New! Carbon Fiber front wheel well lip downforce spoliers
The second product in Sierra Composites new motorsport parts aerodynamics line. Carbon fiber front wheel well lip downforce spoilers for race and tuned street cars. Used to fine tune a cars front aerodynamics to give more front downforce, they redirect airflow to the front wheels as well as create more surface area for airflow to push downforce on. Initially used to gain an advantage under certain racing rules regulating chassis width. However they do work and were successfully used on the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR as seen in photos below. When rules allowed these to be molded into the race car front chassis they ...
New! Carbon Fiber Dive Planes / Front Bumper Canards / Aerodynamics
Just released from Sierra Composites! Our new SC Aero GT3 carbon fiber front dive planes, also sometimes incorrectly called bumper canards. Sierra Composites has fabricated custom race dive planes for years, but this is the first time we have developed a race style dive plane that can also be used on a street car, are universal fit and are not race car parts prices. A simple google search will give all kinds of results for "dive planes" or "bumper canards", however these parts are either cheap plastic with maybe a carbon fiber thin insert for looks but sold funny enough as ...
Sierra Composites at Brumos Porsche 250 race weekend

This race track work is the final step for us before we release our "street versions" of one of these aerodynamic racing devices... Stay tuned...
GREEN carbon fiber color sheets
Sierra Composites has just introduced its GREEN color carbon fiber sheets. Sierra Composites is the only manufacturer of this product. Unlike traditional Kevlar/Carbon hybrid weaves, our sheets do not have one color fiber strand woven to a black strand, nor do they have workability issues that Kevlar fibers present. Our new Green carbon fiber sheets have a more subtle look and can reflect a lighter or darker green depending on the light source. Currently these are available in our .015" sheets only. However we can manufacture any of our products to have the same green color look. Contact us with questions ...
Carbon fiber supplier for USA handmade knife makers
Sierra Composites has been the leading supplier of carbon fiber sheets as well as silver texalium sheets and laminates to USA handmade knife makers for many years. We supply thin carbon fiber sheet material for use as handle scale inlays, and we supply thicker laminates for handle scales that can be profiled. The handle scales are particularly important since the carbon fiber layup has to be in the correct orientation in order to have the correct look once the handle is profiled down. Since our silver sheets have the same great high gloss tough surface, our silver texalium sheet looks just ...
Fake Graphite Texalium Sheet (not carbon fiber)
Recently a B2B customer had sent us a sample of another fake carbon fiber type product. This time it is a fake Graphite Texalium sheet, often confused with carbon fiber sheet. Texalium is a high end raw fabric fiberglass product made by Hexcel. Texalium is a high grade fiberglass that undergoes a process that applies a 200 Angstroms thin coating of aluminum, thus giving it the woven metal appearance. The aluminum base color can then be tinted by Hexcel to produce other colors such as the graphite steel color. It is used only as a top decorative layer on its own, ...
Carbon fiber signs at indoor karting and restaurant facility
A couple years ago Sierra Composites teamed up with a design studio in Chicago to fabricate some custom carbon fiber sheets for one of their clients. Those carbon fiber sheet laminates were used around the facility as signage. They were made from our .059" carbon fiber sheet and mounted to the walls with standoffs so they "floated" off the wall. We have had this photo for quite a while and forgot about it. Its a great photo showing how Sierra Composites carbon fiber products are used in may applications. The restaurant is Stewart's Bar and Grille located in the Chicago ...
Corvette Z06 carbon fiber sheet fuel door
One of our great customers just sent us a few photos of Sierra Composites .015" thin carbon fiber sheet veneer. The carbon fiber sheet with 3M adhesive backing was used as a veneer layer over the stock Corvette Z06 fuel door. The Corvette already has a very race car look to it, but the carbon fuel door gives it that extra detail. This project was simple and inexpensive to complete but makes a nice upgrade to the Corvette Z06. Sierra Composites manufactures the absoulute best carbon fiber on the market and has been for many years, that is why this Corvette ...
Sierra Composites NEW 2inch carbon fiber angle
Sierra Composites has just released our new 2" inch long sided carbon fiber angle. Previously the largest sided size we manufactured was 1 1/2" inch. The 1 1/2" inch angle was the longest sided carbon fiber angle commercially available from any source until the release of Sierra Composites 2" inch angle product. The new carbon fiber angle is still made the same containing a small radius in the corner for added strength that sharp corner angle can not match. Our 2" angle is available in all of our stock lengths of 12" / 24" / 36" and 48", and is priced ...
Carbon fiber thin veneer sheet .015″
Sierra Composites is the leader in supplying carbon fiber thin veneer sheets to retail and business customers.

You can purchase these high quality sheets through our online store www.sierracomposites.com
Carbon fiber custom dash
Sierra Composites has supplied customers carbon fiber sheet to build custom dash gauge and switch panels for the custom street cars as well as race cars. We are regularily asked what thickness of carbon fiber sheet should I use to build my custom dash with. There are really only two choices depending on what you are building. The first option is our .041" carbon sheet thickness, this is a perfect thickness for a small panel with a switch and a lightweight gauge or two that has some basic mounting support such as in a street car console area would have. ...
Mercedes CLK GTR carbon fiber undertray
Sierra Composites has built and repaired pro racing carbon fiber undertrays. This Mercedes Benz CLK GTR has removable carbon fiber strakes on its front splitter undertray.
