What you guys think?:p
It's a Carbon flat black layover
Real carbon fibre add on under side

Interesting lay out. Its definitely giving the car a little more character, but with the grill overlay and the top it's like a gtr-ish/evo X kind of look.

I'm looking forward to pic of the sunline bodykit on your car.

I don't mean to be rude, certainly to each his own, and making a car look cool is always cool...

But the point of carbon fiber usage on performance cars is to drop weight from the OEM metal parts. A carbon fiber overlay just adds weight, which is the exact opposite of the originally intended purpose.

i knw what ur saying however the roof is the main structure and balance of the car..you can get a full carbon fiver hood fender or any other parts and that would reduce the weight problem of the car.

I agree, a carbon roof would probably help this car, if it were lighter than the stock metal one while maintaining enough rigidity. Taking weight off of the very top of the car is nice, because it lowers the center of gravity to boot. But a carbon piece that simply slips over the existing metal can't do anything but add weight, and raise the center of gravity.

Edit:

But I'm trying not to be too down in my opinion, I don't mean to be a hater. It looks really nice, and we all make tradeoffs in the name of looks at times :)

I believe that the carbon referenced is a vinyl; the side skirt add-on is actual CF.

What did you use for the grill to make it black, thats not carbon too is it?

AK370Z 05-09-2009 03:56 AM

I LOVE the front grille section. Matte Carbon overlay?

Frick@DDM 05-09-2009 05:07 AM

The Vinyl Accents are very nice. And I love the side spats! Nice job. What kit is going on the car?

Endgame 05-09-2009 08:07 AM

I am more interestd in the side spats... Look good!

wstar 05-09-2009 08:55 AM

Oh it's like a vinyl sheet, rather than a hard piece?

M.Bonanni 05-09-2009 10:11 AM

Any shots from under the car of the sides? How far underneath the car do they go?

VIP-STATUS 05-09-2009 12:45 PM
