Default Pics of Carbon Fiber parts installed (additional pics added)

I'm not really a big fan of these carbon fiber parts, but I thought I'd share with you all anyways. Here some quick pics I snapped of the car after I pulled it out of the garage for the first time since SEMA. If you're interested in these parts, let me know. Sorry the pics aren't that great...I just wanted an excuse to use my new lens.

Looks good! Do you have any close up pictures of the fitment of the hood and trunk? I'm curious as to how the Seibon CF parts fit on the F

Looks different but pretty sweet IMO. Fenders are a no go for me but the hood and trunk look sweet. More pics and info when you get a chance. I think there are a lot of people who will be asking for more info

I don't like too much CF stuff on the car, doesn't look clean. If I care about CF light savings, I would paint it.

Yup...we had 4 other cars there too!

Here are a few more pics to show fitment.

Hood







Silver Weave close up



Fender



Trunk









I'm not sure of the specifics as in weight difference vs. stock or retail cost as this was the vehicle that Seibon used in their booth for SEMA.

I like the hood. Think it would look good on a dark colored F

Damn I really like the CF pieces. I saw them installed on an ISF project car that I posted about a while back. I like it, but I think it would look less contrasting if the car was black or graphite

WOW. I love the fenders - if only they had 'em for the 350!

Thanks for the pics.
