Carbon Fibre Vinyl Instead of Black Top/Trunk
Here are the pics, what do you guys think? Will it be good on our SVXi?
Can someone photoshop some multi colored SVXi?

Re: Carbon Fibre Vinyl Instead of Black Top/Trunk
oh look added weight!
I doubt that stuff would last...once the sun hits it, the corners and crap will start to peel from warping.

Shrinkage! and everywhere you cut that stuff to make if fit just right you will damage your paint. 3 years later all of those scratches in the paint will start rusting.

Vinyl doesn't get affected by sun. Maybe after 10 years, yes. But before that I doubt it. BTW, the sqfoot of this vinyl costs $65. I don't think you will get sh!t for vinyl at $65. Michael might have a point while using the cutter and scratching the paint. At this stage what interests me in this is the looks on the SVX.

Nothing says rice like putting fake CF on your car when you're too cheap to buy the real thing.

Re: Carbon Fibre Vinyl Instead of Black Top/Trunk
That would be the only excuse. I think it looks ok, if you look for that modded german (I think) SVX with the gray roof it should give you a good idea of what it would look like.

Re: Carbon Fibre Vinyl Instead of Black Top/Trunk
why add weight... for a carbon fiber look?? personally I agree with the statement above I think raw carbon fiber panels look tachy. why not actually get a real carbon fiber trunk made for us I'm sure there would be people interested in a real carbon fiber trunk
