Is this truth? Dealers pawning off fake carbon fiber parts?

If it's vinyl wrap carbon fiber but listed and advertised as carbon fiber then, it's fake. If it's just a wrap, then they should tell the buyer.

Carbon Fiber

Dealer here in Plano is doing the carbon fiber 'dip' on parts like the side mirrors and hood vent, but as noted in the article they tell you it's not real carbon fiber.

I've also heard that the 4D CF looks the Best, over the 3D & i think the newsest one is 6D but was wondering what some of you think if you've seen the Comparisons!
