Having second thoughts now, waiting to see pics installed. Not sure if its the weave but I can see a line down the middle of it in a couple pics.

It would look great if someone did it right. The weave looks pretty bad in some spots, the spots you'll see most. That's a bummer. They charge how much for that?

They made it so people have a fix for their bubbling sail panels, and most people would have it painted when they put it on.

No point in spending the extra for a CF panel if you're gonna paint it. Don't say weight reduction because a piece that small and thin wont be much.

They make a none carbon one for replacment for much cheaper than this one. They make this for show and I agree with this not being what I was expecting. Some spots look dark and miss alighned. 700 is a bit much

You still have to paint carbon fiber with a special clear coat if you want to keep that look without it fading, and anyone who throws on random carbon fiber pieces is a ricer so...
