Review/Information on my large Carbon Fiber purchase from DBCarbon

Hi everyone. I wanted to share information pertaining to both my experience with DBCarbon Designs, as well as their products. I reach out to DBCarbon in my search for carbon fibers parts (since I'm obsessed with carbon fiber). I ultimately was contacted by Daniel from DBCarbon right away. I told Daniel what kind of interior and exterior parts I was looking for, and he told me that his company was in the midst of producing a variety of Macan parts, and also told me that if there were certain other parts I wished to have in carbon fiber, he could work with me on those as well. I ultimately ordered a gamut of CF parts (both interior and exterior) from Daniel. The parts are ALL OEM PARTS that DB wraps in carbon themselves. This way, there are relatively few fitment issues.

The parts ordered arrived directly at my installation shop (Kartunz in Pleasanton, CA) via DHL. Parts arrived within a week from Germany. The parts were all wrapped super well (which is great since the box arrived with a couple of small areas where the box was punctured -- it was a long trip for the parts after all).

Once I finally made my installation appointment, I began to install a variety of the parts. All the parts fit great. Some of the larger parts, like the rear diffuser and the front OEM grille in carbon required a little finesse, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I've received TONS of compliments from people about all the carbon, and the great thing is that the carbon weave on the parts that DB produced matched Porsche's OEM weave, which is different from interior to exterior sot that they integrate into the car seamlessly. So far, after a few months, all is still good with the parts and no issues with the clear coat or anything else.

All in all, I ordered the following parts:

Interior:
Center console/armrest panel
Steering wheel control button panels
Sports Chrono dash panel
Entire steering column surround
Gauge cluster surrounds (top and bottom)
Smoker's tray cover
Parking brake panel in CF
Small panels behind interior door handles

Exterior:
Rear diffuser
Rear spoiler
Entire 2 piece front lip section
Entire center grille (accommodated the forward facing radar sensor)
DRL (daytime running light) surrounds
Side mirror shells (top and bottom)

All in all, very happy with the parts, and since I ordered so many, Daniel gave me a great deal. If you have any questions, PM me or contact DB Carbon at contact@db-design-group.com
Ask for Daniel too, and he'll take care of you!

I don't make any commission and am not affiliated with them. Just want to try to help us Macan guys find good carbon parts and help out a good company.

I like Kartunz in Pleasanton too. They have installed my BlackVue camera systems in my cars. They do good work.
