alright so i have a 2009 Rally Yellow SS/TC Sedan that has black 6k projector HID's, blacked out tails, limo tinted all around, and blacked out SS badges, and its lowered on sportlines...heres what i want to do....

i want to powdercoat my stock SS/TC wheels gloss charcoal grey with a yellow pinstripe on the lip, OE style carbon fiber hood, and carbon fiber trunk....

any thought or ideas??

Thanks

 

yeah no yellow pinstripe on the wheels. looks stupid on rims with no lip for it. not to mention charcoal alone would look sharp. reminds me of the c5 z06.

if you get a carbon hood and trunk paint it. i think it would be totally overkill to what you already have going. if you decide to not take the paint advice then atleast take this.....go to a bodyshop and make them clear the hood and trunk because the clear they say they use(its gel coat) is garbage.

 

I would say go ahead with the powercoating but fiber carbon installation...yea, you reduce weight but it doesn't really look good on cobalts and thoses "reduction" don't compensate your gain in speed that much. Unless you are going to a complete fiber carbon/aluminum body

 

it shaves SOME weight. sure not a whole lot but there is some to be saved with the correct carbon panels......cf tech is what i use. parts are lighter then others ive used...if your a really baller get crawford composites......yeah lightest stuff out. makes a huge difference.

if your not using carbon for weight savings done buy it

 

ya i thought it would be kinda overkill too, thats why i love your guys opinions lol....and alright no stripe on the rims then, gloss charcoal grey all the way...i just wanted the carbon fiber for looks not weight reduction....thanks for the opinions guys its helping me decide what i want!

 

post a pik when you finish her up

 

i would do the cf

 

i will for sure post a pic....but its going to be a while im still on deployment

 

i heard with the carbon fiber trunks when u hit the trunk release they just pop up. thats probably the biggest benefit lol

 

Then your car will look just like mine. haha

 

yes lol except i have a sedan and u have a coupe its hard to find sedan carbon fiber trunks though

 

carbon fiber ftw!

 

I like the carbon fiber but it's so hard to find a sedan trunk in carbon fiber
