Eurspec dry carbon fiber spare tyre cover on a G63!
Remember this G63? We previously upgraded it with the Facelift Conversion Kit and a full repaint. Now, the owner wanted to spice things up again! This time, we went for a Eurspec dry carbon fiber rear spare tire cover and added the OEM Night Package badges. Sometimes it's the little touches that make all the difference - what do you guys think of this subtle but fresh upgrade?

Here are some points of comparison. the conclusion is dry carbon is obviously better than normal carbon, just the price will be higher. but now i think not that much different.
1. Dry Carbon Fiber (Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber)
- Manufacturing Process: Uses pre-impregnated (pre-preg) carbon fiber sheets, where the resin is already infused into the fibers before molding.
- Curing: Requires autoclave (high-pressure oven) for curing, ensuring minimal voids and maximum strength.
- Weight: Lighter than wet carbon due to optimized resin content.
- Strength & Stiffness: Higher strength-to-weight ratio, preferred for performance and racing applications.
- Surface Finish: Smoother and more consistent finish, often used in visible parts.
- Cost: More expensive due to complex production and autoclave requirements.
2. Wet Carbon Fiber (Wet Layup Carbon Fiber)
- Manufacturing Process: Carbon fiber fabric is manually layered and hand-coated with resin (usually epoxy or polyester).
- Curing: Cures at room temperature or with basic heat, without high-pressure autoclaves.
- Weight: Heavier due to excess resin and potential air bubbles.
- Strength & Stiffness: Lower strength compared to dry carbon, but still stronger than many metals.
- Surface Finish: May require additional sanding/polishing due to uneven resin distribution.
- Cost: Cheaper and easier to produce, common in aftermarket parts and DIY projects.
