It's "carbon fiber style (UVP) coating".

No, it's not carbon fiber.

I always laugh at these auctions that offer "JDM-style" or "CF-style" or even "Insert-brand-name-here-style" parts. I mean, if it was carbon fiber or JDM, they'd just say CARBON FIBER or JDM. No "style" needed.

These are almost as good as the ones that sell "information". Those are great.

At that price, its certainly not solid CF...probably not even a top layer. CF is like 30 bucks per linear yard...it wouldn't be able to be sold that cheap :(

"style"=cheap knock-off crap.

my number one car rule is:never buy anything that ends in style.

lol, ill probably get it if i can determine what it looks like. If its the black/silver checkerboad sticker stuff then i dont want that, but if its like fiberglass with 1 ply of carbon fiber over it then thats fine with me, im gangster like that.
