Default CF Nismo kit question

Which one is best? I was looking at the carbon creations one as it looks like it fits real well (from pics). Anyone have any input?

Also the price on these are about the same as the JDM NISMO kits, however I was thinking the the crabon fiber ones wouldnt chip like the JDM NISMO fiberglass, any one think that is a stupid reason to buy it over the JDM kit? I am planning on painting the whole kit so no matter what you wont be able to tell its CF. The one thinkg that would be exposed is part of the wing.

See where its black here:



thats the part I would leave carbon fiber, that way it would look real clean on my Redline.

they arent true carbon fiber... it is carbon fiber overlay over fiberglass with clear coat over it..

if you are going to paint it... best off getting a higher quality fiberglass replica...

That is unless you really want that carbon fiber sticking out... We have painted a few so it has that part painted black... The NISMO ONe you have pictured is just painted black...
