If you buy a set, you'll be one of a very few. :shock: lastlookcustoms 01-15-2005, 09:44 PM Good....Thats how I want it to be.... its_ikon 01-15-2005, 10:45 PM Good....Thats how I want it to be.... or maybe i have them and haven't posted pics :twisted: mD5 01-16-2005, 01:03 AM i want carbon fenders. painted of course. firesquare 01-16-2005, 01:38 AM you mean these from ABS dynamics? http://www.absdynamics.com/image/Fender/fenderc-oe-xb03.jpg lastlookcustoms 01-16-2005, 01:42 AM Yea, those are the ones. I am sponsored by ABS Dynamics on a CF lip kit as soon as they become available. They are talking next month on the lips. The fenders are in stock and ready to go though.... firesquare 01-16-2005, 02:08 AM yo tell them to hook team scioNRG up!!!!!!!!! ill be ordering the lip kit and the CF front lip in the summer hopefully i would love a set and candy coat them. ill be picking up a CF hood and ill have it candy coated BCP :-D squirrel 01-16-2005, 02:34 PM Are their other color variations available? dblrnut 01-16-2005, 02:44 PM any you guys know where i can get the fenders ive been lookin for a while now thanks for the help firesquare 01-16-2005, 02:47 PM ^^what fenders? we cant read your mind. if you want the CF ones hit up www.absdynamics.com jct 01-16-2005, 03:51 PM just get the whole car done in CF shortbus05 01-16-2005, 05:21 PM i will never understand why people ruin carbon fiber by painting it. firesquare 01-16-2005, 10:34 PM i will never understand why people ruin carbon fiber by painting it. how do you ruin CF? it may be a sleeper sneaky issue, or just to save weight without drawing attention. id do both. but i candy coat the frenders to match my color. like in this thread http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41757&highlight=hot+lava+carbon+fiber check it out shortbus05 01-17-2005, 06:51 AM to me, that's just ugly. The whole original concept, as i understand it, for carbon fiber is to a) reduce weight and b) contrast the colors on the car, true jdm style to me carbon fiber is perfect the way it is, no need to be colored. coloring is just americans ruining a good thing, like most imports chadfo 01-17-2005, 07:30 AM If it was wood, I'd worry about it. It's just carbon fiber. It was initially used to be light and stronger than fiberglass. Fiberglass is painted everyday. DarkBoxJr 01-18-2005, 08:42 PM to me, that's just ugly.

You JDM clowns are ridiculous. lastlookcustoms 01-20-2005, 10:51 AM LMAO...You guys are too much... Anyways, I ordered them yesterday so we will see how they look when I get them. I am NOT going to paint them. SamOnFire 01-20-2005, 02:02 PM Am I the only one who doesn't care if the c/f is painted or not? I think it's nice either way, although my two favorites are 1) I saw a car at a show with a painted hood, but when you opened it, the bottom was c/f, very hot, I think. 2) painting the body part but letting some of the c/f still show thru, foe instance, if you have a c/f front & rear bumper, hood, and trunklid, you could have a completely painted car, with c/f racing stripes. Not a big fan of stripes, but it gets across the point. squirrel 01-20-2005, 04:56 PM Man, I would get some of those fenders. But I need them in black and silver carbon fibre to match my hood and wing. rollotomassi 01-20-2005, 05:35 PM Am I the only one who doesn't care if the c/f is painted or not?

Not a big fan of stripes, but it gets across the point. I don't care to much for the carbon fiber, (on our cars it's so obvious that it's just there for looks) but I like your idea. It's different than the rest of the "look what I just bolted on" stuff. Your idea would actually take some skill and is tastefully subtle. firesquare 01-20-2005, 05:43 PM Am I the only one who doesn't care if the c/f is painted or not?

TheScionicMan 01-20-2005, 10:50 PM I think the fenders and hood combo would look like a euro front clip - flip the hood to open the other way and attach the fenders so its all one piece, a couple quick release tiedowns at the bottom of the fenders... That would be crazy... I've also seen graphics at a car show that looked like the paint was ripped and there was CF underneath but it was the vinyl CF cuz it was a graphics kit. - it would be sweet to do that look with real CF underneath... lastlookcustoms 01-29-2005, 12:30 AM I got my fenders...They look awesome. I have to get them put on and get some pictures up... squirrel 01-29-2005, 02:46 AM I got my fenders...They look awesome. I have to get them put on and get some pictures up...

They look badass though. I will get some pics when I get the other set. |
