Default My carbon fiber vert project

As promised here are the initial shots of the carbon pieces. I will be the first Vert with these pieces to my knowledge. All these parts are available through 6litereaterdesigns.com. Installed shots coming soon, but for now here is the carbon fiber shaker scoop (still need to cut my hood for it and have 5.7 Liter graphics made), carbon fiber diffuser and carbon fiber splitter

Are these a CF wrapped or full CF?

Regardless, they look SICK!

I just saw an installed pic of the splitter; too bad most of that sexy *** CF will be hidden under the bumper, but damn... it does look sick installed!

Are you getting the side splitter? Those bitches looks just as sick!

What about the canards? I can't find a good install pic of them to give an opinion. All the pics I've seen are on dark cars so I really can't tell how they look.

My TA is black and the pieces are full Carbon Fiber. Not doing the side splitters, they clash with the ground effects, only thing I may do are the ZO6 mudflaps or whatever they are

I'm doing a murdered out paint on mine along with a one off hand made custom wide body... I'm thinking the CF would be a sick accent to the murder.

Can't wait to see your car when finished!

How much weight savings over the stock components?

Im not sure what you mean. There are no diffusers or splitters on these cars. The diffuser is a couple of pounds, the splitter maybe 10 pounds

I dont think I am going to do the shaker anymore. I will put it on but my next plan is to buy the eBay Superhawk hood. Pretty sure there's not a vert with that hood yet
