Carbon Fiber Splitters/Side Skirts/Diffuser

[MixTape]

So anyone have any idea when the carbon fiber visual parts will be available for the 2015 Mustang and how much they might cost? I feel that it would be a great understated mod for my Guard Green EcoBoost instead of putting stripes on it. The carbon fiber splitter/skirts/diffuser just looks downright classy and makes the black unpainted plastic look cheap by comparison!

Many of the SEMA cars had CF trim on them. Personally life throws far too many curbs and potholes to ever put that on my car.

Yeah I saw that, hopefully it comes out soon!

Did you ever consider an appearance customization of the stock parts like this?

You will be hating life the first time you hit a curb after spending the money on a carbon fiber splitter.

Im gonna wrap mine on my GT with PP with 3M carbon fiber film. If it gets curbed, peel it off and replace it. I wrapped my dash and door panels on my Factory Five Daytona Coupe with it. Easy to work with if you have a heat gun, just dont try to wrap it outside when its cold.

You're going to paint it guard green or black to match, right?

Exposed carbon fiber belongs on ricers and supercars.

Ricers do carbon fiber vinyl overlays. God I hate that shit.

You leave exposed CF to show off that you've got high-end materials on your car, not because the pattern is all that cool looking. I can understand doing it if you've got some genuine stuff on your car.

I'd like to see them make gloss black versions in plastic as an option as well. Don't feel like painting the stock parts.

I'd never do it. My favorite moment ever on any forums history is when Bill Goldberg was building a 73 Trans Am for his wife and posting all the details on pro-touring.com. It was the first F-body with CF fenders, roof, hood, trunk, doors, wheel wells, nose, everything; and he painted it all!!! It was so awesome. Pissed almost everyone off.

I live around a few cars with unpainted CF trunks and hoods, so goofy.

Big parts? Maybe. A CF Hood, doors, trunk, or any other large piece? Okay, maybe leave a small, visible stripe or design that would take a little bit to notice. If it's just accessories (lip, spoiler, side view mirrors, heat extractors) there isn't any real weight savings and it's just ricey...at least in my eyes; especially when people define rice as an acronym - race inspired cosmetic enhancement.

Fair enough, different strokes and all. I tend to appreciate CF in the form of highlights, like on the roof with a tinted set of windows to enhance the cant rails, or as ground effects like the ones highlighted in the OP's post. Not a fan of the exposed larger body panels only because that tends to break up the body lines and such a large real estate tends to show off imperfections in the weave pattern. It really depends on the specific car and to what extent the owner's gone through.

Love the acronym; all show, no go. ;)

Yeah, like TnCoupe, I was going to do the same to mine, but I was going to get the Blue Carbon Fiber wrap to match the color of my DIB GT.

Well I suppose I got what I deserved, this is the last time I'll ask a question pertaining to visual mods on this site since it won't get answered and I'll just get the "make it functional" nonsense. Do people not appreciate the look of carbon fiber, even in a small amount? It's not like I'm putting fake hood scoops or something on it, I just like the look of genuine carbon fiber and hate the unpainted plastic so I figured it would be a nice way to class-up the car. Seems like people get way too wound up about certain things around here :headbonk:
