No photos, I would expect some in April though for most of the aero. At least you can pre-order to buy it, GM has lots and lots of carbon aero photos but you can't buy any lol. What a situation

Why would you want forged carbon and why would you pay more than woven carbon (serious question)? I am not an expert but my understanding is woven fabric is stronger than forged carbon and the strength can be better controlled by the directionality of the fiber layup. Its an interesting idea and I would think for high volume or complex moldable parts you might make things cheaper. But for something like aero, I think you want strong, light weight and the force vectors are well known.
