I'd say talk w/ some of the sponsers about this. The domestic car community isnt as accepting so-to-speak of CF as the import crowd. But Im sure if you got a good painter, he could make the paint look like carbon fiber. It'd just cost you a little bit more than your regular gloss paint.

Is there anyone with a silver (not pewter) SS with the manta stripes? Just front, or front and back.
