should i or shouldn't i add some carbon fiber to my car...
It is to my understanding that a car without the proper stance and even rims my look awkward with a carbon fiber hood/trunk so what do you guys think should I or shouldn't I? could i pull it off and if so the matte or wet finish thanks guys

 

I say do it, I love carbon hoods/trunk thats why I have the seibon ts and a trunk on the way, no drop either

 

Idk mine is stock with a seibon oem cf hood. look at my pics and see if you like it

 

I love the cf trunk, especially on VR's

 

so thats three for do it

 

damn im thinking about this real hard come april grr i demand pics on a vr

 

I have the Seibon CF hood, I took it off my old 8 and I'm about to put it on my new 8 with my Koni Yellow shocks and Tein S.Tech springs... It's gonna look legit...

 

i think you should go for it, but you have to think which part needs carbon fiber..
don't be like me, LOL...i got hooked with CF i hope these pictures will give you osme ideas

 

clean i love it

 

just bought koni's of the forum bout 20 mins ago

 

I think a carbon hood or trunk is too much contrast for a VR. How about a carbon front lip? Seibon comes to mind

 

i was also looking at those and the cf hood together... tryin to picture what it would look like

 

Is that wing attached It looks crooked.....or is it just sitting there for the pictures?

 

Nice, they are awesome, I love them, makes the car handle much more Flat...

 

Yes to carbon!!! It matches almost any color and will make the car stand out more...and if you dont like like it you can go back to stock...wouldnt hurt to try... next stop...carbon areo flares

 

If you don't like the cf. Paint it.

 

no, it's installed....i think i just didn't install it really good, just trying to figure out if it's good. i think it's the camera

 

i say carbon and paint it. i have the seibon tsII hood and i can't wait for it to be TiGray. personal opinion. carbon is cool but i don't like to show it off. don't understand spending the $$$ for a CF factory hood. the aluminum one weighs the same. get something vented. tsI or tsII. they look good in carbon and even better in body color.

 

I vote against the CF at this point for your car.
halimsteven's car looks good with the CF because he's addressed other Aero parts of his car and the carbon fiber is a nice touch.
on a stock looking RX8 (minus your Einkes), it would look too out of place. (no appearnace pkg, no aftermarket bumper, side skirts, etc)

just my $.02

 

I had a Base model wwp AT and the CF looked a little out of place as well. I mean I had no appearance package and 16's

 

I like them when painted like this car:

 

note the MS body kit, wheels, and MS wing.
that's why it looks good. IMO

 

Personally I'm not a fan of Carbon Fiber. I do like the styling of the hoods. Just not the CF.

The painted version pictured above is what I would do if I ever bought carbon fiber parts.

 

what he is saying is that if you want to have CF, make sure it flows from teh front to the rear. for ex: i fyou have CF, make sure you have the body kits follow it, otherwise, the CF will look lonely..IMO

 

not really a fan of carbon fiber as a styling device, if you put a hood on the car, make sure its vented, so it has at least some purpose. Personally even if i do get a vented cf hood i'd probably paint it body colored. alot of cheap cf hoods and trunks have really bad waves if you look at them under certain lights.
