all carbon fiber (doors, hoods, roof, etc) would look even worse IMHO. Its not like any of these pieces are real carbon..all are just fiberglass with carbon overlays, so starts looking really poseur-ish IMHO. Good luck whichever route you go and post pics

For sure i will keep posting up pics.
I guess i will have to see how it turns out once all the parts come in and on the car , then i will post up pics .
that might be the best way to decide ..

Asuka and Mastergrade are fiberglass with carbon overlays? Sometimes I wonder if you read anything or just make random posts out of your ***.

Fairladyz- your on the right track. Right now it looks pieced together because you don't have most the parts you ordered yet. I'd say to wait until you get the hood, hatch, pillars, and roof installed to see if you want to finish the car off. The side skirts will help pull the kit together, have you seen Asuka's carbon fiber body kit?

take the giant chip off your shoulder...I didn't read what brand of carbon he was doing, perhaps I overlooked it. I'm sure you've been wrong about something once or twice in your lifetime. My opinion of what it would look like still stands though, and it's just that - an opinion.

I notice how nice and polite you are when asking me for pics of products that you want to knock off though. If my post was made in haste, and was inaccurate, a simple correction would suffice - no need to get your panties in a bunch.

My panties have been removed, but your giving your opinion on something you didn't even read.

Full carbon Z's are cool...

Don't forget Mikes car, its alot like what your asking about. Maybe it just works because of the silverstone color, but hes all CF with rear fenders/doors non CF.

That's the good stuff I'm talking about right there. Asuka and Mastergrade both make amazing quality carbon fiber.
