Totally! I think it looks awesome. | 13 | 30.23% | |
It's alright. I think the OEM trim and Carbon Fiber trim ranks about the same looks wise. | 10 | 23.26% | |
Are you kidding? That looks hideous! | 20 | 46.51% | |

Carbon Fiber Exterior Trim or no?
What do you guys think? I don't know why but I'm really liking it. I also think that it might not be as prone to fingerprints as the black OEM trim. The only thing I'm worried about is that it might not look as good with SG as it does BS. What do you guys think?

Just ordered it! It's easy to take off so if I don't like it down the road, it can be removed in about 10 or 15 minutes. I also ordered something else which is twice as cool! I'll post some pics once I get all of my mods done. Have about 4 beyond what is already installed on my car and they should all be installed by next weeks end. Don't want to do too many considering this car is a lease.

im personally not a fan executive. unless you had other CF trims to your car. for example CF trim interior, or a CF lip. i think that could work, have the CF theme going on.
yea those fingerprints get annoying as hell, but thats another sacrifice that has to be made with black. |

Anyway, I'm sure you guys will like it when I'm done and I know I'll like it. It's going to be somewhat of a CF theme. Just in the places you wouldn't most likely expect. It will be half done by next week and then 100% done a few weeks from now. |

CF for looks is completely against what CF is for. CF parts are to increase performance by reducing weight.
Gluing unnecessary CF on your car adds weight and hinders performance, plus most of the available stuff looks cheap and if you're familiar with CF (the real stuff) it will haze and yellow after time in the sun. if you're into it, that's fine but it's kinda boy racer glue on stuff....... |
