Re: Carbon Fiber - twill vs. DP style (moto)
http://www.uscomposites.com/carbonpage.html
take a look at the descriptions of the different weaves. it also depends on the weight of the fabric.
for 5.7oz plain weave (like DP parts):
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>
Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Standard carbon for any structural or cosmetic purpose. Commonly seen inside Lexus and Audi as their stock carbon interior.</TD></TR></TABLE>
for 5.7 2x2 twill weave:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>
