carbon vs wood

31shifter · 06-17-2023, 10:17 AM

Carnage…

A small piece of wood on the freeway (piece of pallet a couple inches across) hit my RW carbon front splitter and the wood won. Don’t think it should have from the size of it, but it did.

Replaced it with a Suvneer front splitter, and impressed with the fit, quality of the fiber, and finish.

I have OCD and I think it’s close enough to both OEM and Vorsteiner that 95% wouldn’t be able to tell.

First is against Vorsteiner grille, second the OEM brake duct inlet:
