good point, i def should have thought about my post options better before i posted, just wish i could change them.

 

If the carbon fiber is on a 98 ford escort it's considered rice.



If the carbon fiber is on a supra or 350z its considered "Hawt".

 

ok, so then in your opinion cf is for just higher end cars? ^

 

Of course, thats why lambos, ferraris, zondas, and the world famous Mclaren F1 is made of Carbon fiber. Indy cars are also carbon fiber, they even have carbon fiber brake rotors.

 

+1

 

well to lambo and zonda guys we are making ricers. they prolly look at us like we look at civics. just tossing it out there, but am i right?

 

That might be true, when all they can see is our taillights as our single turbo monsters pass right by them.

Sorry, browser froze.

 

If done right then it looks great.
My car is black and has the Stillen CF hood, most of the hood is painted and only the bulge/cowl is still CF and it looks great. When it first went on and was all CF it did not look right.

 

hm........no?

 

Stereos aren't bling, they serve a purpose. I don't think you read my post before responding.

 

If you're driving the car on the street, then I think it's pretty ricey. Exposed carbon fiber only lends to excessive peacockery *ahem*

If you have a race car, or track car, I can understand...but if you're driving down the street showing off all that carbon fiber, it's really just asking for someone to vandalize, rob, ticket, or steal your car. Not to mention, most of the CF products out there are simply carbon fiber overlays of your standard fiberglass+resin kit. Real CF > CF-FRP (and costs much much more)

I haven't seen many CF parts that don't discolor after a year or so.

 

wow no comments on the zonda

i guess people just come in and click reply without reading the whole thread

 

Well, if you want a comment of a super exotic car when we are talking about putting Carbon fibre on a 350Z then I guess I will paste this:

I would rather have a car that is made out of carbon fibre that is painted then left with the exposed weave. This is my personal taste, so if I had a choice between a non-painted carbon fibre Zonda or a painted carbon fibre Zonda, I'd personally choose the painted Zonda.

The CCX's body and chassis are made out of Carbon Fibre. It has the first industry's carbon fibre wheels! It even has a carbon fibre intake plenum. But you would never know it from the picture.

 

lol that *is* rice

To each his own, but a lot of people (myself included) think authentic carbon fiber looks best unpainted.

 

That CF XBOX face is for over-clocking right? Now you have twice the processing and cooling power! NICE!

 

I think the definition of rice is so subjective that it is hard to have one solid answer. However, I am all for CF as it saves weight in most cases as long as you are not buying the cheap stuff. I have been lagging on getting my dry carbon stuff done, which is what I really want because that is ultimate weight savings and strength.

Just keep in mind that what you do to your car is your own preference and do not be bothered by what people say on here because well ummm..... look at their car...
