Such a thing as too much carbon fiber?
 
So here is the thing, I am deployed over seas and my FR-S is still on order, that has not however stoped me from doing some considerable spending on aftermarket already. Ive already got the INGS+1 full body kit, Large Nur. Spec Wing and the Seibon VS carbon fiber hood and trunk as well as the Charge Speed CF Roof Fin. My question comes down to wether or not you guys think I ought to get the Seibon Dry Carbon Roof for a total Carbon stripe down the top of the car look. Or if you think the white roof with carbon fins would be enough. Also dont worry about pricing thats not an issue in this discussion im just lookin for opinions on how you guys may think it would look.

I say you can never have too much carbon fiber.

I'm personally curious to see CF on an asphalt FR-S, it's going to help me on my decision to pick up a CF hood and trunk.

Depends on the color of the car, in my opinion. If your car is black, then I don't think the roof is necessary. If it's any other color, I think it'll look better with the carbon roof. Maybe gray or blue, as well, can get away with not having it, and look alright, but I think white, orange, or red MUST have the carbon fiber roof. In my opinion.

Add on carbon fiber is bad. Carbon fiber to reduce weight is good.

Not all add on CF is bad. It just depends on if it is functional or not. A functional CF body kit would techincally be an add on but it would benifit the car and thus wouldn't be bad.

The hood vents engine heat, the trunk reduces weight, the fins reduce drag and look effin cool I'm my opinion and the roof would seriously reduce weight and lower the center of gravity

I pulled the trigger and got the dry carbon roof replacement and not the overlay. Want to thank publicly Simon at body-kitz.com for the help and things we was able to swing for me. If you guys want seibon I highly recommend going through him he will definitely do right by you... $ $ $ ;)
