I decided to go carbon
yes I just ordered, a carbon fiber hood, trunk, gas door, looking for a set of real carbon fiber power mirror for nice price. door handles, and pillar covers. I like the carbon fiber idea. and it not only look good but it reduce weight also.
for the HATERS to each his own. I just thought I would share.
let me know where else can I find some good carbon fiber cosmetic stuff

Re: I decided to go carbon
there is a guy on H-T that sells the roof covers , and also for people who want to reduce weight by removing the sunroof, and plug the hole. I like my roof too much for that.
I wanna get the mirrors but I cant find them in power, so I may have to settle for manual.
do you have any pics of your car with the trunk and hood installed?

Re: I decided to go carbon
why you people seems to have a extreme hate for people who like to have a nice clean looking car?
or is it a grudge for people who can afford what they want?
or maybe its a bandwaggon, because one guy is outspoken with hate the other must do so to be accepted on Hmt. no matter what it is, you dont have to wish for me to crash my car and die. thats just straight up jealousy.
I dont care what you guys think, I build my car for me. but I like to show off what I got also. so if you cant be nice ---- you!
you wish for me to crash my car and die. I am not even gonna belittle myself to wish you the same.

Re: I decided to go carbon
I never wished for you to crash and die. I was pointing out the fact that cardon fiber is not made to absord the inpact of a crash like the car was designed and the result to your bodily injury may be more severe in a crash than without all that useless carbon fiber. I was just being an *** and sisnt feel like getting into details. Thats why I put in this little guy 
.
There is no hate. Its just that some things are functional and some arent. HMT has allays been about functionality over form. You a long time member. You should know that
You want praise for carbon fiber go to HT.

Re: I decided to go carbon
I haven't seen one street car pull off all their body panels in carbon, so in the end it still looks like half the car is unpainted. If it's for weight savings (on a street car? 
) it would be honorable to paint all of it.

Re: I decided to go carbon
I am doing it for looks, but in the end I also save some weight. thats it. not trying to make excuse for my rice, I like the way carbon fiber looks.
at least my car is not slow with all that carbon fiber, I did the performace ---- already, now its time for looks.
