Any one else want carbon fiber (Hood & Trunk)

I just orderd mine from Seibon. i hope it looks good.

 

I've seen a couple of IS with CF hoods, and it looks subtle enough for black or smoky granite. I just don't see it with any other colors without being blatently "rice."

 

Im thinking of getting the hood and trunk from seibon also. What color IS do you have? I've got an SGM, so I think it should look good. Post some pics when you get 'em.

 

Tungsten Pearl I wanted SGM but at the time no one had it.
i set up an appointment but a week prior someone hit my driver side door and it needed to be replace. when I took it in the dealer seen it right away.

 

Do you have a link? I want to know if the trunk comes with pre-drilled holes for the badges or if it's completely flat...

 

sorry an appointment to trade it in

 

This is the seibon site

I bought mine from these guys

its all pre-drilled
and the factory part (trunk handle & carpet) will go on the cf trunk.
it does not have emblems

 

Just curious - why replacing the hood with CF material?

 

sportier look for the most part. Some weight reduction.

 

Both the cf hood and trunk package was only 35 lb shipping

 

I have CW.. would it look bad with CF??

 

Depends on whom you ask. I think all unpainted CF body panels/doors/hoods etc. look ghetto. But that's just me. Some people want the world to know they've got CF, so it gets installed bare.

 

For the cars with some color... candy coating the CF products looks pretty good. It's much better than the "Carbon Kevlar" deal...

White/Black combinations are fine, as long as it's offset by other carbon pieces on the car.

 

I dont think so. Depends on how your set up is. I have a GFM and Im thinking of getting hood and trunk combo. Not sure yet. Just don't want to fix up the new IS as much as my 1st gen IS. . .
