New Catto Carbon Fiber Spinner
I just received my very nice Catto Carbon Fiber Spinner. I can't wait to get this installed. The carbon fiber pattern is amazing. It comes complete, cut, and ready to install. They even included the screws!! Thanks Craig and Nicole.

WOW!!! That looks even nicer than the Carbon Fiber Spinner they sent me 3yrs ago. And here I thought they couldn't possibly make them look any better than the one I have.

Now I wish I'd gone that route instead of the standard Vans spinner!

Sleek! Expect at least 10 kts gain Rocky. How many gallons of gas does it cost?  |

Is that a pistol in the background in case someone tries to steal that work of art?

I didn't notice that it was in the picture, but your comment is correct!
I will admit the spinner was not cheap, but worth every penny to me. I am going to clear coat it for protection, but no paint!

You can most likely find a carbon fiber pattern to wrap the plane with

Carbon
Not really sure it is the best place for unfinished carbon fiber. Yes it is strong but it chips easily and does not handle abrasion well. Inspect often. You'll see most carbon spinners are painted. WW is one example.
I can't find it but I have a picture of a standard Van's spinner that was dipped using water transfer graphics with carbon pattern. Looks fantastic and you wouldn't know it wasn't carbon.
I love carbon!!!

If it starts looking bad after clear coat, I may have it dipped in the fake carbon fiber! Ha! That would be something. I saw some wheels dipped in snakeskin decal on the show Wheeler Dealers and it looked pretty sharp.
