Padding or covering Carbon seats?
the_fbi - 21/8/05 at 01:49 PM

With a carbon fibre or fibreglass seat, which has no fabric covering, what is the best way to finish them?

The "outside" of the seat is the nice carbon finish, but the inside is raw, whilst it may be comfy as it is, ideally I'd like some kind of padded covering.

What do people normally do?

Leave it as it is...

Hmm

Whilst the carbon side looks great, the raw side looks a bit, raw.

Looks like an awful lot of glass, and pitiful amount of carbon. Hope you didn't pay too much!

I believe they are Reverie seats so quality should be OK

They cost the same as fibreglass ones would have, so can't complain.

I was very surprised how comfortable fibre glass seats were. Give them a go as is.
