Reason I ask is I want Dayle's wing... Don't want to deal with paint and such, and I really like the look. But I think a matching lip would really help to round the car out - one carbon part looks silly, but 2 or 3 starts a theme...

What would that theme be??? Brown or white??

No I suggested keeping it off of your car if there was a brick wall or guardrail within 5 miles

It would look like a rose.... growing on a steaming pile of poo

Carbon on Red?

I know you're attempting to be sarcastic in a demeening way, but I'll be damned if I get it...

I've seen a Laguna with some carbon, and it looked good. I think the red could look good to, plus I HATE to paint, so it saves me from re-painting the wing if I get the carbon one.

I was poking a little fun at whether you prefer brown or white rice??

I know painting can be a pain but carbon fiber layovers are exactly that. The use of carbon fiber is to lose weight and gain durability over fiberglass. If you are not using it for this purpose, then why bother?? Both fiberglass and carbon fiber are meant to be painted to match, which is what *should* always be done

haha. Good joke on the rice thing - totally missed it! Way I see it, you have to seriously go out of your way to get a non-4cyl to be a ricer - Certainly a carbon wing doesn't qualify you compared to most of the atrocities out there.

"should" would be the key word in all that - fact is, I can get away not painting it, and its fine. Vs. the gel coat, if I don't paint it, it looks ugly.

[It's Just Eric]

I wont be offering theese in carbon fiber, for obvious material costs vs demand pourposes

Im gelcoating the parts I put into production so they will be as easy as humanly possible to paint. I could very well leave it raw fiberglass, and save quite a bit on materials, but that means a ton more work for you

That must just be the shadows playing on your hood in that signature photo . . .

I do! I just have to wait to finish up all the stuff I got going on here and I should have the pics up within the next day or two.

I kindda like it.
Gives the car more of a blunt nose, instead of just the bumper sticking it's "nose in the air". Reminds me more of a skyline front end.

[ridered777]

Hmm. Oh my. Perhaps it would look better w/out a license plate on the front? Hopefully? Maybe a different grill?

I think it's something about the sides that bugs me, I feel like it would look good from the front... it's weird that I can't put my finger on it at the moment...
