iCarbon is the only carbon fiber company that produces EVERY PIECE out of PURE carbon. They use the SAME manufacturing methods to the 't' that BMW uses as well. So when you buy iCarbon, you are actually paying (a great price) for carbon fiber, not OVER paying for fiberglass (like with most companies).
When I was in SEMA I got to see SO many things and detail so many companies, in wheels, suspensions, etc... So when comparing the carbon fiber pieces, EVERY other company used FRP in most of their pieces.
When you consider the fact that, for example, Vorsteiner's front lip is $887.00 + shipping and it uses FRP construction, and that iCarbon's front lip normally goes for around $700.00 SHIPPED, and uses PURE carbon construction, then the iCarbon lip is extremely cheap.
It's all in the construction. Just like with wheels, you can have wheels that mimic a forged design but are gravity cast and they will be cheap. And the forged ones will be more expensive because they have better construction and are lighter.
Bottom line is that, in actuality, the iCarbon pieces are worth way more than they are sold for. We CHOOSE to only carry products from companies we believe meet high standards of quality. And our opinion is biased always only TO quality.

Hey DTM you better check at some of your stock to make sure this ain't happening... Not so sure if this is the high standard that you were referring to. Hopefully it's an isolated incident but it looks like the trunk pieces may contain resin defects.
