I know the Sparco Evos hood is Dry CF (AAR) makes its. I got two questions

1. What other MFG's make a DRY CF hood?
2. Where can I buy one?

 

1.nobody else for evo's
2.only threw AAR i beleave,but i'm sure any vendor can get it for ya.

the 1 thing i notice everytime i have seen the sparco evo with the AAR cf products of the car, the dry carbon looks bad from being in the sun.spots,and other weird stuff going on when you really look at it.

 

hmm never seen the car in person before. thanks for the input. id still like a price on it though. AAR website doesnt have anything on it

 

i thought the hood was 1500,and the trunk was like 1300

 

AAR does not even make it anymore

as for dry carbon, I can check some of the JDM manufacturers.....but nothing springs to mind

 

I thought the C-west Louvered hood and the trunk were dry carbon?

 

thanks adam my other chioce was the cwest hood / trunk could you get me a shipped price on that as well as a lead time on the delivery to 60605

 

Sorry for the newb question... what's the diff between DRY CF and regular CF?

 

Dry CF is basically CF material with the resin impregnated into the fibers. It shaped usually over a mold vaccumm bagged and baked. This baking process melts the pre impregnated resin and creates a the solid form. Usually weighs less and i generally accepted as the greater quality of the two processes.

Wet CF is shaped and resin is poured over it, making a solid form.

Dry is much cleaner looking not that quality cant exist with the wet stuff though. I prefer the look of Dry

 

because of the process (as nemesis pointed out) dry is not only lighter, but stronger

i agree it does look better (doesn't have the super glossy "wet" look) too

edit: i should mention the "dry" process is what is used in high end applications, ie aircraft and nautical use

 

I would guess then that the CF on the wing is "wet". I'm sure Mitsu would go with the easier/cheaper method.

 

The sparco evo's hood and trunk lid are in pretty bad shape. They are sun beaten and worn pretty badly and if i were the owner i would paint over them.


Here it is last saturday in ohio

The exhaust shield is the wet look, the trunk and the hood is the dry.

 

yeah. that looks pretty bad

 

I think Varis makes a couple of CF hoods - one of which is dry CF; $$$$$.

Call Bulletproof?
