Carbon Fiber Look vs Real Carbon Trim
Real carbon fiber is light and expensive; carbon-look trim delivers the same visual for a fraction of the cost. For cosmetic door sills and bumper accents, the look-alike is the smarter buy.
Cost vs benefit
Real carbon adds little function on a decorative sill; the look-alike saves 90% with the same appearance.
Where real carbon matters
Only on weight-sensitive performance parts; everywhere else, look-alike wins.
