Carbon fiber front end treatments

Would CF Fangs and Upper "Mouth" plastic covering piece look weird together? I think they both look cool independently, but I have never seen anyone do both of them. Anyone

Would CF Fangs and Upper "Mouth" plastic covering piece look weird together? I think they both look cool independently, but I have never seen anyone do both of them. Anyone have pictures of them both on?

I'm also thinking about doing the B-Pillars and maybe the diffuser, if that helps.

Thanks for your thoughts.


Note: I've finally gotten enough done to the Z that it would make sense to take pictures. I'm going to try to get some this week and post an album. Should be fun.

are you referring to the upper CF trim? (from z-store)

if so, i think they will look fine with the CF Fangs. i didnt do the upper one because i wanted contrast.

Yeah, the upper CF trim. I want to get it to cover some licence plate holes and I like the look of the CF fangs. I just think it might look weird to frame the space with CF like that.

i think you'll be fine.

another approach would be to plug up the holes using decorative plugs or black carriage bolts, or even fill, mask, and paint the top area matte black.
