In regards to the turbo install: Right on, dude. Glad you're not letting the haters get to you. And I don't think you're in the same group as the Veilside-wing guy because you're actually doing performance mods, pretty major ones I might add.

P.S. I choose the stock black-out sticker over OEM paint showing for the B-pillar because it looks "cleaner", but just my opinion. My order of preference (for the B-pillar) is:

1) Real carbon stickers
2) OEM black sticker
3) OEM paint showing
4) And uh... "Never never never never never" to the faux carbon stickers. I don't know if I have enough "nevers" in there, but feel free to add some for me.

Bart!

Haha, yeah I got the point.. one of my buddies told me he didn't like it either, but it's not like im overwhelmed because I put some cf stickers on the covers, I honostly don't give a crap lol.

Anyway, yeah I'm headed to "The Hose Shop" in Piscatawy NJ to get a 32 inch stainless steel hose made for me because the one that Greddy sent is a bit cracked where the nipple comes out. I don't want that **** to explode and start leaking oil everywhere. It's kind of pathetic of them not to watch out for crap like this, if I hadn't had noticed it.. could've caused a leak, or worse.. an engine fire. That exhaust manifold gets red hot, and if that line starts spitting.. Other than that, I'll have the entire thing completed today.

Pics and videos right after :]

I didn't know that stickers made your car look clean... well, you did say that it's your opinion.

I'm glad I found an appropriate thread for this question.

I'm pre-planning the look of my next RX8 (white) and among the visual objectives, is to apply a two tone appearance.

I'm planning to add REAL carbon fibre components to set up this appearance. Now I've run into a snag... I do not want a carbon fibre hood, however I am entertaining the idea of a carbon fiber triangle on the hood. With this applied, I'm planning on adding a custom color vinyl onto the carbon fiber triangle. This will be a finishing touch.

Recap:
Hood triangle: CF: Matches the other body work.
The Vinyl (placed on the CF piece): Orange text: "Mazda Speed"

I don't want fake CF stickers if possible. A real carbon fiber piece would be preferable.

Here is one band I've come across:

Not trying to be an *** but a fake CF sticker is really no different than a real CF sticker.

Me: Admitting lack of knowledge here... I thought it was possible, carbon fiber would be flexible when not formed with epoxy. That is, real carbon fiber attached to a adhesive backing, covered with a stretchable film surface.

I was hoping for this... rather than a printout of "the look of CF" slapped to a sticker sheet.

Either way you are looking into applying a sticker to your hood to make it look like it is CF. Regardless if it a real CF sticker or fake CF sticker, it is still fake. JMO

Alternatively... I could buy a real carbon fiber hood sand down the whole surface and mask off the triangle, get the hood painted, then clear coat the whole hood again.

Or... I could buy some CF sticker and "stick it"

LOL
