i see this all the dang time!!! they think they can treat it just like normal paint! hence why when i just bought my car back i had to do paint correction on my cf wingblade because the previous owner didnt take care of it lol.

i would love some CF interior parts!!

 

All my cf was given to my automotive budy who professionally cleared them. Most idiots say its good out of the box because it has a "gel coat". Then they cant figure out why its cloudy in a few years.

 

It has a lot to do with the quality of the resins and their ability to withstand ozone and sun fade. Could you imaging what owners of 2017 CTS V Carbon Black edition Cadillac's or any of the other high end OEM cars would do if their Carbon Fiber components looked like crap in a couple years. Most of what we even have access to doesn't even fit for crap.

 

Which surprises me the thread was even started......

 

i agree. very surprised as well when i saw this pop up. even here there isnt a lot of interest.

 

I like carbon fiber like I said before, but im old and im not driving a Zonda. The weight savings is minimal for these cars.

 

with our new dritech technology on a cobalt ss with high rise wing vs our tjin trunk the weight savings is pretty good! i can always pull one and weigh it for you guys if you want!

 

Have you considered making any new products?

 

we have come out with the new stingray z hood a few years ago that sold very well and also the tjin trunk but not sure if there is anymore demand for anymore new products for this vehicle at this time

 

I guess that's the end of this thread then.

 

its been dead for awhile...we talked about doing a sedan oem trunk or sedan tjin trunk but couldnt get enough people interested sorry!

 

Yep, not many SS's left and most of the new owners are cheap. Like I've said, if I didn't have a black car I would be interested. Would love a vented hood. Did you all see the mustang type hood on fb that the guy made himself. Everyone loved it and wanted one.

 

Well nowbthat I'm super close of getting a sedan a tjin truck would be nice lol

 

After seeing the 10K mile SS post, there are still some great low mileage cars out there... Just a new phase of owners. I would be tooling up for some Civic Type R parts.

 

A Tjin trunk would be sweet on a sedan.

Like I said earlier, I'd love a carbon Tjin trunk, I'd even love to add a vented hood to that mix, but I'd be the type to paint it to match the car, so mas dinero on top of the parts. I have plans for a few other things first though before I go after looks(like a built trans and cams/springs/E-tune to see what this Z54 can really do).

 

I only have carbon fiber on my door handles. But my car is silver so I think it looks pretty good

 

Carbon Creations stingray hood on our '06 Cobalt



Our 06 Cobalt SS SC and our 01 GMC Sonoma at a local car show.

 

Can CF be painted so that it has a finish as good as the stock paint job? I'd like a stock hood and trunk in CF but I'd want it to match the stock paint job.

 

Painting Carbon Fiber can be done, but to achieve the desired look that you are looking for is a costly, time consuming, labor intensive task that is highly recommend to be approached by a professional.

 

How about that sedan tjin trunk now

 

someone should have brought back the SS hood. makes sense with the SS cobalts

 

look at my hood on the first page

 

I have
Hood
Wing Blade
Dash Trim
Rear Bow tie
B Pillars
License Plate Frames

 

^ love you old cars hood

 

Thank you!
