Update:

Here are additional shots I took today:

 

Hrm that doesn't look dry to me. Looks pretty glossy. I do like 1x1 though! looks good.

 

Thanks. It has a little gloss to it but not that much.

 

Here's a better photo

"Dry" Carbon isn't what the guys over at Seibon want you to think it is...this is actual Dry constructed Carbon. You are probably thinking of the Matte Carbon look, that some of the stateside companies try to pass off as "Dry" In the case of Seibon they just use regular wet laid with flat clear coat on top of it. Which kind of goes with their theme of knocking stuff off I guess. haha

The ARC piece, as well as many of the Carbon Aero pieces on race cars are actually real Dry Carbon pieces. Dry carbon is lighter than wet carbon. Dry carbon is also refered to as prepreg carbon because it has the resin preimpregnated in it. Since it has the perfect amount of resin, with no extra, it's lighter. Wet carbon is refered to as "wet" because you have to add the resin. The excess resin that you add is what makes wet carbon heavier (you can't get all the excess out even if you vacuum infuse wet carbon).

 

Yah once he posted the close up pictures, I could tell it was dry.

Nice dig at Seibon
