Viewing: Carbon fibre looks best on what

***waynne*** · 30-12-2009, 01:37 PM

What would you say carbon fibre looks best on or does it look good whatever car it is on.

Personally I think carbon fibre is best looking on Jap cars. IMO it should be painted on other makes and models of car.

I'm not even that impressed with the look of the Pagani Zonda Carbon either. Was there ever a time when unpainted fibreglass was in vogue?

The shelf.

***waynne*** · 30-12-2009, 01:55 PM

You're not a fan then. Or are you talking about the Shelf on the back of an EVO IX?

agree with c/b i dont really like the stuff sometimes it looks good have seen the insides of a late trans am done in it and looks good

but most cars looks bad
and to paint over it whats the point having it really unless you are racing

**MustangMan** · 15-05-2010, 08:54 PM

Not to be mean or anything, but the whole point of using carbon fiber is to make a car as light as possible and be very stiff.

Don't buy carbon fiber for its appearence, you're wasting your money.

**MasterAuron** · 15-05-2010, 09:05 PM

Agree with MustangMan. It only looks good on a car that's built with function over form in mind.

Carbon fibre looks best on cars that will really benefit from it. Putting carbon on your mums 1.25 fiesta is a waste of time imo

Any big power car that will see the benefit from it then yes. Big fan of muscle cars with Carbon they look nice and at the end of the day its a functional mod

I love the look of it on the right car. But something I really don't like at the moment is people having sections wrapped in carbon vinyl. It's pointless, offers no weight saving and looks fake.

**Skullion** · 17-05-2010, 02:14 PM

Don't go black bonnet mate. I found a carbon bonnet for you though: http://www.seiboncarbon-uk.com/pdut_...asp?ItemID=818

If it's only looks wise then you could have it vinyl wrapped. Personally I'm against it but it is an option.

I wonder if you could get a carbon fibre sink and bath to match?

**prevtec** · 17-05-2010, 08:50 PM

it looks nice on a pagini zonda, not a honda
when i see it on hatchbacks it looks nice, but whats the point, its still not going to make it that quick

supercars, not stupid cars

would be good wouldn't it, but you'd look like a right cock, but to be fair though I don't think they would think your cock if you had a CF bog after seeing you have a £1.5 million boat......

**Skullion** · 18-05-2010, 07:14 PM

Sorry Guys but I went out and did something draft llf

I know alot of yous are agasint it but I think it looks different as I was getting bored lol

***Prince*** · 18-05-2010, 10:28 PM

The important thing is mate... Do you like it?

**jarrus** · 18-05-2010, 10:46 PM

I think it looks good, you just need to better wheels now, go for some black wheels

**Skullion** · 18-05-2010, 11:03 PM

Yes I like it, as it's something different, might put a vent in it at a later date when I'm bored again lol

Yeah, next thing is to spray the wheels black as they are starting to peel which will make a hugh difference. Might do that next week auctal lol

**jarrus** · 18-05-2010, 11:09 PM

Awesome, get some pictures up when you do then chap

**MustangMan** · 22-05-2010, 05:49 PM

Carbon fiber looks best on this, (if it's even made of carbon fiber):

The jet boat from The World is Not Enough. AWESOME

**turbonutter69** · 23-05-2010, 09:00 AM

Aren't boats usually fibreglass?

**jarrus** · 23-05-2010, 08:55 PM

yes they are, but carbon fibre is better though

Yeah, regular boats are. That boat in the picture easily could be carbon fiber, though. I remember reading somewhere that that boat was so powerful and light, the Chevy engine could force the bow underwater. I don't doubt it!

O and I found the company that made the boat. Here's the website:

They are alluminium.

Yes but they say they cater to the customer, so if you asked for a carbon fiber boat, you could get it, but it would be expensive.
