Carbon Fiber Gear is all about covering the latest in carbon fiber, and finding unique carbon fiber products, parts, & accessories.

This one is for those exotic car lovers and pure automobile enthusiasts.  The guys at RaceChairs.com have a unique paperweight which utilizes a 6″x6″ piece of real carbon fiber, a colored suede underside, and a real gas cap from a Ferrari 355 (Also available with a Lamborghini Diablo gas cap). We sell this on Carbon Fiber Gear Direct as well.

As with the carbon fiber mousepad and carbon fiber coasters that we looked at previously from RaceChairs, the carbon fiber weave is absolutely perfect and clearcoated for shiny finish.

The bottom of the paperweight is covered in suede, you have the option of choosing black, yellow, or red.  Our sample unit was red, the true Ferrari color.  The suede is soft, and ensure that you won’t scratch anything.

The Ferrari 355 gas cap is highly polished aluminum, and displays the Ferrari logo on the center.  It’s a perfect weight to hold your papers down.  The cap is brand new, and was never actually used on a car.

You may optionally have an engraved plaque added (perfect for special occasions like Father’s Day) as well as wall hangers if you want to just display it.

MSRP on this paperweight is $325, but is available on RaceChairs.com at the time of this writing for $199.

RaceChairs.com offers some really unique office furniture.  They take seats from a variety of exotic cars like Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s, and turn them into office chairs.  For example, this carbon fiber seat from a Lamborghini Diablo GT was converted into an office chair which can you be yours for a mere $3,500:

Aside from exotic chairs, RaceChairs also sells a few nifty carbon fiber accessories, like the carbon fiber mousepad they sent us for review (we now sell this, and is available here):

The mousepad is made using real carbon fiber in a semi-stiff resin.  It has a semi-matte finish that is perfectly smoothed out…perfect for using an optical mouse, or one with a trackball.  The bottom has little non-slip feet in order to keep the mousepad in place.

As you can see, the weave is absolutely perfect, with no imperfections.  The pad itself is pretty thin, measuring in at only 1/16″ of an inch.  It really matches a modern office look, and it’s a great way to impress your friends.
