FOSTA Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have just purchased a half carbon trd spoiler and the blade has a painted black band running around all edges, I'm gussing it's just to hide to joins where the carbon meets each other. My question is where can a purchase a carbon blade that has no joins (no black band) If one is available? :/ Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My one from Knight Racer has no visible joins, etc. I dunno if they can sell you the blade on its own though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hummm I've asked them if they can sell me one and if they will send me a picture of it, They said yes to selling me one at a cost of £200 but no to the picture! :/ This is what mine looks like with the thick black band, if possible I want one without the band.

Josh Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 That looks like a pretty lazy job in the picture. Just looks like they've lay some carbon fibre on either side and not even thought about the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
