Jogons Carbon Fiber - C8 - Interest?

[vacek]

All,

I have forged an amazing relationship with the guys at Jogon ( jogon carbon (https://www.jogoncarbon.com/) ) they are the best on the market for CF aftermarket accessories.

So much so that I have the capability to buy from them at a significant discount , and relay those savings to everyone here that may be interested.

It would be in the form of group buys … so minimum purchase of 5 per item … with discounts getting better with volume.

Would anyone be interested in exploring further? I can promise you won’t find Jogon Carbon for a better deal, anywhere.

We could pick a few items , and go from there of course with pricing up front.

Thoughts?

Carbon engine panels! Even though they blocked me because I wanted to return defective pieces, lol.

Any thing for C8 Z06?

All kinds of, check the website and let me know what might be of interest.

It If I can garner enough interest for
Some specific items , we can get a great deal on 5+ of anything there .

I have the price list in hand, and know the deals are awesome.

I might be interested in a few items but I would like to see what their CF looks like. The weave and finish on their website is sometimes different...some look real and some look fake.

I hear you - and I’ve gone down the carbon fiber rabbit hole myself lately and have learned a fair bit.

Where possible, I only go with dry carbon fiber for my own C8. The difference comes down to the manufacturing process. Dry CF (like what Jogon uses for higher end finished pieces) is made from pre-impregnated carbon fiber sheets cured in an autoclave, which creates a consistent weave, a cleaner finish, and stronger structural integrity. The result is premium, lightweight, and flawless looking carbon.

In contrast, wet CF is typically hand-laid using resin and a brush - meaning it’s cheaper, but also more prone to inconsistencies in both finish and durability. That’s usually what you find on lower-cost listings on eBay, Amazon, etc.

Of course, dry CF does come at a premium - but for me, the quality and look are worth it. Like anything else, it comes down to personal taste and budget.

Sometimes it looks brown to me too...

I would like a set of the CF door speaker covers.
I have the OE interior CF package but the speaker covers were not included,
and I don't care for the covers from the factory.

Jack,
A little discoloration is surely offset by the increased hp and fuel efficiency gained through installation of a carbon fibre key fob cover.

Now that's a mod...

Since we are on the Carbon Fiber Topic, here is some more information I'll share. For no particular reason other than I think it helps understand the 2 different types. Just some things I have read I thought helped explain ....


Dry Carbon Fiber is made by impregnating carbon fiber fabrics with a controlled amount of resin, usually epoxy or phenolic, in a factory setting. The resin is partially cured to allow easy handling and storage. The prepreg material is then cut into sheets or rolls and stored in a cooled area to prevent complete curing. Prepreg carbon fiber requires an oven or autoclave to cure fully and form the final composite part.

Dry Carbon Fiber has several advantages over Wet Carbon Fiber, such as:

• Higher fiber-to-resin ratio, resulting in better mechanical properties and lighter weight
• Better control over resin content and distribution, resulting in consistent quality and performance
• Less waste and environmental impact, as excess resin is removed during the impregnation process
• Cleaner and safer working environment, as resin exposure is minimized

Wet Carbon Fiber is made by applying resin to dry carbon fiber fabrics by hand or machine in a mold. The resin can be epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester. The wet lay-up process involves placing the resin-coated fabrics into a mold and removing air bubbles with a roller or a brush. The resin transfer molding (RTM) process involves injecting resin into a closed mold that contains dry fabrics under pressure. The wet carbon fiber is then cured at room temperature or with heat.

Wet Carbon Fiber has some advantages over prepreg carbon fiber, such as:

• Lower cost, as wet lay-up and RTM processes use cheaper materials and equipment
• More flexibility, as wet lay-up and RTM processes can accommodate complex shapes and large parts

Application	Dry Carbon Fiber	Wet Carbon Fiber
Aerospace	Airframes, wings, propellers	Fuselage panels, interior components
Automotive	Body panels, chassis, spoilers	Bumpers, hoods, fenders
Sports	Bicycles, golf clubs, tennis rackets	Kayaks, surfboards, helmets
Medical	Prosthetics, orthotics, implants	Wheelchairs, braces, splints

I bought this Jogon from Amazon a few months ago.
It looks alright.

 

[vacek]

I bought that also , sitting in my closet waiting for spring.

I think that’s dry if I remember right ?

I took the Pagani manufacturing tour in Italy. Their carbon fiber setup is nuts. I couldn't believe how light the parts were. They also described losing tens of thousands of dollars on their larger pieces if they messed up the base weave. Once that first layer is laid down into the mold, all other work is blind until the final bake. Crazy stuff.

I have officially , secured every single external Dry Carbon Fiber part Jogon (and their design partners) offer.

Excited to share pics, when they all arrive and able.

Front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, boomerangs, rear vent, mirrors, new custom highwing ….

Maybe a few other surprises also !

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Your parts are worth more than your car lol...

 

[vacek]

No they arent, no they arent, no they arent .... (My wife is looking over my shoulder.)

 

[vacek]

When they ship my Carbon parts in a casket, maybe I went a little too far?

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Your wife will nail you into it and write "Return to Sender" on the lid...
