The same way they're always made, the the same material as always, just a carbon "look". I'll bet they're dipped.

If it is just a wrapped aluminum or metal arm then I would be disappointed. If it's some combination of metal end lugs joined by some filament found members or bladder formed carbon then I would be impressed.

So, what is it?

No, they would be far too expensive for anyone to even want to buy. They're standard arms with a coating on them to look like carbon fiber. They are in no way shape or form true carbon fiber. Now how they put it on I'm not sure, but I'd bet it's dipped. Same process they use to put camo on bows and gun stocks and such.

I didn't see the word "look" in the first post. I didn't think they were real carbon but I was interested regardless.

I wish the picture was a little larger. You can't weld carbon fiber...

It's surely not REAL carbon fiber. Its called hydro-graphics. They dip the pieces in a water tank, and get a textured look.
