I have looked into several suppliers...and I will tell you that for the money, John Borchelt of MA Carbon has the BEST quality for the PRICE. I am rebuilding a GT2 that had a full carbon pkg from the factory. I ordered a matte finish defroster panel from John and was so impressed with the workmanship that I am redoing my entire interior in matte finish carbon from John. Please call him at 650-489-4415. He is very helpful.

John at MAcarbon is by far the best quality/price/customer service.

Thanks for all the props, guys. Suncoast has the best price and service for Carbon Shift *****, and 996 hand brakes, but we do make a killer carbon handbrake for the 997.

Is the matte finish different from the stock OEM finish?

It is. The factory supplies a gloss finish, whereas the matte is is a non-glossy finish and looks like the original carbon fiber parts used in true race cars from the past.

Like Craig said. Matte is really cool, and not as flashy as carbon found in most cars. A little more purposeful looking.

We are not. We do carbon fiber for Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and some Mercedes and BMW.
