Im looking do do some minor body work to my silver 8. im not huge into body kits but im really considering just going with the carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber truck and carbon fiber lip kit. But with the carbon fiber trunk i have the idea of putting my stock spoiler on it i think that would look pretty cool. I have already seen the threads about which trunks to get and every thing like that i just wanted opinions on this idea. if it would look good or not.

Hmmmm, hadn't really thought of that before. I think it would blend the colors nicely but would have to see a pic before doing it. Maybe someone on here has done it or will photoshop it for you.

are you planning on painting the trunk?

Chrisbmx

Yea i thought of photoshoping it but i would need someone to do that for me. But things look different in photos then in person but it would give me the best idea of what it would look like. i seen it on a WRX a little while back that gave me the idea of doing that it looked very nice. i think it would look good on the 8.

Chrisbmx

no i dont plan on painting the trunk i love the carbon fiber look

then i wouldn't throw a silver stock spoiler on there personally.

i think it wouldent look right, try going a cf spoiler on cf trunk. I had a cf lip spoiler on my OEM trunk and it looked really bad so i had it painted. But now that i got a cf hood i might swap out to a cf trunk with cf ms spoiler

Who would know how to photo shop it. to see what it would look like

i think it sounds ugly, unless it was a bb spoiler on carbon fiber. i think silver would stand out too much and look bad...

i want the car to stay stock body lines if that makes sence do they make a carbon fiber spoiler that looks like the stock one i tryed resarching it for a second but didnt come up with much.

i'm not a photoshop wizard, but i can try ... if you post a pic of your silver 8 i can try to get the trunk looking like carbon fiber, or post a pic of the cf trunk you want too...

what about a carbon fiber lip spoiler? i'm not a big fan of the stock spoiler in the first place and the idea of it in silver on carbon fiber just doesn't sit right.

Chrisbmx

this is the only photo that i have of my 8 right now its up on the aviator thing. im at work right now and my car is at my house so i will have to take one and post it up tonight after i get home. Im not a big fan of the lip spoilers i might consider that maby.

Chrisbmx

But everyone has done things differently with there cars and so i will have to look around at what other people had done with theres and get more ideas

I would look into the Autoexe Trunk If I were You... It's a carbonfiber Trunk/Lip combo. I'd point you to the group buy CF Trunk probably a dozen posts down, but if you read the last page you will notice that may not be a good idea...

Chrisbmx

I seen that thread about that trunk/lip combo that looks really clean. i only got about half way through it though ill have to go through the whole thing.

thebiggdaddy

Yeah, look for other spoilers other than the OEM one. It would look much better if you could go CF for both spoiler and trunk.

Chrisbmx

carbonfiber spoiler and trunk is a really nice set up in my opinion. Thats what i will most likely go with but this was just an idea of something different.
