From what I have seen with the exception of a few companies like Mode Carbon (I could even be wrong about them) only OEM companies like BMW make full carbon fiber parts.
Take the OEM BMW Carbon Fiber mirror caps. They are nice shiny carbon fiber on the outside and sexy raw carbon fiber on the inside. The whole item is legit 100% carbon fiber.
Now there is some other knock off brand selling carbon fiber mirror caps (technosomething?) well the exterior looks like carbon fiber to me, but the interior of the cap is plain plastic black. Are they real carbon fiber at all? Are they 10% layer of glossed carbon fiber and the rest is plain plastic?
What is everyones thoughts on carbon fiber?
