View Full Version : Carbon Fenders are on **PICS**
lastlookcustoms 04-10-2005, 12:22 AM Ok, I finished putting them on today. The quality is excellent and the fit was near 100% but I will readjust them later on... Here are some pics though as I know everyone was very anxious to see them...

sexyscionlover 04-10-2005, 12:34 AM im really not feeling the carbon fiber fenders unless you have carbon fiber hood, roof overlay, hatch overlay, lip, etc.
all or nothing on carbon fiber. this way it looks like you couldnt afford to get them painted. if you candy coated them blue that would be badass! just not my style. but good mod
lastlookcustoms 04-10-2005, 12:37 AM The hood is coming, along with a 4 piece lip kit... As far as the overlay, WHY? Who wants a carbon fiber sticker? Thats retarded...
xBassist 04-10-2005, 12:37 AM Those are cool
Paint them ;P
lastlookcustoms 04-10-2005, 12:54 AM Thats the third nose transformation...NO PAINT this time...Well, maybe some kandy flames.....
Hydrothetek 04-10-2005, 12:58 AM The hood is coming, along with a 4 piece lip kit... As far as the overlay, WHY? Who wants a carbon fiber sticker? Thats retarded...
i think by what was meant was actual carbon fiber overlay (they do all this bodywork on the roof and apply real carbon fiber and clear it)
Xbilly 04-10-2005, 01:18 AM I think they would look sweet with candy flames, IMHO they might be too much with the CF hood, unless you candycoat that too. I could be wrong, but I cant wait to see the pics
pdrizzle 04-10-2005, 01:31 AM How much lighter are they than the factory fenders?
dgHotLava 04-10-2005, 01:45 AM looks like your scion shed it's skin....i see you swapped bumpers too. you sure that the plow won't get mad and try attacking again?
i love the fenders. they look real clen too...
lastlookcustoms 04-10-2005, 02:13 AM Yea that plow worries me... I dont have another bumper to put on if i hit it again. Winter is over so the plow should be comin off... New bumper, new air dam, new lower grilles and the fenders...Whole new nose...
They arent that much lighter than the factory color... Definitley noticeable though..
its_ikon 04-10-2005, 02:45 AM those look good
sexyscionlover 04-10-2005, 03:23 AM yep thanks for clarifying Hydrothetek
kinda like Genes/Shelbys Green xB how that is
anyway, cant wait to see the finished project :clap:
Sal803 04-10-2005, 03:45 AM i think it looks sweet...goin to the meet next week right?
Max2k 04-10-2005, 04:03 AM Looks like you had a fender bender and couldn't afford paint.
carwashindad 04-10-2005, 01:01 PM I have nev er known to get into an accident and they replace with carbon fiber....hmmmmmmmm I thought the purpose was to let it be seen. I also thought that the hatch was entire carbon fiber. I knew the roof was an over lay but after you did that, there goes idea for sunroof or sliding rag. Yes you can cut the carbon fiber but why after all the work that went into doin the roof....Stu they look bad ___!!! Can't wait to see it when you get the rest of the stuff on it.
Oh and just remember "vinyl is for your house, not your car"
sexyscionlover 04-10-2005, 05:12 PM I think what Max2K meant was it looks funny because its off color. Thats the way I feel too. Once he gets the rest done I think it will look a ton better IMO. It wont look so pieced out.
It's actually for weight reduction is the real purpose of carbon fiber, not to be seen. I'm guilty of the same thing though, I have the VINYL carbon fiber stickers for looks. I love em. I spent $40 for everything and unless its next to the real stuff or realllly close, not a damn person can tell the diff.
I dont have an unlimited budget so vinyl will have to work for now..
mikochu 04-10-2005, 05:37 PM I like the idea of CF fenders...but maybe you should candy them...?
Boxer_Rebellion 04-10-2005, 06:04 PM I think it would look cool to candy blue flames on the fenders and hood so the negative space matches your paint and the flames going back were left clear carbon. Haven't seen that done before...
Max2k 04-10-2005, 07:26 PM I think the best thing to do would be to get CF fenders/hood/whatever and paint them, but leave a little part so the CF can show through. For instance, I would get a CF hood and leave a 1cm strip of CF near the wipers.
carwashindad 04-10-2005, 09:25 PM The statement I made about vinyl wasn't ment to be taken harsh. matter of fact its a t shirt from drop em wear. Only reason I said it was cause of my fenders and doors. I knew the reason for carbon fiber was for weight reduction. EITHER WAY they look sick and knowing Stuart, no matter what he does it will look sick!!!! But yeah candy flames would look sick!!!!

I will probably do some sort of candy graphic that you can look through and see the carbon....
firesquare 04-11-2005, 04:07 AM i gotta get me a set. and maybe a sponsor to help me out :-\
B2FiNiTY 04-12-2005, 07:38 AM The miss match of the body panel makes the car look cheap and breaks up the clean look.
I'm curious on the weight as well... Did you purchase these for looks, price or weight gains?
OKIHost 04-13-2005, 08:03 PM Not really feeling it to be honest but I don't really like and CF so its just me but much props for being the first one I know of with them.
lastlookcustoms 04-14-2005, 01:52 AM I'm curious on the weight as well... Did you purchase these for looks, price or weight gains?
Well I purchased them for looks. The car will never be fast so I wasnt really worried about weight savings. I love the carbon look, so thats why I went with them. I am also sponsored by ABS Dynamics, so the price was also right.
The carbon lip kit shipped out today. I am getting the front and sides. The rear wont be out for a few more weeks. So I will post pics of those as well...
Cockpit_XB 04-15-2005, 04:37 PM looking good.

How much did you pay for the fenders then?
lastlookcustoms 04-18-2005, 01:19 AM I have a sponsorship set up through ABS Dynamics. All I will say is that they were discounted...
underESTIMATED 04-18-2005, 01:46 AM I have a sponsorship set up through ABS Dynamics. All I will say is that they were discounted...
I just asked a $ amount.
I noticed he changed his price this morning/last night and just looking for a price to you. We all have some sort of hookup. :lalala:
carwashindad 04-18-2005, 01:57 AM Who changed the price???
underESTIMATED 04-18-2005, 02:05 AM Who changed the price???
Dunno, that's why I asked.
They were posted at $288.00 + shipping earliar today.
Now they are $100 more + shipping. I was going to order about $1,000 worth of stuff, but without notice the price increased...therefore I doubt I'll spend all that much on one site.
There's plenty of competitors...

carwashindad 04-18-2005, 02:20 AM still doesn't answer the question as to who changed the price...was it lastlook or someone else???? I just went to the absdynamics site and thats the same price they had posted the last time I was on the site so I have no idea who you are talking about. Thats what I am asking what person and where did you find the prices changed??
lastlookcustoms 04-18-2005, 10:13 AM Well...I dont sell them yet on my site, so it wasnt me that changed the price. As far as me saying what I got them for, I wont.. I got a sponsorship on the carbon lip kit, an abs lip kit and the carbon fenders. The fenders and the abs lip kit were discounted and the cf lip kit is free. I dont want to say how much i paid for the fenders, because if someone else doesnt get the same deal, I dont want them crying to jason or wilson at ABS Dynamics because I got them cheaper.. Ya know what I'm sayin??
