Carbon Fiber finish preference with poll!

[smallblock]

Hi everyone,

I want to find out what everyone's preference is when it comes to exposed carbon fiber exterior body parts I am developing for S197 cars. I'm talking about aerodynamic parts such as wings, splitters, canards, and diffusers. The options are satin or gloss clear-coat.

Please participate in the poll above and let us know what you think! Any explanation/reasoning in the thread below is appreciated!

Thanks,

John

Gloss is the way to go, always looks classy.

I like both finishes and I would rock both on my car. I've seen some gloss pieces crack and yellow over time though like HCM Carbon.

i voted gloss, but i think both have their place.

Gloss all the way.
I would love to help design some New Edge pieces.

Gloss for exterior. However I prefer satin finish on interior pieces

Gloss.
I don't think I've ever seen satin " exterior " parts.

Gloss. Satin always looks unfinished to me.
