Ebay Carbon Fiber Parts

Hello,

Just curious if anyone has purchased CF parts from Ebay vendors? I couldnt find any results with searches. M perf style lip, CF ducts, rear duck spoiler, etc...

CF air ducts as an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/19550830483...3ABFBM3qGA7q9h

I don’t have an example to share that is helpful to answer your question, but, I am starting to think that there are actually only a few carbon fiber manufactures that all the vendors are using…and they all come out of China and are the same ones you find on eBay.

I’ve seen a few posts on here about parts from Dongsai and Saibang that people have liked. Would be interested to know about others too.

Yep totally agree. I ordered the CF ducts above. Less than $300 shipped to my door. I'll post up pics when I get them.

Even this is most probably true, keep in mind that many factories (for many products) run different production and product lines. Grade A passes a higher spec and goes to e.g. OEM customers, Grade B is sold via free market. Especially in China you can experience this for clothes, electronics etc.
