Well.. fabric IS cloth, and those 2 auctions are of the same thing... raw carbon fiber fabric. Not what you are looking for.

To be honest though, I don't even know the official name for that CF fabric that people use to wrap the interiors in.

Well, the thing is that you are looking at the actual carbon fiber fabric/cloth (same thing). That fabtic is very easy to damage and it is a very fine product. The carbon fiber products you normally buy is made out of that fabric but they are covered by clear resin. That makes those products strong.

If you are looking for for that fabric to overlay an interior parts, I'd suggest buying a specific product made for that. Click on the link to see more info about it.
