Carbon Fiber...

[kantkillkeenan]

ok..the only CF fenders i have EVER seen are on this kids CB7 in pa. i got my h of him and he was at the atown meet. he will never sell them. also he has a CF trunk from VIS and its one of the first ones they ever made.

personally, if you got the cash..call Seibon

as for trunk lids, no you cant find them just anywhere. there are only a handfull of good ones, and only a few more than that were made to a sub-par level. i think less that 15-20 exist. door handles would be a pain in the ass to make, and would have nearly zero performance gain.

Not feeling the fenders.

Me neither!

what is confusing? stickydiljoe (member on here, also runs the chronicles) had the first one made by a company and went on to get a small group buy going which i think was only like 10 trunks or less. another company bought the molds and screwed them up slightly causing fitment issues and only made a few IIRC. those are the only carbon trunks that i know of. a member on here was trying to make one himself and seemed to be doing a great job at it, but i never saw it get further than a few pieces of the mold.

so who makes the good CF trunks?

nobody anymore, you have to find one used. there is one for sale in the traditional classifieds though. dont expect to pay anything cheap though, its in almost new condition. 400 would be a lowball bid IMO.

what about these? are they not true carbon fiber or just poor craftsmanship?

That's true carbon fiber but if I remember right they have fitment issues.

i always thought VIS was a reputable brand?

ive read the first runs were terrible, but they fixed the issues.

idk, anything will fit if you make it...it couldnt be that far off or they wouldnt be selling them still.

i know my car is hideous, but the carbon shit all over just looks like mismatched panels and imo looks terrible.

hood and trunk look good, anything further is a mess lol.

your car is pretty sick if you ask me my friend. i just like the whole carbon fiber look. I would want to do hood, trunk, fenders and possibly fenders.

what? you want 2 sets of fenders? a CF lip would look nice with all of that but it is brittle.
