That's a real good price for CF. Compliment them with these decals for a more factory look. It'll be worth the money and if they've already been on a car, you won't have to hack them up to fit. They're ready to go!

Well i wasnt all that thrilled with the quality of the Carbon Fiber ones i had.. it wasnt the covers and how they fit but more about the "depth" of the CF and how it looked.. So i painted mine..

They are much easier than modding vette ones and they tend to sit better since they are more rigid.. I sold an extra set to a friend for $100 if that helps you at all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Mine did require some trimming of the back drivers side but it was pretty minor.. overall im very happy withthem..

Soon to have Marks bootleg, blackmarket completely evil FRC emblems <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

BTW Mark: seems Dave banned you because someone else posted about the product and in some way pointed to you (ie. I got these from MARK IXZD 150).. Andy made a nice post in your defense and I agreed that it seemed unfair to ban you for an event out of your control..

Duh! Now I wish I had stopped. Next time! I'm sure we'll be going to Rolling Meadows soon enough.

The car runs great!! Pulls like a bitch. How did it sound as I drove by? I did a burnout leaving a parking lot yesterday where a friend of mine works. He said it was the BEST sounding car he'd ever heard. "Exotic" was one of the words he used. That's music to my ears. Looks like all the hard work and expense is finally paying off if I keep getting compliments like that. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Default c'mon in and help me decide

i have a friend who's selling his CF frc's for $140, but i feel that's a lot of money for those bad boys. would i be better off getting the vette ones from gmpartsdirect.com for like $60 or would you guys go ahead and get the CF ones? thanks for all the input!
