Why not share a pic of the car. All comments are welcome hate or love. Just because someone might not like the car doesn't mean i don't value their opinion.

Other CF parts include Seibon CF lip and other accents. I am looking to get a hood, roof, and diffuser to complete the CF look. Either way, good luck to you and sweet ride.

Shit!
You can pick up a vis trunk for that much.

Bro, tell me about it. By the time we build our cars like you folks in the states, we could have built 2 cars. Story of our lives here in Hawaii. Haha, and the sad thing is, $100,000 a year is not much to go off of here in Hawaii...especially with a family. Word of advice, don't live here, just come to visit lols.

Build a car in SoCal and ship it to Hawaii. All the aftermarket companies are here lol.

Spoken like a local who lives off the tourist industry, "come visit, spend lots of money, then GTFO."
Oh, Hawaii is part of the states, last time I checked. Maybe you meant "mainlanders"?

Panda Mao · 04-20-2014, 07:20 PM

imo too much cf on the car will make it ricey but just enough to compliment the car via accents is fine.

other that for heat dissipation I dont see a point in cf hoods the oem hood is already light as heck

brz_star21 · 04-20-2014, 10:21 PM

I tend to stay out of these threads that never really have a definitive answer to them but in all honestly, whether it's done right or wrong boils down to personal preference.

Just like clothing fashion, we all wear what we like to individualize ourselves. A great looking car might look ugly to another. Even from different cities and/or countries a preference of taste and style might develop.

I personally think the white car with green accents looks pretty tacky/ricey. It's not the carbon fiber part, it's the green accents. It's personally not my thing so don't take it as hating but obviously the owner thinks it looks good (as do others that have commented). Is it right or wrong to like or dislike? Like I said, it's personal preference. It's your car, so do what you like and stop worrying what others think or say what you should do to YOUR own car. No one else is paying for it and driving except you.

Just modify the stock aluminum hood for functionality in that regards...

Just a man's opinion.
purchased for looks - wet carbon - rice
purchase for weight savings - dry carbon - not rice

ilpad · 04-20-2014, 11:23 PM

idk, I happen to really like the look of wet carbon fiber...... My car is going to have quite a bit on it here soon.

Its a personal thing and when it comes down to it "it's your car!"
