Can't afford it, fake it

Interesting find! Don't know if anybody already knows about it, but its new to me.

This company has developed a kit that turns any part into a Carbon Fiber look. Check it out the process doesn't seem that hard.

Let me know if anybody has tried it,

As long as you can live with yourself going the ricer route. I would rather not have the CF part then "fake it".

[elev8_dude]

okay, I guess your right

My limited budget will have to wait......

Looks good though

I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as you don't go overboard with the process and try to use it on everything. For around $160.00 dollars it may be a steal, just my two cents.

That looks like the same crap you buy at pep boys...a sticker...what a waste....doesn't even look remotely close to real carbon....

I don't think you could get a "sticker" to wrap around some of the parts that they have applied the process to. I think the wheel below is tastefully done. If it looks too ricer, I guess I need to get a Honda then.

For $160 USD you can start making your own CF parts. Accept no substitutes

The opinions here are as flared up as my hemeroids.
All I can say is....
BLAH!
To each his own and more power to ya! I've been wanting to do a Gaudi "Mullholland Look" with HUGE wings and a carbonfiber Flamingo shaped gear shift painted yellow w/ bright pink polka-dots and plush house carpet ...NO..Plastic grass for carpet with bright red Honda wheels and a happy face instead of a VW logo.

You got sumthin to say about that!?

C/f is nice (sometimes). Tasteful minimalism is nice. Baroque is nice in toiletry.
We're all human and love our cars. Can't we all just get along?


Peace...Love.
And Mery Christmas, ramadan, Hannuka...NO, I can't spell..Sue me.
