Fuck That! Me personally that shit is way to flashy and pointless. But what works for some, don't work for others.

RUTH'LESSDET · 11-13-2007, 04:55 AM

secretly it seems as if alot of people like it still only off by 8 you'd figure it would be a land slide or something...I wont lie i voted for it initially

808_Drift · 11-15-2007, 09:24 PM

Not.
I like carbon but in small tastefull amounts. I hate all that carbon interior trim shit that everyone has. Carbon hood,truck/hatch, carbon bucket seats (the shell like the bride seats) but thats about it. Depending on the car and the color somtimes people can pull off a large amount of carbon and not have it look stupid.
So anyway id say just have that shit striped and painted real nice. Probably cost less too.

motorsnail · 11-21-2007, 07:32 PM

I said not. But not that it looks bad even though it does. The idea seems good for a show car I just dont see the point. I guess maybe if it wasnt laid on top of sheet metal and didnt look all janky. So if he did it for show its still pointless on his part because it looks like poop so he fails. Would like to see it maybe done better with a better car maybe an actual show car would be sick with carbon fiber engine bay because it has all the other bling goodies that bling together not just some laid carbonfiber in a rusty engine bay.

Neejay · 11-22-2007, 02:01 AM

I like it for a show car. I, personally, wouldn't spend money on it. I think it looks pretty cool.

Sky 3 · 11-27-2007, 12:28 PM

Hot! Carbon kevlar would be HOTter!

RUTH'LESSDET · 12-03-2007, 07:03 PM

Only on the Z-tune R34 that comes w/ a carbon reinforced strut towers this looks good.

*S13Boosts* · 12-12-2007, 12:07 PM

not a great idea.

cleantune · 12-13-2007, 07:31 PM

wouldn't the resin for the carbon fiber melt near the turbo? I don't know. Maybe if the car was just a promotional show car......

hijack3d · 12-14-2007, 04:50 PM

You know what? I don't care. Hahahaha...

Well... It's neat 'coz it's something that I don't see on a normal basis, and I'd like to think he did it and didn't care what anyone else thought...which gives him another +1 from me for not giving a shit. But I say do what makes you happy.. and if you like being accousted by CF, sparkles, primer, B-Team strippers, gold foil... when you pop your hood, then so be it.

RUTH'LESSDET · 12-14-2007, 05:33 PM

another bump lol

Drifter Z · 12-14-2007, 10:01 PM

98koukile · 12-20-2007, 11:57 AM

Cool idea, but only if he had cf fenders, hood, bumper... then his entire front end would be cf and that'd be kinda cool

sijia10358 · 12-23-2007, 03:25 AM

i think its pretty cool..because no1 has it!
