A Very Carbon Fiber Christmas - Merry Christmas to my P-car !

When you were younger, did you ever get so excited that you run up to your buds yelling " Guys, Guys, Guys!!!" - well

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS !!!

Just arrived the other day, and it will go on over the holidays. For now, here it is in the breakfast nook after a good polish. (Thanks much to WWJD - REAL Straight shooter - took care of shipping from OC to NJ - Guy is a great 6speeder!)

















And of course, here is what it's going on (as soon as I dig it out - dam snow!):

seems like you need to reclear-coat fender/bumper. looks like the color is off(?).
looks good otherwise. not a huge fan of the body.

Awesome!

Points for being different....my suggestion would be:

Ditch those wheels for some 22" Techarts....lower the truck a tad....and when you install that hood paint most of it to match leaving just a little CF to show (the vents?)

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

OK some quick photoshops - I will tinker with some semi-painted designs later.

What do you think of these (note I virtually powder-coated the wheels in the black pic)

ALL SILVER:


FULL CF:

Awesome hood...I'm looking at the pics. and some look like the vents are open but on the close ups it looks closed. Is it open or closed?

BOTH - WOOT - The block off plates bolt on and can easily be removed.

Take a look:

Definitely and as a matter of fact I found a perfect way to do it.
BC Racing coil-overs. I have yet to see anyone do them on a C, but their rep on other cars are stellar. Can pretty much slam my C at will. Going to wait until spring for that one though.

Also got the itch to change my wheels so prob will put these up for sale soon.

Awesome looking hood!! Almost looks too nice to mount on your Cayenne, you might want to consider using it as a coffee table

Congrats!!

Hence my dilemma to paint it! Once the paint hits it, thats all she wrote. Really leaning towards the bare CF up the middle.
