Thumbs up Any1 have pics of a PWP w/ CF hood and trunk?

Any1 have any pictures of a PWP with a carbon fiber hood and trunk by any chance? I'm rulling in the possiblity of doing this but I'm not sure how it'll look exactly , if so cool.

yeah the trunk is what I was really interested in looking at...I've seen the Dazz TSX and TSXRUS's trunk but, being that the colors are really different than PWP it doesn't help me paint the picture too well.

nice.

I'd definitely paint it, too. Or at least parts of the CF like Accuratein's WDP TL. Unless you're going for that "I got the hood and the trunk at a junk yard because I couldn't afford new parts & paint."

I'm not a big fan of painting a CF hood, the paint just adds weight back. Here's a good pic of PWP w/ a CF hood

HAHA
I think I should change my name to SimplePanda
I did think about painting the two outer parts of the hood, But I don't really know, I never really liked painting carbon fiber either and figured if I went with CF eyelids then it wouldn't look right.

Ok, how much weight does the paint add? 50 lbs? 100 lbs?

Besides, I was talking about having unpainted CF hood AND trunk. It'd look different than having just a CF hood.

well if you are really buying cf to save weight, why would you decrease the max potential of weight decrease by painting it which does add weight?

if you say that the weight of paint is negligible, i can pretty much guarantee you that buying a cf hood and trunk will be neglible in performance as well
