Cf fenders
Hey guys what do you think about these carbon Fiber Fender pieces? Do you think it would look fine with a white frs with gloss black roof? These are by Seibon. Would you guys think it might look too out of place? If anyone could photoshop it would be awsome!

I think it looks kind of weird. But then again I'm the type that would get any CF parts color matched.
Also those are 10mm wider hence the vent. Seibon also has a replacement fender with no vent. |

Theres no point in painting these because its all for the cf look right? since seibon doesnt really have weight saving... i thought it was a nice alternative because i dont see any fender pieces out there and for its price it seems pretty nice |

The whole mismatched carbon fiber look is terrible. If you're just looking to save weight, buy some painted FRP pieces.

I'm not sure about the weight as I don't believe anyone has weighed these parts only the hoods which wasn't a significant difference.
Adding 10mm on stock wheels will add to the sunk in look of the front. |

Do you guys have any suggestions on aftermarket fenders? Maybe i can get this fender and then have it painted over but leaving the vented area show carbon fiber?

Just get the regular cf one. If you plan on getting aftermarket wheels that will need the extra clearance get the extended ones.
As for FRP no one has made any that I know of. But those might be made to be wider as well. |

You mean leaving the whole part from vents back cf? Idk I'd have to see a picture of it. It would be different though
