View Full Version : Carbon FIber Lip look out of PLace on SW TC *PICS pg 1*
SVicksTC 04-03-2008, 02:35 AM Hey i was just wondering what everyones take on just having say a carbon fiber lip, with a carbon fiebr hood, and carbon fiber exhaust heat shield, and the carbon fibe b pillar apploque?
I dont have the money for the lip anytime soon, I am just wondering if you guys think it would look out of place
Will be installing this Weekend
So being away at school my mom snapped some pics of what arrived.....

ucsdtc 04-03-2008, 03:05 AM i dont think it would look weird at all...
viventi 04-03-2008, 03:20 AM personally i think its too much, but a lot of people on here have exactly that.
beedee 04-03-2008, 05:13 AM different strokes for different folks....like Digital Underground says; Do Whatcha Like...
scion_jon 04-03-2008, 05:15 AM sometimes yes and sometimes no
SVicksTC 04-03-2008, 05:22 AM ehh i want to get a lip for the car but not sure if the CF would be out of place without side skirts and rear caps? Also would a color matched lip look better?
I know do what you like but having other peoples opinions helps in the process....
andino 04-03-2008, 06:14 AM Just the front lip yes. The whole kit, yes until your get a hood and hatch to match.
a_german_named_hans 04-03-2008, 11:55 AM as long its not only the lip kit alone. I think it'd look great if u get CF Lip and hood. I'd also look into a CF lip spoiler.
silvrtc08 04-03-2008, 12:01 PM I have been considering the same set-up as well (cf lip,hood,hs, and wing) However, the one thing you do not want to do is have too much going on with your front end. You want to make sure that it doesnt look cluttered. To a certain extent imo i think you CAN have too much CF! With the SW you want the carbon fiber to stand out right? :blah:
imo little pieces here and there would be the best!

SVicksTC 04-03-2008, 04:37 PM well i have a CF Hood, and CF Exhaust heat sheild, and the CF b-pillar appliques
yellowxhoodie 04-03-2008, 04:57 PM yea. SW with carbon fiber looks awesome.
im gonna be getting the whole rs1 lip kit in carbon fiber for my SW cuz im going for the panda look too.
theres a whole thread for pics of them.
GQQSE13 04-03-2008, 06:55 PM i've seen a sw w/ cf lip and it looks awesome. i think there's a pic of one on racingsolution's webpage
bigwillystyle23 04-03-2008, 08:07 PM cf looks awesome on sw and csm

ExpresScion 04-04-2008, 04:25 AM I'd probably skip the heat shield, but it would look sick. SW+CF=sexy time!

SVicksTC 04-04-2008, 04:32 AM see i got he heat sheild for my bumber not getting burnt by my exhaust....
yellowxhoodie 04-04-2008, 03:13 PM word.^
ive got one too.
rather have that than have to replace the whole bumper when the paint starts bubbline and the bumper gets all defromed.
GQQSE13 04-04-2008, 03:16 PM ^^ that's the reason i bought one off someone, i just need it to quit raining so i can install it....no more melting of the bumper
i think you should get the cf lip :)
SVicksTC 04-04-2008, 03:28 PM well decieded to go with the CF lip after i get some funds available maybe when im finished college for this semester? So Team Panda? hahah ill post pics when its on
SVicksTC 04-05-2008, 03:58 AM So i looked into it and ordered the front lip should be here monday says the tracking number ashame ill be back up at school and will have to wait the whole week to install and take pictures.....Panda FTW!
Sgarcia1129 04-06-2008, 01:48 AM that would look pretty sweet ive been thinking about doing that to mine bsp but I think on my car you wouldnt be able to notice it as well so idno yet

1SWTTC2006 04-09-2008, 10:39 PM THATS WHAT IM GONNA GET SOON, THE CF LIP LOOKS GREAT ON WHITE... GO FOR IT MAN... YOU WILL LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS
SVicksTC 04-10-2008, 01:17 AM Ya i cant wait to put it on this weekend when i go home from College.....I think it will be nice ill post up pics as soon as im done the install and clean her up a bit
fujita_TC 04-10-2008, 01:21 AM yea i got the c/f heat shield too. im kinda of a c/f whore?...in a week and a half ill half c/f lip kit...so c/f-hood-hatch-lipkit-heatshield-eyelids-mirror covers-....cant wait..
SVicksTC 04-10-2008, 01:23 AM yea i got the c/f heat shield too. im kinda of a c/f whore?...in a week and a half ill half c/f lip kit...so c/f-hood-hatch-lipkit-heatshield-eyelids-mirror covers-....cant wait..
Ya i would love to get the hatch, but the amount they charge around me to transfer the glass is killer.... I cant want to see your car when you get it put on
yellowxhoodie 04-10-2008, 03:19 PM looks good man, cant wait to see it on the car.
ive been debating whether i wanna get just the front lip or the whole kit.
this will hlep my decision a lil.
deflaytedwayz1 04-10-2008, 03:28 PM I think the CF lip is a nice accent. However I think the whole CF lip kit is overdoing it. It will just look like someone drew a line around the bottom of your car like an outline. Looks good.
