And it's the Agera that has the CF wheels, and I HIGHLY doubt the US has any of them yet

Now if you ball so hard and you've got a spare... 2-3 Million you can have a Koeniggsegg that has hollow CF spoked wheels and CF barrels
yea the ones I have pictured I am 85% sure its their regular wheels with amazingly done CF overlays

Don't be a poser, get the real deal if you want to rock CF

This was something I spotted a few months ago

I've seen that car in the parking lot of Boeing a few times. And I 100% agree, you can't wrap in CF cause Ill make fun of you. And no one wants that.
dmhenderson and DEpointfive0 like this.

If you just want the look you can also just get them hydro dipped in carbon fiber film then clearcoat it and it will be as solid as your paint.

Who does this hydro dipping? How does the price compare to powder coating?

Maybe cheaper, but once you clear coat, probably the same.
You'll have to google places local to you



But they really aren't comparable... You can get a lot of weird/random patterns and such with hydro dipping while PC will just give you more of a "paint" finish
