Definately unique. IMO, the best exterior use of carbon fiber is the unpainted scoop section of the MCM hoods. Next "extra" $2000- I'll do it.

There is a company that already sells them. I have to look around. That same company has carbon fiber side skirts and carbon fiber diffuser. Some of the parts are good, some are alittle much for my taste.

I think it looks great because of the color of the car-like on a black,blue or red it would just stand out like a sore thumb and look to bad.A little carbon fiber goes a long way(IMO)

Doesn't look too bad. I would say the color of the car would have a lot to do with how well it blends in.

I saw those on a website that was selling them (can't remember the name of the site). I think it is a cool idea but couldn't really tell from the pics on that site how the fit was. Are you happy with them? Do they fit like they came from the factory that way? Thanks.

I have seen that companies web site, but do not recall what it is. I think that would only look good on black, at least for me

I might be interested if they are real carbon fiber, the fit is good, and the price isn't stupid. Where can I get more info?

they fit right in that flat spot and are held on w/very thin industrial strenth double sided tape(this is the real deal carbon, NOT painted or sticker), I'll see if I can get a 150mph run in today or soon and let you know how they hold and I'll take some daytime pics, didnt know somebody allready made them :bang:, cant say the name of the company because not a sponsor, pm me for more info....

I know they have a website, you are allowed to post it so people can see what the company offers. Your informing the forum not selling it to them. That company also offers sideskirts, rear difuser, and few other parts..The side skirts and that part are the only ones I like.

You can also check out Vette Essentials site and look at the
What's New section. Lots of new CF pieces for the interior and some others.

Just gotta find some rainy day money now.
