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 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.

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

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