Default Carbon Fiber

Hello Guys
Sorry if this question was asked before,I am new to the corvette world.
I am getting a C8 2 LT orange with back convertible.
My order was accepted by GM.

I have ordered some carbon pieces on ebay
for now just the carbon console transmission .
any reputable website you guys recommend .
I know ebay sells a lot of fake carbon fiber .

I checked paragon I think they are way too high .
I guess we can't complain when you drive a 100k car.

I am also planning to add a carbon fiber bodykit

What did you add to your C8 2024 ?
Thanks

Ebay sells a lot of Chinese stuff that is rebranded by others and sold for a huge markup. Hence, Paragon. You'll find die hards here that say that the stuff you buy in the US is superior. Yes, these companies usually choose the better quality stuff and either perfect it, add to it, or simply repackage it. I purchased a front splitter, side skirts, wheel spacers, and splash guards off ebay. All of it cost about $600 and you'll never be able to tell it wasn't "name brand" or that it's not real CF. I'm now looking at all the CF bits for the interior.
Ebay is an easy return if it doesn't look good. So give it whirl and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I installed the ABS knock-offs courtesy of eBay. Close enough to the "real" stuff for me and less than 1/4 the price...

Victory.......

My buddy, Steve Garrett and I have really gone all in on Carbon Fiber..... and have experienced many different vendors along the way. I will say that for interior pieces, I'm really big on Jogon 2013 on eBay. Mila is the best ~

Here's a thread of mine from the "other" forum showing most of my carbon fiber additions over time. You have to keep scrolling down as I add to it as I've added stuff.

Happy to help you in any way I can.....

Your picture is a better ad than the one on their website!

I guess I'm the opposite. I want to carbon flash everything.

I agree. I really don't want my car to look like a zebra.
