What do you think of my Carbon Fiber fuel door on my Ti Grey 8?? Does it look ok????

flip

jenkins-crew

It is a replacement part, whole new door, not stuck on....

jniamehr

not my taste

i think it would look bad-a$$ on my black 8

nice one.. i for one like..

i'd say it looked better up close.
looking from a distance, you can sort of see a "mole" :o

I think the money would have been better spent on a performance part like underdrive pulleys. That part is total bling since the weight savings is negligible.

(I also have CF side pillars so I'm not knocking you for the bling part.)

It did shave a little weight - not much

You are right on the performance though.

I got the B pillars too :D

Moley..Moley..Moley :D

Well it will look more uniform when I get the Carbon fiber wing and dark grey/black graphics.

by definition "bling" is something that is shiny... in fact CF parts are quite the opposite as they do nothing really to make it look shinier...it's something that comes from racing..and racers don't give a $hit about "bling"..hey it may be negligible weight savings as you guys say..but every little bit helps. just my .02
would still like to see it on my black 8 think you should mail it to me and i'll hold on to it for a while

the door looks nice, but looks mismatched to the rest of your car.

Adding more CF parts will not make it match.

greg-

thats what i was thinking. On a tigrey it looks sort of out of place

youngpit

where did u get it from???

PUR NRG

That's your definition. My definition is anything done for looks that has minimal (if any) performance benefit, usually gaudy in appearance.

I think if you get black or gunmetal rims with dark tint, CF wing and CF hood then you get a pattern but having only one piece on the exterior it may look out of place but it looks ok.

I think its...different. But hey, its your car.

I do think it would look better on black.

Were'd you buy it from?

Mr. Ed's rx-8

looks good chris. i still need to see what the blue CF looks like. get that to match my hood while they are fixing my car. looks like i'll be getting the CF pillars to. trying to think of anything else i can replace while the car is in the shop?

scottmhr1

Sorry, just my op, but it looks like you tore the original off leaving the hose in and replaced it with something that didn't match

jenkins-crew

Carbonwerks was selling it on ebay pretty cheap, impulse buy, never seen it before :D

mikeb

not bad
its the first I've seen

rx-8pilot

I think it looks killer... screw the haters man... trust me, they all bash anything cool around here for some reason... anything carbon looks sweet IMHO...

jenkins-crew

Thanks man, I really appreciate that!

RX3+5

I think I like it.
