There are lots of choices for Carbon Fiber out there, but what seperates good carbon from bad (junk) carbon? or one brand from another?

As the Exclusive distributor of Carbon Dry's Dry Carbon Fiber parts for the Eastern US, I thought I should put together an informative guide to those sexy lightweight pieces everybody loves.

Might want to do a little more research, and talk to some other folks (besides your supplier).

Shouldn't this be in the sponsors section? If this isn't advertising for your own business, I don't know what is....

I agree, painted carbon looks great, but

I have verified the average weight difference betweens otherwise identical carbon pieces, which is fact, not opinion.

So are you trying to say this isn't an ad for your store? It would be one thing if someone had asked if anyone had preference in carbon parts, but this is nothing more than a thinly veiled advertisement for your online store.

Randy is a sponsor Chris.

He pays for the right to post about his store.

It's appropriate for him to post that here.

I know that. Aren't sponsors supposed to tout their products in the sponsor's section?

It's not uncommon for a sponsor to occasionally post a link in the acc&mod section.

If I thought Randall was abusing his privileges I would have said that in my reply to his initial posting.

The fact that the link is more informational (propaganda) than a direct link to his store helps me decide...sure it's advertising...that's why he pays.

If he makes a habit of posting links that are business related I will speak with him.

Is that stuff pre-preg?  I get the same satiny finish on my vac bagged or infused parts that they do.  All a matter of how finished the surface of the mold is really.
