I gotta be honest. I always hated "fake" carbon fiber. It used to come as an adhesive sheet, now they can use a method called "water transfer", then clear coat it, and the effect is impossible to detect, unless of course you pick it up. I looked into some of the real pieces offered for the GT500, and they are so expensive, and many have had fitment issues. If I had stacks of money to waste, yeah I would spend all of it on the real carbon product, I think it would look great on the car.
What's the general opinion on the use of this "real" fake looking carbon fiber? Is it looked upon like putting a VTEC sticker on your car? I'm still on the fence about doing it, but leaning more towards "don't do it". Just curious for some feedback on what you think when you see a car with fake carbon fiber. Be brutally honest :burn::thumbsup:
Some pieces I would like to do are: the air extractor on the hood, the lip of the front spoiler, just the Gurney flap, perhaps the upper radiator cover plate, the rear valence, mirrors, possibly the radio button steering wheel trim.
Thanks!
