Real carbon fiber it's a fabric made of carbon fibers.
Fake carbon fiber can be anything :plastic,paint...
If you asking about FIBER GLASS KITS Real Fiberglass kits are made by Company and replicas can be made at some one's garage ...
P.S. Sorry I do not know anything about oil.
Here is FAKE CARBON Fiber. Gage bezel made of plastic and Horn button sticker made of VINYL.

What's the difference between synthetic oil and regular oil--and does weather really affect oil?

Your engine's needs really do change under different weather conditions. For example, cold weather means the oil in your car will have a harder time circulating and cold starts are one of the toughest engine conditions--that's one time where a lot of damage can happen to the heart of your vehicle. But, when it's cold, we tend to let our cars idle more to warm up--and this can actually cause an overheating condition! So, one thing that I recommend year round is switching to a synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is specially formulated to provide extra protection in severe conditions, and is relatively cheap insurance for your engine.

For the best engine protection, change your oil every 3,000-5,000 miles

Can i use honda synthetic oil and filter on my celica? I hate my local toyota dealer they are a bunch of dumbasses. never want to do any business with them in the future. My car is still in their shop ever since Thursday afternoon to have my clutch replace because it burned out and i can have the car til Monday afternoon. they said they would have it done by today after 5pm but when i called at 3pm they said the flywheel was rough out becuz the last owner had diff. clutch on it and was hard on the flywheel so they can't get it done til monday. Dumb bastard, they had the car since yesterday and all day today and wasn't enough time for them. angry angry

honda oil is formulated for a honda,not a toyota. you can get the oil at any oil changing place, they might have to order it, but they can hook you up. don't worry about the dealer being bastards, most of them are the same way including mine
