FYI for All
Unless there are reported problems with the LFA and its carbon components, this is most likely not true. The same factory and process are being used to build the components for the RCF carbon model.
The carbons have been slated to arrive in Feb or early March for some time now.
The carbons have been slated to arrive in Feb or early March for some time now.
... But I will say 99% of the LFA's have PAINTED CARBON FIBER.
So there wouldn't be any issues during final QC and none after delivery.
They problems they are working on involves the Exposed Carbon Fiber fit & finish..
Remember these panels have been or are being made weeks / months in advance of the cars assembly..
If they can't get it right.. They are not going to delivery them till they do..

That's right! I can do carbon fiber overlay myself at a fraction of the cost. And still look just as good in pics. ^ -
