damn.. 500?

$450. It's not easy to form CF.

Who's got one?

I mean based on what I've seen of people doing CF themselves, it really doesn't seem that hard to lay the fibers. The hard part is the resin and then the finish.

Without this becoming a discussion of laying CF, it might *seem* easy to lay straight lengths, but I've seen differences between different manufacturers in terms of following edges/curves/contours.

In my opinion, the OSIR one seemingly has slightly better contours than oCarbon. Both OSIR and oCarbon pieces are still amazing and beautiful, but I'm a bit particular and I just happen to prefer how the OSIR piece looks.

So, I'm in the market for the OSIR CF Dash Pieces. Also willing to do an even trade for my current oCarbon dash pieces. Thanks all!

Are you selling your current oCarbon pieces? I've been eyeing either one for a long time. I emailed Matt a while ago asking about the Osir pieces and he said they use some kind of inferior process. Since you're used to his pieces, are you concerned the Osir finish might not look as good despite the more precise contour? Is is a lot cheaper than what Matt is charging.

Do you have nav or non-nav? I was looking into ungluing the black backing portion and I'm afraid I might break something or mess it up when I rip it off. The Osir pieces require you to use your own backing.

Edit: FYI, $382.50 at zmaxautosport.com.

I'm considering selling the oCarbon pieces for the OSIR.

IDEALLY, I'd like to compare the two side by side, but don't want to pull the trigger on buying the OSIR new unless I have a buyer for my oCarbon pieces. I don't mind letting the oCarbon pieces go for exactly what it costs me to get the OSIR pieces.

I have Nav.

Thanks for the tip! Sending you PM now.
