Which carbon fiber weave does everyone prefer?

2x2 twill


or
1x1 standard?

 

2x2

 

depends on what it is. hood, small parts, flat or contoured. In most applications I like the tighter weave

They both look good.

 

2x2 - I have it on my hood, but I didn't have a choice, but it's all good

 

if you had a choice which one would you pick?

it depends on the product you're making , and going even further there are different weave patterns that come into play.

 

I like the 1x1

 

2x2. i like the diagonal effect

Anytime I see 1x1 I think it looks fake; I guess because I'm so used to seeing 2x2 for everything CF.

1x1 looks like the fake plastic CF IMO.

 

****, never knew there was a difference lol

 

2x2 looks a lot better

for some reason or another the 1x1 looks liek tachy fake (it might just be me)

 

is it the weave that makes the 1x1 look fake or the coloration of the picture?

 

2x2

 

i'm a big fan of 2x2 but i think they both do look nice.... depends on what it is i'm thinking for bigger things the 2x2 is def nicer and maybe for smaller parts were the diagonal effect won't stand out the 1x1 would probably look nicer IMO

 

as far as strength, im pretty sure the 1x1 would be more rigid, where the 2x2 would be more flexible due to the different weave patterns. not likely that you would ever put that much force on it to find out,; they would behave exactly the same unless under large loads.

 

1x1 looks bunk to me
Ill take 2x2 thanks

 

i like 1x1

 

i vote for dueces
