like it, the rest doesn’t matter.

Skinning means they take a stock part and lay the carbon on it with epoxy.

No it’s definitely not that. Here’s a pic of the backside.
