Paint it gloss black and change the grill inside the scoop back to black and your car looks great,not crazy about the stainless steel ss emblem on the grill eithier,but as long as you like it man that's all that should matter ,

I think it's bad ***. Matches perfectly with your wheels and looks slick on that SOM.

if it looked more real then i would love it. but that seam they put in the middle makes me want to punch the person that did it.

I think it looks good. seam and the front ss symbol are the only things Id personally change. I like it though.

Umm you posted 3 times in this guy's thread saying how you don't like it in 3 different ways. I can see posting once, but multiple times? Really? We get it

Me, personally, I'm on the fence. I think it isn't a bad idea, but the seam is a little obvious. I tend to be undecided on carbon fiber on these cars anyway, real or fake.

Here's my full opinion::: I appreciate the time and/or money you spent to try this out; it's definitely progress towards a carbon fiber sail panel in which we're striving for, by showing us what a two piece cf sail panel would look like and by reigniting the initiative to create one............trying to stray away from the "I DID IT FOR MYSELF" argument...ppl shun this because its in actuality faux carbon fiber aka a CF vinyl lookalike. It's fine to wrap various interior parts in it, because quite frankly our interiors are cheap and shitty-like and anything would look better added to it. But for the exterior it's a whole different situation, because carbon fiber is realistically a lightweight material which has performance purposes anddddd aesthetics purposes..... I mean I don't speak on behalf of others, but I feel like my opinion doesn't stand alone. Hope that's informative for you.

Im on the fence on this... The edge in the middle doesnt look to good. It matches the wheels and stuff good tho.
