If it was real carbon fiber, then cool! I'm all for it.

If it's that fake printed plastic crap you find on a cell phone case (which is what it looks like) I'd skip it. Don't waste your money.

It say's C/F finish and they ask for a core. So I'd say it is Painted Plastic.

Once you start looking at the website you realize they require a core and it must just be painted its still is cool looking but IMHO priced a little high and you have to wonder about how it wears. Maybe the hydro dip is where they send the cores and then sell them back to people.

It will wear just like paint, Hydro-dip is clear coated with automotive paint!

It is a carbon fibre wrap over a stock inner. We have installed a couple of the hells foundry kits like that except the tan look instead of the carbon fibre. Definetly excellent work wrapping the inner and looks as good as oem. Haven't seen the carbon in person but everything else of theres has been great quality and fitment. I think the pic you posted looks cool and on a black bike the c/f iner would pop! Hope this helps

I would think you'd need a few other parts with carbon fiber so it wouldn't look out of place. just one piece and not have it repeated doesn't look right. It's actually an art thing, they say to always repeat a color or shape in another area of your work.

Certainly looks good. But I'd have to see it in person prior to investing that kind of $$.

I got a Carbon fiber look switch cap. I think its just enough to make the whole thing look cool. I got it as a dealer take off for $20.00
