Carbon is expensive to buy then the moulds cost a small fortune not to mention the time to make the item thats what i have found out with doing it
Auto clave is needed to do prepreg and the carbon must be cold or it will go off after 7 days
The laminated parts are as good if its the look you want also on the back seat part it can add strenth to the part and if it gets scratched its easy to repair
this is my laminated part
