I was going to get the front too, but since I repaired the front bumper 3 times in past 2 years. I don't think it will be a good idea because carbon fiber can't be returned to its original condition once it is damaged. Its getting somewhat stressful to drive this car on the street..

it would look great if the whole car was cf....[/B]

That last statement makes me think you didn't plan this out before you embarked on this idea....

[EG_Ryder]

The car's original fiber glass clam was shattered in an accident couple months ago. Luckily there was no internal damage to the car or the car would be totaled. I thought since insurance company is paying for the money, I might as well go with something different. Now its more and more like a garage queen these days since I got it back from the shop.

[livelifeenvy]

yea, but those 2 little fins in the front is extremely easy to get damaged, because the nose sticks out and those 2 points stick out even more. The moment I pulled it out from the body shop one of the fin already got scratched. And since the whole front end is one piece, once it gets damaged it tends to cost at least 1K to repair. Awasome car to drive, but the whole fiberglass body suck ass.

I actually agree with you. Pardon me, OP, for being blunt, but it looks horrible like that. Looks like a two-tone paint job. In my own opinion, it's ruined. Later, QD.

[VooDooXII]

It looks...unfinished. That spoiler also looks way too big for the car.

[cm7k24]

kill the wheel gap and throw on some different wheel and this will be perfect!


pretty cool as is though.

[tnomud]

nice work!! I am about to do CF roof, doors, and fenders on my M3 (already did hood and trunk)

[Dwisforme05]

how much weight did it shed off?

[Catnip]

Not exactly how I'd want it to look, but I won't sit here and say I wouldn't kill mass amounts of babies for that car.

[Elbow]

Doesn't look horrible but it's defiantly not something to stare at.

LOL, WTF repped

[Brian*]

Looks awesome!



I wish I was rich lol

[5speed]

Will look great when it is complete.

[yjack]

Thanks for the comments, very helpful actually.

I am going to order these 2 items see if it will improve the intergration of CF into the car. Its going to hurt my wallet though... over 1k for 2 piece of carbon fiber and mirrors..

[Drummerboy]

Is that a whole hood or just inserts? If they're inserts, wouldn't they add weight?

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. Later, QD.

Its full replacement. not such a big weight saving, only 2 lbs.


Lolol. Later, QD.

yea I know :(

[Mr. Clean]

such awkward looking cars. never really understood the allure.

[DUBSf22c]

OH MY WOW.. i love it..

[yjack]

Update picture with CF mirror installed. its getting a little better now.

[HachiDori]

Car looks great, but if you are damaging the front on that thing, you are going waaaaay to fast. Seriously though U have about 1 1/2 of clearence.

[87 Turbo II]
