Default Austin Racing CF Can with CF Bellyban

Hey guys..

looking to get the austin racing gp3 v2 can in black (its CF) with a CF bellypan.

But i noticed the AR bellypan has an entirely different (weave) pattern than the can! it'll just kill the clean look i wanted.

Im now considering risking getting an limburger CF belly pan just to more closely match weave pattern on AR can.

Thoughts? Options?

on mine due to the inward angle of the belly pan the weave is imperceptible until you're <3 feet or so. Unless the sun is hitting it it's hard to notice that it's carbon fiber unless your looking at the front portion by the engine. If I wasn't 2000 miles away on vacation I'd snap some pictures for you.

Got the AR belly & can, plus other Ilimburger pieces. You won't notice the variation on the bike. I admit to a little perfectionist OCD on occasion, but you won't be sorry. It looks fantastic

I just got the AR belly pan at the NEC show. I don't notice the difference at all when I look at my Leo and the pan. It's sit higher of course. Nice piece that belly pan. I do have different carbon bits from another company and was worried about the clash of the weave, but I got over it.
