But then it wouldn't add to my postcount.

 

ok honestly, i got my cf hood for not much of weight savings, but mainly looks. So does that make me a ricer blackmaxdout?

 

if that's your car in your sig, then I would say no. One of the best looking 4th gens I've ever seen. But I still would have painted it the same color of your car.

 

weight savings my young apprentice....weight....and hoods u can get away with not painting because its pretty common....but mis matched fenders makes it look like junkyard parts put togehter awaiting paint...unless of course u have a black car

 

that's a pretty big hole you got there!

 

i think we should wait for pics before we start bashin anythin. Don't knock it til u try it... er... see it at least

 

cristal...

and as far as bashing, how are yall gonna bash the man when you have yet to see the dang things. I look at as he put up the cash hes opt to do whatever he likes whether or @ least he isnt in a situation of a signature with PARTS COMING, hes doing the damn thing, and if it makes him happy

:King:

 

Here are some pics, like I said earlier im having fitment issues, it looks to me the fenders are warped, I am having a bodyman come look at it today, I believe i am going to have to have a new set sent to me. I will keep you updated. Here they are

 

Weave looks nice, and the cutout is a lot nicer then the Z3 style, but your right, fitment looks way off. Big gaps and it doesnt seem to line up with the bottom of the bumper.

 

Are these wrapped? If so, then why are they so off?

Would FRP wrapped in CF hold up better?

 

Not really, the FRP is deigned to flex, the resin thats used to apply the CF is not. Flexing of the FRP would crack the top surface of CF.

 

I kinda like them. Can't wait to see the finished product

 

yeah there is not much give to them with out cracking, looks to me like the mold was off some or they warped coming out of the mold. I like them just wished they had fit so I can get my car back together. plus Im going to have to modifiy the inner plastic of the wheel well.

 

what is FG?
flava do you recommend the carbon fiber hoods from redline in that group deal? just want to make sure i wont have any regrets.

 

yea your goin to have a ruff time with thoes fenders,i got a pair of z3 fenders from sco and they were just way way off so bad that i had to send them back...so good luck with them.They look good now you just got to get them to fit right.

 

Those fenders look a lot nicer than I expected. I cant wait to see the finished product!

 

FG = Fiber Glass

 

This thread is making me laugh...everyone just listen to Flava 24/7 45% of his car is carbon fiber and it looks badass. The fenders look nice, but the contrast from them and your door panel as well as the front bumper could look a little off, but no one will really know until we see it in a better shot. Even then, if its what you want to do then who cares what other people say on here. They are just trying to ***** the thread up and get some posts under their belt.

Edit: Found these on Ebay, sorry if someone already posted. They look like the same ones..

There made by Carbon EFX, the ones I have seen in person from them have looked really nice. Dubbya and DirtySoufmax have them.
I will be ordering one soon from Redline to replace my current one.

 

alright thanks.
does anyone have an approximate weight difference on a carbon fiber trunk from the stock one?

 

Most likely the mold warped. It s pretty common depending on how many sets were made from that mold.
Some Co. only use a mold so many before going to a new mold to avoid warped products.

 

The CF trunk is close if not under 20lbs. Quite a bit lighter then the oem.
Without a spolier, my trunk would literally fly open when i opened it.
Adding a spoiler or removing the torsion bars would eliminate that.

 

I am not a CF fan at all thats my .02 but its not like we drive race cars, paint that stuff!

 

Hmm I bet the color contrast makes it look like the gap is even bigger than it is.

 

hahh sorry i did spell cristal wrong thats what i get for typing fast

 

I would paint those body color. If you leave them unpainted, your car will look like a patch job from far. That is just my opinion though.

 

Hmm wierd. THese guys are like 10 minutes away from my house....never even heard of em before "octane motorsports"? wuts up with the club lookin pic they have on that ebay add? lol is it a club or shop?

 

Damn, I just saw this thread, Cant wait for more pics. They look better than I thought.

Your car is going to have more CF than flavor if you keep it up!

More pics. . .!

 

So now you have a CF hood and front fenders...and the rest of your car is white. Why don't you just CF your whole car? I still think it's 100% rice. And that aluminum weave looks cheezy.

 

What aluminum weave are you talking about?

 

damn 100 percent!!!
p.s. nobody cares what you think.

 

dam Euro another set of rims?

your car looks hot, but i duno man the cf fenders look too over kill

 

the weave that is in the "vents" on the those CF fenders. Open your eyes.

 

I agree the mesh inside vents is kinda corny in my opinion but lose the attitude please.

 

Thats not a weave dumb@ss, thats wire mesh. Mesh and weave are two different things, not to mention two different looks as well.

 

so you take any new pics of the car with them on......

 

As you can tell from the pics the fenders are warped, Im waiting today to find out when i will get a new set shipped to me. Hopefully the new ones wont be warped and i can get them installed.

 

 

I got this weave put in last week.
