Picked up a new pair of fenders

[her name is ponie]

I'm going to eventually do some sort of custom paint to these but for now I'm just going to leave them raw for a few weeks to see if they grow on me. These are Trucarbon / Trufiber T1 carbon fiber fenders. They look AMAZING, these will go well with the side skirts, chin spoiler, mud guards, trunk and 1/4 window deletes i'm currently running. I'll be tossing these on Saturday and I'll update this with some photos!

I don't know. I like the look of carbon fiber and think it looks fine to have unpainted hoods, roof, trunklid, etc, I think when you reach the point of fenders it no longer looks right unless the doors and rear quarter are carbon fiber as well. At a maximum I might leave the center portion for the vent unpainted but that would be it.

I'm going to end up painting most of them but for a few weeks the raw cf will stay

I have to agree with mfergel. As cool as CF is, whenever it goes beyond hood and trunk, it gets to looking ricer to me. I absolutley love the look of your car as it sits, ponie. JMHO.

I guess as long as you like it, that's all that matters!

Once you get them installed post up some pics.

Thanks! Like I said most of the fenders will end up getting painted. The side skirts and chin spoiler are really subtle so really just the window deletes and trunk stick out. Once I paint these only the center will remain CF. Should compliment the car really good

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Leave it raw!! CF is beautiful!! More is better when its done right. It's only ricerish if you make it that way. It's not like you have a neon green car with cool graphics and a giant fartcan. Google ricer car then google ricer car carbon fiber. Two totally different results. You may not like the cars and that's fair, but you can't argue that what is generally considered "ricey" doesn't really consist of real, quality, well taken care of CF parts.

The trunk, side skirts, 1/4 window deletes, mud guards and chin spoiler will stay raw but the fenders may be a bit too much well see after I install them on saturday

Sweet! How much do they weigh?

I'll weigh them out before I toss them on the car I do know that they are lighter than the oem ones

Meh, I blame my phone.

 

[TGR96]

Haha!

 

[her name is ponie]

I'll post pics of my JDM civic instead lol I'm joking tomorrow when I install them I'll snap lots of pics

 

[Slowstang305]

Post pics!

 

[lethe]

Damn that looks sweet. I can't wait to see them installed.

 

[her name is ponie]

I took a few photos during the install but I'm beat from work school and the install lol. These are NOT a direct bolt on at all. They still need some more tweaking but I need to clean up the car for FFF tomorrow. Here is a quick photo

Looks awesome. It would look great if you painted them and left the vents unpainted.

That's exactly what I'm going to do as well as the hash stripes
