I just put on some Carbon Fiber fenders the other day with a friend of mine and I think it looks sick. All I need now is the hood and the bumper. How you guys like it?

 

just kinda looks like an unfinished car to me.

 

get the back doors cf too! but it looks real sweet. esp. with the smoked corners

 

^I wouldnt get the doors in cf. they are designed to form a virtual b pillar when closed and if you replace one with cf it could weaken that b pillar and in the event of a crash could collapse

 

eh i dunno.. i woulda put the money towards killing the massive ding in your driver door but thats just me

 

I know this isn't the type of comment you are looking for - but being honest: It looks like your car was in a wreck and you couldn't afford to get it painted.

 

^yeah even if you get the other parts you mentioned then it just looks like what mysql said, whole new front end with no paint

 

I would is that all the body shops in my area suck big time... All they do is a **** load of bondo... I don't have time to travel far to drop off my car I work everyday... but if you see it in person you cant see the dent only @ an angle...

 

sorry but I think it looks TERRIBLY out of place.
On a modified car I could understand but on what appears to be a bone-stock car, it doesn't look good.

you mentioned a hood and bumper?
CF bumper?!

 

If you see it in person it looks a lot better in the pictures it looks black but in person you could actually see it's CF

 

Ummm... no. Just no. Sorry

 

At least the fender fitment seems good.........

 

Carbon fiber is stronger than steel (as well as lighter). No worries.

 

^It may have a higher tensile strength but in compression its strength is not as high, also it doesnt crumble like steel it shatters and therefore would not absorb as much force once it reaches its breaking point.

Its not as safe...

 

any thoughts about painting it WB to match? it does look a little ghetto like you couldn't afford to paint it as mysql said.

 

Thanks for all the compliments and ideas guys... I was thinking about painting it but like I said the body guys out here suck and I have no time to travel...

 

Well for the door dent I have a contact with a dent wizard guy that is really good and get that out without a problem. Got all the dings out of mine ( hate buying used ). As for the Body and Paint. My car is in now being painted. When it gets out take a look. I should have it back Thursday night after 5. Stop by I'll be putting my bumper and lights back on.

 

i don't know where you are in NY but i went down to kenny in NJ to get my kit fit and painted. it was worth the trip down from CT.

 

To each their own. If you like it thats all that matters but I personally agree that the car looks unfinished. Paint them to match the rest of the car.

 

^this

 

i smell burning rice

 

If you're next to it, of course. But most times people aren't near your car when they see it.

 

Did uncle Ben have a sale on these??

 

i would paint the fenders to match the car... u ain't the police or highway patrol...

 

yes however I cant see a whole door of carbon fiber being able to withstand the crushing force of a car down on it without breaking, carbon fiber will not bend or give as steel would.
