Q. What are the pros and cons between "dry carbon" and "wet carbon"?
A. Dry vs. wet involves completely different processes of manufacturing. You can find extensive articles about the details on the web if you do a general search. As for pros and cons, here is a brief summary: Simply put, with dry carbon, you get the most strength and save the most weight. The weaves and quality are more consistent, but they are generally 3 to 4 times more expensive than wet carbon. Wet carbon products are hand-laid, and are more prone to small defects like wavy weaves and tiny bubbles. They do not save as much weight as their dry carbon counterparts. But on the plus side, you get an incredible combination of visual attraction, weight-deduction, and most importantly, price. All products you see on our website are wet carbon. Wet carbon products are also the most popular and most commonly referred to as just " carbon fiber"

 

Major thing is weight reduction, which is why people use CF in the first place. Strength is also more apparent in dry carbon.

Example:

Wet Carbon Hood 24-26 lbs
Dry Carbon Hood 8 lbs

 

How much for a dry carbon hood?

 

Probably retail 3K.

 

thank you ZlleH and rickdogg

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, don't wanna sound like a smarty pants, but wet carbon fiber hoods, i've been selling here at my shop for bout two years for ViS, and I've weighed a few, and the most one weighs is about 15 pounds. Haven't dealt with dry carbon yet.

 

Really? Which model VIS hood weighs 15 lbs for the Z? If this is true, I am sure that would be a good selling point for Z owners as VIS is not very expensive. The lightest Wet carbon hood I have seen documented for the Z is 14lbs for the Varis
