Body idea's Stronger than fiberglass...
 
I keep messing my Front bumper up due to Hawaii roads....

I have a 2003 Redline Z...

was thinking about a carbon creation Bumper replacement....will that take a little more abuse???

Eventually Im gonna Carbon the Z out more if this route is more durable..... how much heavier is the Carbon bumper?????

The hood in my avitar has been removed because the hood developed white clouds (spots) so its back to stock...

Any ideas what to do????

Ive had my Z painted in certain areas a few times and im almost to the point of buying a Airbrush gun to do it my self.....

you can fix your fiberglass if they chip..but with CF? good luck. You might want to change your driving habit.. :)

Tell you what it never hurts to learn how to paint. I would say its saved me cash but in the end I think I spend more now cause I have to paint EVERYTHING! lol

what did u end up getting to paint??? what kind of kit???

Carbon Creations stuff is not that great and that is being nice about it

redline350ZZ Dec 26, 2005 08:10 AM

so where would u recomend a person shop for carbon fiber body parts???

Ive already wasted 700.00 on a crap carbon hood.... it had beautiful pattern...but the reson started to go white...

due to your road condition, if you get CF bodykit, if they chip, you can't fix it. Stay away from CF.

yea... little CF is ok.... maybe a front lip...

but not the whole bumper...
