I'm close to my build locking on a TTS cab, and looking for best aftermarket carbon options.

I've specced the factory carbon mirrors, and was hoping to coordinate with aftermarket carbon rear side air intakes and maybe a rear diffuser/wing

I've seen some great pictures of DB Carbon products here and there on this forum.

*Can anyone comment on the DB Carbon products, specifically in regard to how it matches the factory carbon?

Thanks

I have used DB for many parts in different 911’s always satisfied with the superior quality and spot on with OEM.

MA Carbon is very good but they are expensive.

The OEM and DB Carbon parts are installed next to each other by my MT and they match perfectly. I’ve posted them here before and they are using my installation photo on their website to show the perfect match. No worries with DB Carbon.

WOW - is all I can say about DB Carbon thus far.

My car isn't here yet, but I just received my DB Carbon order today.

The quality/craftsmanship is perfect.

I was thinking about ordering the OEM Carbon Fiber steering wheel trim with my build, but could not get over the fact that the ring surrounding the airbag is NOT carbon fiber!
Luckily DB Carbon was able to duplicate the GT trim (I personally like the screws) with the center ring now in carbon!





Daniel at DB also sent me a few parts to test and I look forward to reviewing them in this forum in a few weeks!

Shift paddles, air bag surround, drive selector as well as the steering wheel trim all match the OEM Carbon finish perfectly.



DB Carbon is the real deal... can’t go wrong here guys.

In terms of the install...

This not to be attempted without the right size ***** as your going to hear things crack 😅

the results speak for themselves though.

I'm looking at those steering wheel rings and I realize - that's not real carbon fiber, but rather it's somehow printed. Correct? Is the factory carbon trim also just printed, or is it real carbon fiber veneer?

BlitzedTT

The interior Matte Carbon Fiber does not photograph well - definitely not printed - this is the real deal.

the reason I ask is that the inside of the steering ring has no pattern at all, is uniformly black and has molding marks that would be difficult to do in CF. The other parts, I can’t tell one way or the other, but believe you.

Ah gotcha - so what I believe Daniel and team does for some of the replacement parts is to take the stock parts, sand them down/prep then, and then overlay carbon fiber weave and then coat them.
Purely cosmetic. We're not trying to save weight here

Making a new mold would probably not enable the exact fitment that covering stock parts get you.

So yes, it is a "veneer", but it is not printed or a water transfer or 3M vinyl like the fake stuff out there.

Hey!
can confirm that DB carbon makes amazing parts!! Way more affordable than tech art and quality is superb. I recently made a video on their parts

I'll also vouch for DB Carbon's quality and OEM carbon match (for interior parts, at least). I have his shifter surround pieces installed immediately up against the factory carbon trim and they are indistinguishable unless you knew they were different sources and you REALLY studied them in just the right light. Nobody would ever question whether they came from the factory.
