too much CF for me but i like it. I only like accents and partially painted CF pieces.

 

The hood and front lip would've been fine...but you ruined the look with those fenders...
CF excessively used doesn't look good

 

I don't understand fender CF replacements... I've had them off all week and would be damn surprised if the CF fender weight MUCH less than the stock....

The stock fenders have no framed support, so essentially is just a metal skin.

The whole front end needs to be CF to make this work.... looks a bit "Off" with the bumper black in the middle of the lip fenders and hood.

Nice step in the needed direction.... just need a CF bumper released...

 

Looks sweet. Great job, even more impressive since you did it yourself. I'd have to agree with DuMa though, would be fickin' wicked on a FM. of course i'm also biased....

 

Well, isn't it like the same thing as having any larger size aftermarket wheel? It is all for looks.

 

Guess it must be an acquired taste or something, to me having anything carbon on the body other than the hood reminds me of seeing ricers on the street with unpainted body kits.

The fact that you did it yourself is great, the work looks very good. If you can sell them all the more power to you sir!

Just my 0.02

 

The CF fenders are about 2lbs lighter than the stock, I weighted them.


Did you happen to read the details below my pics. It explains why.


RacingSolutions is where I got the CF lip from. Tell him I sent you..


Different strokes for different fokes. But the hood is from AIT Racing.


It's funny how some people just fail to read... No worries though, I won't hold it against you. We are going to the body shop Monday to have the frame pulled a little, because it's off about 1/2 inch or so due to the small fender bender. So, we are having it pulled back to factory specs.



Working on that.


Thanks for you guys comments. Sometimes CF is a little hit and miss, to much and it's overdone, not enough, and it's underdone. But I think it flows well, and so does my g/f. I don't think the front bumper will be CF. I kinda like it being a stock BSP bumper. Helps to break up the CF a bit. Thanks again guys.

 

People really can't read can they? At the very start of this whole thread it explains why the fitment is off, I was in a small fender bender. Obviously, the only thing on some peoples minds where the pics. Next time reading might answer all your burning questions. Like my b/f also said the frame is going to be bent back out on Monday so that's all hope for the best. Thanks for everyones input glad everyone (well almost everyone..lol) liked it. He really worked his @ss off.

 

 

now who's car is it, yours or his??? it is one clean looking car, as i told your b/f it is an inspiration.....good work, and mucho props for DIY'ing

 

^^ She is on the note. She drives it daily. I drive it when I want to because I put in the wrench time. We are going to get married, so does that sum it up for you...lol

 

very nice...you get the babe, and of course you also get your g/f

 

sweet ride bro
now you need some rims and IMO get a rear lip or something, the car looks unproportional.

Keep us updated =P

 

o ya, i do hate one thing, that damn watermark...its hard to make a wallpaper out of it, when it has your name everywhere!!!!

 

Can't blame a bro though.




But of course. When RacingSolutions get's the side skirts and 1-piece rear CF lips in stock, we will scoop them up. But we kinda have to wait on them, as they are on backorder. The wing will be next after the Clutch and Flywheel purchase.

 

what wing did you want to get? i say go spoilerless. tcs look good spoilerless. i think with the rest of the kit in cf it will set off the rest of the car really good.

 

Pics 3, 6, 11 ... Guys your car looks tight, real nice work... I like alot...

 

sweet. once they're painted, you'll be set.

 

are you kidding? who the hell paints c/f?

 

^ Lots of people paint CF.....

CF fundamentally is for removing weight from the car.... replace standard heavy parts with lighter CF parts and paint to match...

It's the tuner genre that leaves the CF weave visable for "Looks"... We do lots of crazy stuff like that.
