As for comparing wrap CF to real CF. Its like comparing a Murdered Honda Civic to a 370z. No comparison. lol. There is a reason why the price is so different.

Real Carbon Fiber is more of a performance piece as well, as it is lighter than FRP. There is also the diffrerence between Wet Carbon Fiber and Dry Carbon Fiber. Although both are lighter than FRP, Wet Carbon Fiber is heavier than Dry Carbon Fiber.

So if you are looking at something to make the car more flashy and look cool, Wrap would be a good idea. Just make sure you take your time and get it done correctly because people CAN tell if they know what they are talking about, unlike what JC has stated. A real Car Enthusiast they can tell the difference, but won't judge you for using a CF wrap, glossy or matte (although most matte CF wrap looks better in the end than Glossy CF wrap). Heck I have seen a couple Z's have CF wrap that looks amazing!

If you are looking at reducing weight or would like real authentic pieces or anything like that on the overall car, you would want to look into REAL CF.

^^ Just more of a in depth look at CF and not a bunch of biased opinions for you OP.

Although, Like JC said FI and the GEN 3's are most circulated/talked on these forums because they are well known, Plus the products are usually good quality. Then again JC, You get what you pay for. You buy a brand new set of $200 intakes and a brand new $400 exhaust, chances are the sound of your car will sound cheap with almost no overall gains

I for one have the Nismo R-tune Long Tube CAI ($700 brand new) and run the FI CF 18" resonator Ehxuast ($1600 brand new) and haven't been bashed or told there was anything wrong with me for not having Gen 3's for one. Two, between those two mods I have added close to 35whp or so.
I know plenty of people that have neither of those products and are still very well respected members here.

OP, If you should take anything from what members say about products here is to make sure to stay away from parts that aren't good quality, of which there are a lot out there on the market. There are plenty of good products out there in the market, just have to make sure you steer clear of the bad quality products.

For example, if members didn't start talking about and informing people of Aerojacket or GTM after they went bad, people would keep purchasing from them. Why, as a community, should we allow someone asking a questions about which products are good quality etc purchase products that are from bad companies or bad quality. We should inform them to not do so, so they do not waste their time or their money.

REMEMBER DESPITE WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU ON A FORUM:
The build is your build and it is all personal preference in the end.
