| Posted: 8/9/08 11:52AM Post subject: Carbon Fiber Body Panels ? |
|
|
Are there any carbon fiber body panels out yet? If so, I'd like to pick some up before the car goes to get painted :P We'll flash a little CF in the raw, but the bulk will be painted.
Thanks in advance! |

Wow $570 for a hood of this size... LOL! R&D costs are R&D costs... i guess LOL.
I guess no CF for me. I'll just stick with good ol heavy panels.The car is going in for paint at week's end or next week, so I don't think we'll have enough time. I like my CF painted =] |

| Yea I know. It's a shame that the parts for the xD are so freakin' pricey when there are Yaris parts we can use and other parts on the car are smaller than a tC hood which is the same price. :? |

The first one is actually the ExtremeDimension hood. Don't remember who made the hatch and fender pieces though. I do know they're local to me though. |
