Sorry, i'm not really familiar with fake vs real carbon fiber. I understand where you're coming from and gladly prefer the real deal of any product opposed to the knock off. Are you going to make these for the 09 GE? I'm waiting to order the rear badgeless garnish in carbon from you as well as these mirrors in hopes of getting a combined shipping deal (when these items become available for 09s).

Do you or can you make/wrap the b pillar trim? Similar to the OEM paste on carbon pieces. I have been interested in getting them but I'm not really font of the fact that they say FIT at the bottom in white. PM me a price for the mirror covers and a price for the b pillar trim and mirror covers combined please, when you get a chance. Thanks

Tada! Its not finished but its pictures I took of the cloth being draped over the product, and then saturated in a nice coat of resin. Tomorrow it will be sanded down, re coated, sanded again, clear coated, sanded, buffed, and polished

Yea I looking for something like that too... cuz I want the CF b pillar and the OEM visors too... but I think the OEM CF b pillars are a little on the thick side... don't know if you can make something thinner...
but actually I did just see someones car yesterday with both visor and pillars installed... it did look like it was pushing out a bit

You mean the exterior visor trim? I can do something real thin if you guys want. 1 layer of CF with a black painted back so that it looks real clean.

I would be down for that! I wanted both the B pillars and the Visors. I have the visors but didn't install them yet.

I'd be willing to wait if you can come up with something to cover my B-pillars and would work with the visors.

Oh forgot to mention, I'd love to have the rear quarter black plastics covered in CF as well, so that why it'll be matching with the B-pillars. Never understood why they made CF for the pillars and none for the rears.

I posted a reply to your pm saying. Combined hrs of me and the other worker at the shop. We have about 80 - 200 hrs a week (thats combined) that we do our work in. We take on so much becuase in the time it takes for products to dry and cure, we can be working on something else, and then when those are done, we still have some time to work on another thing while we are waiting for the first thing to cure. Everything is fine ANyways half our threads are GI threads that dont go much anywhere. The other half are threads that we are getting interest now, so that in a month or so when we have the time, we can start those products. And the products we have going already, we have plenty of time to get everything done
