Opinions on carbon fiber or not?

[TrackMustang]

The black looks more menacing, the carbon looks more lightweight/track inspired

I have some on my convertible that are overlays, but they are actual carbon fiber. They actually look really good. Actual carbon fiber tail light housings would be astronomical in price. I can’t imagine how hard that would be to lay up. Would have to be vacuum bagged.

Yes, I agree. If it was a true CF overlay then that would be an option. Case in point.... the cf against black tail light trim didn't do it for me.

Looking for in stock carbon fiber rear diffuser, wicker, splitter, side skirts, side skirt extensions & rear splash guards to purchase without luck. Any leads out there or suggestions for in stocks and/or good vendors? Currently I have all but the splitter (o/o with Scoggin Dickey) on order with Palm Beach.

Reminds me of the Marine Corps.... Hurry up and wait

The black gloss goes better with your black stripes

[email protected]. MPR Carbon has some nice wickers. You can see them on IG.

My two cents . . .
The carbon fiber does not look great with the gloss black stripes. Had the stripes been matte black or no stripes it would look better

I would pass on that and maybe look to a carbon fiber diffuser instead.
just my opinion though

Voodo GT350,
Thank you for posting these pictures. My car is pretty much identical to yours, my A/C deck lid panel is due here shortly, and I had been wondering how it would look. I have the option now of looking at it with and without it now. I think I like it.

I could not help but notice Mckinney, TX. on L/P frame. I purchased (used) 2020 GT 500 HP
there in Mckinney.

I hope Penske Vehicle Services did a better job on your stripes than they did mine. I'm sick to the point I'm replacing the hood (worst panel) and having a local guy paint the hood and put the absolute black stripes back on. Have you noticed the blue pearl / or fine blue metallic in the black stripes? Awesome under right light conditions.

Thanks again!

Overall, my stripes are good, and I haven't noticed any issues (sorry yours aren't what they should be, especially for 10k!). I didn't realize the black had pearl in it, maybe because it's just been indoors since I purchased it because of the snow Interestingly enough I'm having a custom boat built in Lake Havasu this year and I opted for blue pearl in all the black gel coat. It looks absolutely amazing in the natural light, so I will have to look closer when I get the 500 outside.

Lightrules (very nicely) on here posted my 500 in this forum and it started the process (wasn't plan on buying one, but this one was spec'd exactly how I would have ordered it). I felt very fortunate that I paid minimally over MSRP, especially since about a week and a half later it was announced they were suspending GT500 production earlier than expected, thus increasing pricing. I purchased it from Bob Tomes in Mckinney and the only drawback was shipping it to Montana.

I prefer the black......real question is why is the car in a trailer? Does it not drive on the street? LoL

Trying to keep the miles down so it holds her value

I love the way the black pops on there.

Voodoo GT 350, I haven't noticed the blue pearl in the stripes outdoors. Take a flashlight and look closely (indoors) and see if you see what I am seeing.

I looked but couldn't see it, maybe I'm blind
