~ Another Accolade Thread ~ Carbon Fiber

yes indeed folks, its another Accolade thread..

We are in the process of engineering gauge face panels precision cut..

And I would like to ask the forum members what Carbon Fiber Twill Pattern looks best ?

There are so many weave types, any insight is much appreciated.

to me, as long as the cf is straight and not crooked, it's all good- personally i think you should follow the same one as on the wing.

That's my opinion too, but I've seen plenty of show car owners complaining about getting a carbon fiber hood that looks one way, and then the (insert other cf part here) has a different weave and doesn't "match" in their opinion.

Accolade, my suggestion to you is to be consistent with your weaves, so people will know if they buy all accolade carbon fiber products, they will all "match". That's not my personal opinion (I just want to know how much it weighs), but it's what I have observed in my 2.5 years on this forum from other people, and you're trying to please them and not me (since I almost never buy show mods)
