Default Carbon Fiber Look - Where Can I get The Same Look

How do I get this look for side skirts and rest of the pieces to the car and what is standard if any?. Put my order in 6 weeks ago but did not order any carbon fiber but saw this at another dealership and love the look.Thanks and my car is being built in 2 weeks and trying to find or just buy from GM and get installed the car comes in. I love the look of all the carbon fiber on almost all the black outside pieces. Sticker on car said Visible carbon fiber ground effects package. Anyway all confused on what comes stocked in carbon fiber and what is in the package for $4,000. Thank you again to all







The Z06 on the side is carbon fiber

APR, C7 Carbon, Anderson Composites, Apsis, Katech, etc etc etc

They all make all sorts of visible carbon fiber parts for the car. Be careful though because the carbon fiber bug will bite hard. Once you do ground effects, you'll need the fender vents, hood vent, quarter panel vents, tail light bezels, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, etc all in carbon fiber. I'm almost done swapping everything carbon flash on my car to visible carbon fiber.

Thanks and why did the dealer have all that on as there was no mark up except the $3,995 charge. I am sure it gets expensive.. Have you completed your car as I like the Carbon Fiber look better Thanks

Your problem is that you want to do it on-the-cheap, as you mentioned "it gets expensive." Go to amazon.com and buy the carbon fiber sheet decals and have at it. You're not going to be able to duplicate what you think you want, but don't want to pay for.

The exposed carbon fiber package for $3,995 is side skirts and front splitter. That's it. I have it on my car and love it.

You can probably get aftermarket for similar price or little less.

It's a LOT cheaper to go aftermarket when it comes to the "visible carbon ground effects". For $4k you get just the side skirts, front lip, and stage 2 wind deflectors in carbon fiber. Everything else is still carbon flash. There are much cheaper aftermarket options.

Mine just happened to be a leftover new 2017 with visible carbon fiber package and carbon fiber roof option that I got 20% off on.

I added rear diffuser, hood vent, fender extensions, and fender vents.

My rear spoiler is on the way and ordering tail light bezels, rear brake ducts, and rear quarter panel upper vents soon.

OP, you're in Maryland. You might want to contact some of the forum vendors about picking stuff up at Carlisle in August. If you get ACS stuff (not sure what CF stuff they sell but easy enough for you to go to their website). ACS does installs at Carlisle so that's a plus. ACS is among the many great vendors on this forum.

The front splitter and side skirts can be had for about 50% less than mentioned here. Go to Weapon X Motorsports website. They are a forum dealer, and the parts are real carbon fiber.

Have had them on my Z06 for almost 3 years. They have been great.
