Opinions of Carbon Fiber on Winning Blue

Thinking of getting the Evo- R front and rear spoiler lips in Carbon Fiber. How do you think carbon fiber would look on a winning blue 8.

Thanks in advance.

I simply don't like the look of carbon fiber at all, so my opinion is obvious...

+1. I do like carbon fiber hoods on certain colors though. But, I don't think carbon fiber goes well with blue at all.

i'm thinking of adding CF to mine too. i just don't want to promise anyone anything yet. it won't be a hood or trunk though.

Its all about how the overall look of the car is. Personally, I have a CF Seibon TS hood that I was going to have painted Galaxy Grey to match my car, but after installing it, it turns out my car looks SO much better with it left unpainted. And trust me, I tend to hate the CF look.

Part of it may be balance. I put on a Mazdaspeed wing at the same time, and with strakes as well I just love the overall look. Here's some pics of my car.

Well yours is GG, not WB.

I plan on getting a CF hood on mine, and eventually I'll get it repainted but I'm not in a big rush.

I'm glad I saw this... I have GG and wasn't sure hwo Carbon Fiber would look... I have been thinking about the integrated ducktail trunk spoiler combo... I think IF I balanced it out with a Carbon Hood it would look sick.
