Question Question on Carbon Fiber parts

Hey I was hoping somebody can answer what may be a noob/simple question.

I'm looking to buy the Carbon fiber front lip and B-Style trunk lip from JL Motoring, and also the rear diffuser from Euroteck. My question is are they gonna match? Does the CF from JL differ at all from Euroteck in style, color, or Finnish??? I just want to make sure they are all gonna be the same charcoal grayish color so my trunk lip don't look different from the diffuser.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's hard to say. There are different types of Carbon Fiber weave (2x2,1x1 etc). If the weave patterns are the same slight color differences should not be that noticeable unless the parts are next to each other. It also depends on the clear coat they are using. Some are crystal clear while others can appear a little cloudy to me. Top quality should be like glass. I would ask both vendors for some close up shots so you can compare the weave. Good luck

Thanks. I see u went with Euroteck. Is it 2x2? I know the JL says it's 2x2 on their site but Euroteck doesn't say.

I just recieved the JL CF and it looks good. I don't have the 3m tape so cant put it on yet, but the fitment is good.
