Would it be silly to....

have carbon fiber mirrors & a carbon fiber hood on a white 89 NA? i was talking to some guy at a local auto customization store & he was all "it'd look like patchwork. you'd have to paint the car.. blah blah blah'

maybe then i should just paint different parts of the car different colors. ⌐_⌐

Unless your paint is really nice it may look like a junkyard

 

[JoeyD]

okie dokie. i guess i'll have to save up for a good paint job to. hmm.. now to decide on a color. ô_o

To each his own.

Black hood, black mirrors, bronze or black rims + white car = the sex

 

[suprahero]

I agree with Jon, but it's your car and you should paint it the color you like, not what some guy at a customization shop likes. If we're giving our opinions though, you can't go wrong with 8j3......................:biglaugh:

No carbon mirrors but I think it looks good.

 

[swaq]

I agree with Loki, though sometimes it reminds me of the ricer Honda boiz with their white Honda hoods black to pretend it's carbon fiber... I'd paint it, but that's my opinion.

I wouldn't get the mirrors at all though because I don't think it'd look very good unpainted, and if you do paint it then what's the point? The weight savings of carbon fiber mirrors can't be that high?

 

[ViR2]

its not the savings, its aerodynamics however u wont feel any differences before u hit 200+ km/h

I like painted carbon fiber.

I plan on having anything carbon fiber painted lightly so you can still see the weave underneath

^To each his own!...

I saw a vehicle with painted Carbon Fiber that was very faint and could see through it...from a remote distance (even a few feet away), it looked like someone put down 1 coat of paint and let it run in little squares. :nono:

Not a fan of that...but oh well.

 

[suprahero]

Agreed. :icon_bigg

just remember it is your car, not theirs....do what you like not what everyone else tells you to do.

I think that a CF hood and mirrors would look good on a glossy dark blue, red, yellow, white black, and so on.

 

[boostin89]

real cf hoods look good on almost anything.

 

[s383mmber1]

No carbon fiber mirrors! How much weight could that possibly save?

Carbon fibre hoods on white cars with gold rims make me feel funny down under :icon_razz
