Re: carbon fiber yay or nay If you're going for a :_puke: theme, sure....looks like you jacked your hood up already so do it. If you want a clean looking car then don't. |
Re: carbon fiber yay or nay I have this same kit and i think carbon would be too over the top. |
Re: carbon fiber yay or nay Well, at the very least, if you decide you want a different look, get the OEM style Carbon hood, and get it painted. at least you'll loose some weight. |
Re: carbon fiber yay or nay don't do it. your car looks unique as it is. just black out your headlights again and maybe get 04 tails if you don't already have em. :) |

Re: carbon fiber yay or nay the car is garage kept and i have a daily now so i dont have to worry about the weather. here's what the car looks like now http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/nickd1114/051.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/nickd1114/052.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/nickd1114/053.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/nickd1114/054.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y97/nickd1114/055.jpg |

And before that, some drunk black chick rear ended the rear-left portion of my car and then sped off. Insurance didn't cover it because I had no witnesses nor her license plate. |
Re: carbon fiber yay or nay wtf Hays, I thought carbon fiber goes all the way through. I didn't think that look was a surface coat, or am I confused? |
