I'm kind of suspicious about any that claim they are carbon fiber. I'd like to see the molds and vacuum system set up in order to create these pieces. I know there is a process that can print a very good carbon finish onto plastic parts. I've worked with carbon fiber and molds and it isn't an easy process.

Also if they are saying that this is white carbon the run because it is just aluminized fiberglass cloth that has the appearance of a carbon fiber finish. Carbon only comes in black.
