Carbon Fiber theme

[johnjon87]

So I decided to go with carbon fiber on the entire top of the car and leave the rest white! I bought the carbon fiber 3" trucarbon hood, carbon fiber roof from bangastang.com, carbon fiber trunk lid from Cruzinconcepts.com, and now Im just waiting on info for the spoiler. Ive talked to lethal and they have it there but Im just waiting on trufiber/trucarbon to respond regarding their carbon spoiler I saw in there discussion board. So basically I'll have a two tone thing going on the entire car white except the top of the car so.. hood, roof, trunk lid, and spoiler will be in carbon fiber! Lemme know what you guys think!

Two tone is always a risk, but it sounds like you have a good combo, but like most things, you gotta see it to know. Good luck with it, that's a really cool project & may turn out awesome ... and definitely a distinct look.

I would like to see pics asap

Pics?

yep-pics to judge

IMHO, that's more for the import scene. Not a fan of "caps" (stickers...) for the roof either. You'll want to have all of it shot with a good coat of clear as well - the factory coatings will not hold up to the sun over time.

Jon, sounds sweet! Pm sent as well

 

[johnjon87]

anyone know how the Trunk cap is attached to the trunk? cuz it kinda just came to my attention looking at the new trunk that I will need to get that on there..

 

[2blown]

the trunk is a replacement trunk bro, not a cap....

 

[johnjon87]

sorry the gt500 emblem cap piece.. not the entire trunk

 

[2blown]

oh ok... you may have to drill a hole or two to pop it on there...no biggie

 

[svtmadman]

Carbon fiber from three different companies isnt going to match worth a shit...but i like the idea.

 

[johnjon87]

that was just pics of what i was going for.. i couldn't find pics of everything at the same spot

The trunk deck came in today.. so now just waiting on the roof and the hood. The hood should be in around the 1st weeks of june

[stkjock]

is the roof an overlay or a total replacement?

 

[johnjon87]

unfortunately it just goes over on top with 3m.. so overlay

 

[2blown]

can't wait to see the end result brother

 

[johnjon87]

Just got an email from trufiber turns out my hood was damaged in transport so I'm going to have to wait another 10-12 weeks unless I can or they can find another one. Lemme know if anyone has any where abouts or is willing to sell a gt500 carbon fiber cowl hood
