I am wondering... with all the carbon fiber pieces out there why hasnt anyone manufatured carbon fiber bumper reflectors for the 03-05 Zs ??

 

why would they make carbon fiber peices for a car that you drive on public streets?

 

maybe because they woudl look like *** and defeat the purpose of them being a reflector?

 

I really dont think they would look bad at all the do reflect some light and honestly they would look a million times better than the ugly orange ones that come stock

 

well i do believe all the cars in the world use ORANGE for a reason.. let's see u driving down a street with parked cars at 2am looking out for carbon fiber reflectors or some..

 

i painted mine black to match my headlights, cf hood and cf lip. but i did the headlights n the side markers at the same time...



i dont see the purpose of them. i dont park my car in the street and i still have my relectors in my headlights. and in all honesty if a car is driving down a street with his headlights on and doesnt see a parked car, i DONT think two TINY orange lines are gonna make him notice it anymore than a big silver car/ shaddow that looks like a car....

 

they do make them, ive seen them before cant remember where

 

ebay??? i see clear ones on there 100 times a day

 

well if you find them let me know. Or if there is a Carbon fiber vender on here let me know also i want to get these reflectors in CF. I really like those painted ones they look good

 

Carbon fiber doesn't reflect silly.

 

LOL.

I would like to see somebody make a black plastic or maybe carbon fiber insert that repaces the reflectors alltogether and is actally a one piece design, that has 2 small (kind of louver styled) air vents that run vertically.

Using the louvers In the direction that would allow air to escape, as opposed to having them facing the other direction, which would be more like a scoop affect

 

Or better yet, a carbon fiber front grille for the 06'-07' model.

 

why wont they just make a car out of carbon fiber

 

Well figured they would look nice i am going to look into having these made

 

research it there already are some made of nothin but carbon fibre and if they crash a car of notin but cf driver wouldnt survive my friend

 

I can't see how replacing the reflectors with carbon fiber would look cool.

If you want to get rid of the reflectors, At least make it a functional mod.

Why not and go to the hardware store and buy some nice looking wire mesh, a can of primer and some semi flat black paint.

Cut the screen to the correct size to fill the void. Primer, paint and install the mesh?

edit:

On second thought that would be lame too

 

This carbon fiber thing is getting out of control!!! I can under stand replacing pieces for weight and strength purposes. But I think overlaying EVERYTHING is kinda defeating the purpose.

 

if u havent noticed alot of people like it for its looks, though i do agree it has gotten outa control and defeats the purpose, but hey fudge it (cant type ****)

 

i think evor makes them with amber leds in them. somebody does

 

Kinda bringing back a dead thread but i tinted mine with the medium darkness film from sticker city and they look black but still reflect orange at night.
