In that case if they have the skills maybe render the matte versus gloss forged CF as well.
Forged is just chopped fiber. I would get forged if I was going to paint. Otherwise I'd be looking at cf weave

I don’t know, the forged looks cool unpainted. Lambo started the trend as they were the ones who developed it and had it unpainted on their vehicles. I’ll make it easy and just get both. I’ll never be able to make up my mind between the two.

Renderings are OK but I'm hoping Terrance will either send us photos of completed versions of the Python and maybe even one installed so folks can decide.

Trying to create a matte finish in PS might be a challenge, too...that's why I'm hoping for photos. <hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink> :-)

Our mold is complete! The first forged carbon hood vent has actually been completed and is awaiting finishing in the CNC fixture. I am going to build a 2x2 carbon weave one also for you guys to see.

If all goes according to plan next weekend we should be able to do the final fit test and show you both the forged and 2x2 twill vents.

This is the chopped/forged carbon straight from the mold. 2x2 twill is next. You will notice this piece has a bit of a hybrid look to it.

I will explain later and have lots more to share soon.....

Holy crap Terrance! These could not have come at a better time for me. My car starts production for wide body next week. This is going to look freaking mint! I am ready for my invoice buddy.
