Carbon Fiber Addicts Anonymous Thread

[Evolvd]

Yea between bigcartel and Trufiber those are the options I've found. I'm I correct that s550parts and Carbon Cartel are the same owner? Not great reviews in this monster thread but maybe thats all been worked out over the years.

Being a perfectionist, I want the weave on all the parts to match and have some reservations about using different manufacturers.

Not to my knowledge. S550Parts and Carbon Fiber Kings are the same company. Carbon Fiber Kings does the steering wheels you see on their website.
Actually he gets all his stuff from China. I have one of his wheels and awaiting some other pieces to come back.

I have a suspicion many places are selling the same part. I agree with wanting things to match but I found this on ebay for $20 so I bought it for now. The more I look at it the more I think its just the same piece.

I second your suspicion as being correct. I have that same piece from ebay, along with the matching 3 pieces for the driver's side. Individual companies just mark up pieces like this, l.E. American Muscle.

I bought a couple of interior So called CF pieces from eBay (China made) and they turned out to be Hydro dipped plastic which does not have the 3D Carbon Fiber look. When I contacted them they seemed to be shocked I knew the difference. But, I did get a couple of pieces which were Real CF. Good Luck

Just received my carbon fiber console and knee pad overlays from Forgitec in matte finish. Initial placement fit since I just got home after a business trip. I couldn't wait to unbox and check it out. Will be test fitting and installing for the weekend. This is going to be a tricky install due to where the tape is.

Could you get some close up pics of that matte finish?

Close enough?

Love the look of Matte. I would’ve definitely gone this route for the interior had it been available when my addiction started lol

Knee Pads are installed but, I am not happy with the double sided tape the provided. The tape is not 3M. For as much as they are charging for the pieces which, are beautiful and provide a 98% fitment, they will not receive a 5 start rating from me. I give the product for Forgitec , 4.5 starts. Looks great but, for the price they need to provide a better execution. I will be holding off installing the console until I replace the tape provided. I will also be reinstalling the knee pads as the tape is not holding as it should.

Forgitec 4.5 stars - For the cost, they should have come with 3M tape. Fitment is about 98%. There are a couple of gaps here and there that aren't noticeable but, I know they are there. There is also no way I will install the console in place and I will need to remove it in order to insure the overlay sits perfectly. I will also be setting up the tape so, I can pull the tape off in stages in order to insure the tape sets up properly and pulls the overlay down into place.

Thank you Jack!

I did receive you emails and am very appreciative of your support. To my fellow Mustang enthusiasts, the team at Forgitec reached out to me immediately and provided support to ensure I am 100% satisfied. I consider this uncommon in today's environment and am very pleased with their attention to customers like me. At this point, I am 101% satisfied with the team at Forgitec. I will be ordering again from them shortly to complete my interior needs!

I went ahead and bought the new matt CF dash from Forgitec 12 days ago and still waiting for the dispatch email! I can't wait ! They do offer a great customer support especially Chris. Hope the new add on will match the Alcantara interior perfectly.

The matte finish looks great next to my Miko suede. I would say it is a lighter color with the matte finish versus the gloss. But, the 3D effect looks awesome.

Back in the CF club following my track/road car rebuild.
Cutting into the brand new CF was a bit daunting..
