A. Dry vs. wet involves completely different processes of manufacturing. You can find extensive articles about the details on the web if you do a general search. As for pros and cons, here is a brief summary: Simply put, with dry carbon, you get the most strength and save the most weight. The weaves and quality are more consistent, but they are generally 3 to 4 times more expensive than wet carbon. Wet carbon products are hand-laid, and are more prone to small defects like wavy weaves and tiny bubbles. They do not save as much weight as their dry carbon counterparts. But on the plus side, you get an incredible combination of visual attraction, weight-deduction, and most importantly, price. All products you see on our website are wet carbon. Wet carbon products are also the most popular and most commonly referred to as just " carbon fiber"</TD></TR></TABLE>

Re: (Atheist)
funny to hear the term dry and wet carbon, it's all from the crazy Japanese to engrish translators....blakes=brakes, etc etc etc.
There's no such thing as dry or wet carbon in the literal sense. With the multiple ways of manufacturing a composite part, people should familiarize themselves with the various processes and then ask the retailer (if they know) how that composite part was manufactured. Any manufacturer would be more than willing to disclose information about their product if they were truly willing to sell their parts to an educated customer. Some major factors involved in the manufacture of composites: weave, resin, curing process, quality of mold, etc etc etc.
Google diffuser & automotive aerodynamics and you should get a good knowledge base of information to read up on.
