What CF parts should I add, if any?

hunter8793 · 12-29-2022, 11:01 PM

I was thinking the mirror caps and CS style spoiler. Also, maybe the side skirts.

The car is wrapped in Matte PPF

Looks great just like this if you ask me! I love tuxedo. Of course for many, there can never be enough CF.

Powder coat looks amazing, too.

I would delete the reflectors and that's it. I have a feeling CF would be "noisy" on what is a subtle and sleek build. I love the matte.

I love CF, but I tend to agree with others on your particular spec (which is awesome!) . Personally if it were me, I would do gloss black ground effects and spoiler if you could find. Leave this mirror caps alone and delete those reflectors too!

josec70 · 12-30-2022, 07:28 AM

I’m going to go against the grain here and say CF against light paint and dark wheels will make that car pop.

It is to me “all or none” with CF so if you plan to do it I would do Rear Spoiler, Rear Diffuser, Side Skirts, Front Spoiler and Mirror Caps.

Go with what “you” like as this is only my opinion and clearly subjective.

Some food for thought …

hunter8793 · 12-30-2022, 11:22 AM

Thanks guys! I think I’m going to just leave it alone.

This. I would do black around with your spec. Looks great!

I ordered that carbon/Alcantara wheel piece, the IND white side markers, the carbon gear selector, and I'm just gonna paint the rear reflectors black. I also ordered the metal paddle shifters from evolve. I'm strongly considering a cs style rear spoiler from RW carbon.

i have the CS rear spoiler from RW a couple of weeks ago, just didn't have the time to install it yet.

Still waiting on my full CF diffuser from RW, it's been about 6 weeks and counting, plus the gear shifter CF trim to be shipped together.

Nice! They just told me it will be about a 4 week wait for that spoiler.

Every time I see pictures of your car it makes me want to powdercoat my comp wheels black but then I go back and forth because I think it looks tacky on other cars. My car is brands hatch gray and I think it would work with it but Im still going back and forth on it.

Nonetheless your car is a dream spec! Well done!

"josec70 style" wheels against BHG would look SO good.

I vote for yes!

hunter8793 · 01-16-2023, 07:34 PM

Just got the shifters, wheel trim, and shifter trim installed. It wasn’t fun but I got it done.

Do it!

It will look great on BHG!

My biggest takeaway from doing it is added depth perception really emphasizing the natural concavity of the wheel. I was suprised by how much this added.

Calipers will also pop more.

That’s a great point. Even in the pictures you can see they look more concave. I’ll probably fall for doing it sooner than later.

Thanks for the input!
