Thread: Carbon Fiber???

Do you want an actual CF hood or just the look? You can wrap your stock hood if you just want the look.

if you were to wrap your stock pieces itd save a hell of alotta money.

and then when you realize how ricey it looks you can simply peel it off

Carbon Fiber your roof??? RICE!!.
And a sliding ragtop on a gp would be intesting to see.

You should make a member's rides thread, with some pics of your car! I would like to see it to make suggestions, you know.

I said it's rice because unless you're driving $200,000 sports car, a carbon fiber roof on a gp isn't really believable. Whatever though, post pics, theres a couple guys on here with some impressive audio.

i like the look of bare cf as long as its real cf and not a wrap, also like the look of painted cf if is real and not a colored wrap,
dont think anyone on here would be much help,
so if you do find a link or something lmk

To answer the original question, I don't think any company makes a full cf stock hood. The PFYC hood isn't even full CF, it just has a CF skin.

My opinion on CF, it looks better if it's just a vinyl because a good vinyl doesn't yellow.

Doing the roof CF isn't ricey, its euro. Either way your car is a domestic and I don't think it would look too good. That being said, if you do the hood, get some roof rails and cover them in CF vinyl. That'd look good IMO.

yeah i forgot to add something,
what he said about the roof, the new bmws roofs are cf plan no color and we got a red one, 2011 m3 red with a cf roof look ****ing amazing

I use this train of thought when it comes to aesthetic mods. Unless it looks like it could have come on the car from the factory, it doesn't belong.

When I ordered my vinyl, I ordered gloss black. But what I got was a CF look-a-like. Its grown on me.

i guess as long as your not trying to pass your car off as a lambo then its not truly ricey. but man if youre not gna try to make it quick just do the wrap. its not worth the money.

kieth do you have closer pics of your roof? did you get CF, or are you saying the Gray-ish color looks like CF?

Damn that looks good! I have a white coupe... I need to get pics up asap.

My buddy has a vinyl shop and for a show they wrapped a 2010 Maxima in Matte Black with Carbon Fiber accents (mirrors, hood, spoiler) and left the chrome handles, grille, wheels, etc... stock. Looked really clean for a stock car.

This is what you need to keep in mind. Carbon fiber by itself on white, at least in a large area like the whole hood, tends to look out of place. But when done right... can be very clean. For instance, get a CF Cowl hood or the CF SD hood and vinyl most of the top white to match and leave the scoops, or cowl, or make something showing the Carbon Fiber thru, just not the whole hood by itself.

For consideration of what I mean, the following hood is a full Carbon Fiber, 1 of 5 made by Intense... you can't get them anymore, just an example of fine showing off of Carbon Fiber... notice the hood is white, but the underside is all CF and the Heat Extractors are showing CF... very clean, very subtle, all the benefits
