Found an Instagram post with the matte forged carbon in red. Looks pretty sick.

It's either going to look good or super cheesy/cheap. Go for it :D
Too bad is like $550 shipped which is to much for me to take a gamble on it. $200 and under I'll roll the dice.

Oh, yeah - I figured this was one of those cheaper ones. IMO, forged carbon can look good or cheap, not a lot of middle ground.

Hahaha! Yeah, forged carbon reminds me of chip board, especially when it has a matte finish (like in the video). Very hit or miss.

I have some forged carbon parts from them. They advised against doing matte because once it's scratched, it's done.
