the reason is simple, these are NOT carbon fibre.
the company is not missleading anybody as they say in at least 2 places that they wet lay carbon fibre over fibreglass (a common practice) but please dont think that these are carbon fibre....they are not.
a lot of companys are doing this, they are fibreglass, with a very thin layer of carbon fibre "wrapped" over the fibreglass.
pure woven carbon fibre is very strong and light, these are not strong and can snap as fibreglass does.
wolf in sheeps clothing im afraid.
you get what you pay for in this game.

my reply was not about strength etc, it was the O/P had asked why it was so cheap for carbon fibre.....ergo.........
i think upwards of $500 for fancy fibreglass is crazy.

Gotcha. I'm in agreement, but it's easier to swallow than the OEM CF interior $$$$.

Looks good.. only piece i see thats missing is the one for the ignition key.
Id give it shot if i had an extra $1k to blow today.. Mine has the factory cf steering wheel and shifter. This would look good in the car.

seen an OEM CF center console in a sports car pulling off the plastic, at least they said it was OEM... I noticed it because the ashtray cover was getting hung up. I am sure it unwarrantable but it is still a bummer that the vehicle has to return out of service to have it addressed
