As a whole, Dry Carbon is much stronger in terms of weave, it saves alot more weight than "wet" carbon, and the quality is often alot better. One thing about Wet Carbon that I've always noticed, is you're not even getting a product that's full carbon fiber, but rather, just a slim mat layed over fiberglass.
The coolest part about PW:JDM, is they lay dry carbon into dry carbon molds, which means your product will have the best fitment possible. It was interesting learning about it, and we were even shown a knock off PowerChamber styled intake made of wet carbon, which as they told us, cracked as soon as they smacked it on a desk. The dry carbon however, was perfectly fine. They also had a welding mask made of dry carbon and King (one of the guys who was showing us around) pretty much bent it completely in, and it was perfectly fine.
hope that helped you out a bit? there's actually a TON of write ups you could probably find online, so if youre interested in that, check it out.

heh that's what we're trying to find out ;) if the stuff will sell. a-pillars are a good idea, full ones that is. There are gauge pods made of dry carbon already, and they're universal (if I remember correctly..) but you're looking for a full pillar with pod insert right?
lol
