To CF or not to CF?

So after my accident, I needed new headlight covers and I didn’t think they could repair my old ones so I got a set of CF covers. Turns out they fixed the old ones and they are good as new now so I have a choice: CF covers or painted covers. The OEM ones fit slightly better, but it’s not biggie.

Well, you might be able to sell the CF ones…so depends on how much you can get for them really.

they look retarded, go with stock

ps - how are those hankooks?

Paint them, it looks like pieces from another car at first glance.

On an unrelated note though. You have snow there already?? I R jealous. I want to go skiiing so bad!

sell cf and use stock

Ok, weems lik the general concensus. I thought the color would blend in more, but they are more grey then black. Thanks guys.

The R-S2 Z212s are sick, great traction, really quiet, and good life. I’ve had them for 2 whole summers of beating the car (no track) and they still have 2 summers in them. Now I have 225/50R16, when they’ll be finished, I’ll get them again for the back again (cause I wanna go 245/45R16 and not many companies make them), but for the front I wanna try the RT615.

Yeah we had our first snow last night, I was kind of hoping for a nice day to drive the car from the bodyshop to the storage, but I’ll have to settle for this, at least they didn’t salt the roads yet. lol

Get a CF hood and those would be perfect

The problem is I can’t afford a hood, I just got a huge bodyshop bill. lol

By the way, if I were to get a hood, would the pattern match? These are Chargespeed, if the hood was from say Seibon, would the pattern and color match?

^^ it all depends on the weive i think thats how its spelt i could be wrong

Its spelt as weave. ^he’s right, even if they were from the same company, it still would not necessarily mean that the pattern wold be the same.

Unless you get a CF hood to match you should just go with the stock ones. Without the CF hood it looks weird.

Go with the stock look, even with the CF hood I think it still would’nt look good it looks awkward.

paint way better look outta place

i say carbon fiber but im partial to it…but if you read my thread you would know that asking certain people on this site is pointless all they do is fight about it… i like it i say got for it…
