RedTurbo850 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 It's cool dude you can say what you gotta say i'm not gonna cry and throw a tantrum. I knew a lot of people would be opposed, and probably appauled by the idea. I don't care. I recognize everyone has different taste.First off.Do you realize how much this will cost?Trunks cost around 500-600 bucks for a batch. Fenders come in 2 and it'll probably total out to 700-800 shipped at least.Secondly, if you don't have a CF hood (which most people do not have), you look like one of the guys with their hoods/fenders in primer. It looks silly if you only have one part of your car in CF, especially the sides. A trunk+hood gives somewhat of a 2 tone look which is ok, but the fenders would not match up with the rest of the body and would look silly.Imagine your car with two fenders painted black. That's pretty much what the CF will look like. Now if you painted it, and put a decal on there while you painted it. And then pulled it off so the wording is in CF, that would look pretty cool.

drin850 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 No, it would look stupid. CF doesn't look at great imo. The weave simply isn't that appealing. A lot of people like it simply because of the wow factor. A car in complete CF would look like crap.ive seen a lexus is300 wide body race car with a CF body somewhere on the net.....looks so damn good. if anyone knows which one im talking about and has a picture of it, please post.

ViperVette Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 If you get a CF hood, than maybe. Doubt the hoods will come together though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northmiler89 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 best i could doonly way to make that even look remotely good is to paint the entire top half of the car to match. Either black or a very dark grey. But that would be very :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 best i could doHey, it's me! Nice thought with the CF fenders, but I agree, painted would look better on the car. On a dark car though with other CF bits, might look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequitas_Veritas Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 technically, it would look more like this, unless you got the bottum half of the fender color matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drin850 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 i thought it would look better if it was red below it, kinda matches the front seing how the bumper is red. sorry for using ur car Stig, it was the best pic i have on the computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spottieottie Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Do you have a sheetmetal widened fender to mold off of?You can mold off any good set of well rolled fenders. I rolled mine with the Eastwood roller to 1.5in on each side. You definately pull a mold off of them before I destroyed the right one. If you want pics I'll find some.
