CF DCT Paddles

I bought a pair. These are legit. Good quality! Haven't installed them yet though.

I have these

They are plastic with a CF-like mesh

Actual CF paddles would be really really thin or hollow. These are plastic cored junk

I think they look quite nice. For $36 I can't complain.

Agreed. It's not like making that piece out of CF will save some absurd amount of weight anyway, except maybe that of your wallet...

From what I know is that aliexpress sells only cheap crap made in China .
They sell also CF exhaust tips for our cars , but after 3 months the CF turned yellow and fell apart by the heat !
In short...It's cheap crap from China man !
I'm sorry ..
