Got my carbon parts. A bit disappointed. They look pretty good, there are some bubbles as described. More cheezed off about the poor fit. The holes don't line up very well and I've had to spend time filing the holes larger and filing resin off the back of the parts to make them fit ok.
Once I do some more work on them, they'll look pretty good (much better than the normal black plastic). It's just a pain that I have to put that much work into making them fit.
But they're not lighter than standard parts, they've been made like fibre glass parts, not true prepreg carbon. As I said the holes don't line up which is a pain in the arse and some of the holes weren't the right size.
So I wouldn't recommend these parts to other people. If I'd paid full price of over $300 for them I'd be pretty pissed off. So glad I only paid about $100 for them.
