are those stickers?

 

The intake box stayed the same because I'm doing the turbo kit installation this saturday.

 

Did you decide to do the install yourself or are you having someone do it?

 

My self, a friend who's done a turbo install on his Miata, and 2 mechanics. Anyways, what do you guys think of the cf?

 

looks like stickers. doesn't have the gloss to real cf.

 

It is, bought a huge sheet of cf vinyl. It honostly looks great in person, pictures don't do it justice.

 

so they are stickers right?

 

Yes, but they're ultra lightweight.

 

Did that guy just say carbon fibre vinyl? What's your turbo kit made of?

 

Hey man, I rather spend $5 on the vinyl than pay god knows how much for the real thing.. besides, I did my b-pillars too. The rest of my money went towards:

 

nice carpet..hahaha

 

That's actually my garage rug.

 

You should peel those stickers off.

 

hahaha

 

I don't understand that. You're spending all this money on a turbo, but you don't care if your car looks cheap (IMO) with carbon fiber "look" stickers all over it? I'd say the stock plastic looks much better. Don't get me wrong, I think real CF looks cool, even if it's just a layer over the OEM part (ie. no weight saving, strictly for looks).

You get what you pay for. Real carbon fiber has a 3D look to it because it's actually woven cloth. The best carbon fiber look stickers can't emulate this, and most are just a series of circles printed on black (like all Mazdaspeeds CF stuff). It really doesn't even look like carbon fiber.

I say at least take it off the b-pillar and get these.

 

haha... that's funny.

 

 

Haha, alright alright.

 

hahahha

 

Cabon fiber imitation sickers!? First the guy with the veilside wing on his stock 8, now this? I've seen too much today...

 

Don't forget abflug guy, and the canards guy. Ike was right.

 

For those of you who are mocking this guy, you do realize that the black b-pillars are just stickers too, right?

 

yes

 

It's your car do what you want. It really doesn't look that bad.
