Curing it under heat and pressure in an autoclave consolidates the laminate and drives out trapped air that would otherwise show as flaws in the finished surface. Other processes introduce the resin at the mold, so the ratio is set during layup rather than before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a narrow part with a long run and a visible top edge, which is the hardest combination to keep straight. On a strip this shape, any softness in the laminate shows as a line that does not sit true against the grille below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Carbon Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss (Standard)\u003c\/strong\u003e — our standard high-gloss 2x2 twill weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — same weave, low-sheen matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — red-tinted carbon weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — blue-tinted carbon weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForged Carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e — marbled, high-strength forged carbon pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: Matte, Red, Blue, and Forged Carbon finishes are non-refundable once production has started.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCurrent Lead Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent estimated lead time is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e55-65 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e from order to ship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feral Auto","offers":[{"title":"Standard Gloss","offer_id":49280641007860,"sku":"FRL-S650DHUGT","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Carbon (+$75)","offer_id":49280642253044,"sku":"FRL-S650DHUGT-MTE","price":774.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red Carbon (+$150)","offer_id":49288239710452,"sku":"FRL-S650DHUGT-RED","price":849.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Carbon (+$150)","offer_id":49288239743220,"sku":"FRL-S650DHUGT-BLU","price":849.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Forged Carbon (+$250)","offer_id":49280642285812,"sku":"FRL-S650DHUGT-FRG","price":949.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/6550\/6036\/files\/dhuppergrille_8240cbc1-b2cd-44d1-b5c5-e814e79b7983.jpg?v=1788496278","url":"https:\/\/feralauto.com\/products\/2024-2027-ford-mustang-dark-horse-carbon-fiber-upper-grille-trim-s650","provider":"Feral Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
