Calling all CF hoods/trunks
so ive been told as soon as you get your cf parts you should go get it clear coated before installation to slow down the fading and cracking is this true of not because this is the reason im not getting cf hood and trunk
Yes, all CF will fade eventually unless you clear it and wax it. I learned this years ago, doesn't matter VIS, Seibon, Carbon Creations, etc. Been there done that. It's worth the extra cost fi you want the real look.
Its certainly not a bad idea but i simply wash the car at least once a week and try to get a good layer of wax on it at all times and my hood looks the same it did a year ago when i got it brand new. Seibon has a gel coating already put on there's so maybe VIS is different.
Lol ill post some of my WB when I get on MY actual computer... I have a Seibon CF TS hood, looks clean, Hey 9k, since im not at home you should upload the pic of my 8 from the state meet to show them 
You see the thing about CF hoods and the RX-8 is that the hood is made of VERY lightweight aluminum, the CF normally ranges from being barely less weight, to a little more depending on company. Your not going to be sheding much weight from CF for the 8, but it'll make your car look clean, which is what we all want right???
