Calling Carbon Fiber people...

Alright... Spring is almost soon

So, I' am saving up some money and am deciding on getting some stuff for my car.

1) CF Trunk
2) CF Hood
3) CF Front Lip
4) Aero Sides/Rear
5) Volk GT 7's



What I want too know is... Do they even have a FULL CF kit out for our cars?

Im reading a lot about VIS and other cf companys... Is Seibon any good?

I think VIS is the only company making CF Trunks as of now?

Anyways, I have a tan civic... So, I think the CF will make a nice touch, esp with the gunmetal volks

Yea, I know someone makes the M3 CF kit but, just the front bumper is like $900, and I dont want that...

All I see on ED is the front cf lip

please dont do CF lip kit or lip alone. It looks like unpainted body parts which in turn looks like **** and out of place.

CF trunk/hood combo would be killer if you lower your car a lot. If you want a lip kit get like OEM or something similar but CF lips and kits will definatly be a bad move.

I think CF trunks look ok on dark blue or black cars...on silver or champagne or white, I think it looks strange...hoods yes...trunks no..not for me anyway As far as a complete kit, again I think it would look awesome on black, but probably not any other color...

Impulse just go with it man. Im almost doing the same, already have the C/F hood on, C/F lip soon and then not sure on the sides. I think a trunk will look killer, esp with tinted tails (hint at something Im doin? ) But yeah, I think it will look killer man.

i forgot to add this, bac7213 also can make carbon fiber stuff for our cars as long as you provide him with something for the mold(like the original). if I remember, he charges somewhere like 300 per bumper. sometime in the spring I should be getting something done from him unless I swap in a k20(not sure if im going to go wit k20a2 or k20a3 cause ill be completely redoing the internals of the engine). as for the Hood and Trunk, I would go with VIS. my friend has a seibon hood on his 240, n i just dont really like it. the vis hood looks better imo and it doesnt cost as much. the seibon hood do have the holes for the water nozzles, but who puts those back on wit cf? as for the gt7's, another good color on ur car might be gold or bronze.

I'm thinking about a CF hood for my 04 coupe as well; I think it'll look raw!! but I heard VIS wasn't that good though, is that true? I mean, how can you tell the quality of a CF Hood: by the finish, thickness?? I've never had one, that's why I ask...
BodyKits.com got them for $445 + shipping, is that a reasonable price?
