Not a fan our cars in general, especially on interior pieces. I actually did like the tasteful carbon fiber on that SOM SS on the first page. It's okay if done tastefully under the hood too if it goes with the theme and the car's color. For example, to me, my color doesn't go well with CF at all. Polished stainless is a much better idea. I do have many black metallic accents that go very well, but it would look tacky and out of place if they were CF instead.

I was thinking because of issues im having with my top changin the top panel to carbon fiber but then i see sooooo many ricers with carbon fiber hoods, trunks and wherever else they can put them that i had to pass. I know you can do it without getting a CF but my whole view on CF parts is ive seen them on so many japanese cars that its ruined it for me. This is not bashing on anyone that has CF parts im sure on some it looks nice and with the right color and theme.

Can anyone point me in a direction of where to get some good cf wrap, i ordered a small roll but i dont think it will be what im looking for,i dont know im just trying to get some ideas for the engine bay, its a white ss with the white n black theme going on. Im having the punisher logo airbrushed on the lid, i just dont know what else to do, i wanna add something besides gloss black, i know this is off topic, any ideas on parts that would look good in cf under the hood

The wrap im looking for i was told comes in a kit with the wrap, mix gel coat,clear goes on with a paint brush etc, i did search i just have no clue on what im buying and with so many cf wrap sites i dont wanna buy the wrong stuff, any help please,also if anyone that has experience with this stuff could give me some info that would be great

I've got a 1996 Camaro SS, they were marketed as Z28SS's would it look good if I put both Z28 and SS badges on it. I was leaning towards carbon fiber like the one in the above picture, but I'm willing to go with stainless or 69 Z badges. Would both of the badges on one car look good. Your opinions please

I have a carbon fiber lid... Going to have a couple interior pieces. I think it looks good and I like to think I have decent taste.
I was trying to remember if I had the same lid, and I think I do. So in small amounts I guess it doesn't sway my opinion either way.
