Default Carbon Fiber bodykits?

I've liked the idea of a full carbon kit for a long time.

Seeing as I have a black Z, I wouldn't paint it, wouldn't have to worry about chips and whatnot. Nice and easy care!

I'd have to get a lip for the front though, a carbon front cap/bumper unpainted (even on black) would look kinda dumb maybe.

What do you guys recommend bodykit wise? I saw that C West has a full carbon kit out; it actually looks kind of nice, but the finish looks rough. I would prefer something with a smooth/shiney finish.

Nice! Thanks for the link! I have this same kit coming too and I have SB with gt-7s. Kinda gave me a good idea how it'll look like ahead of time. I'll post pics when I get'em on.

Thanks for the link!

Anyone have any opinion about the qualtiy of the C West carbon stuff? I think the front/rear lip and side skirts look pretty nice, I just don't know anything about their quality.

Wow, thanks for the link.

That actually looks really nice on SB.

And I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, lol! But I actually kinda like that wing.

I like touring style wings, I just wish that one weren't so TALL. If it was lower to the car it would look a lot nicer IMO.

How much of a loss in weight are we talking about here with this CF bodykit? Is it just fiberglass with CF layered on it?
