Going carbon fiber
Has anyone done the hood, the trunk, and the lip spoiler in carbon fiber? I found a few pics of each on seperate threads but nothing all together. I'm thinking of just dropping a grand and doing it all. My car is Anthracite.

you wont find the cf lip spoiler, i've tried, ended up purchasing a knock-off w/ LEDs and was going to get it painted, but it's been sitting in storage for over a year.

This looks like CF lip spoiler:

How is your CF hood wearing? I read here about the engine heat messing up the finish.

the finish actually isnt bad, just one little spot on the clearcoat that is getting hazy, and near the grill there is some slight stress cracks in the clearcoat from being slammed close. i wanted to get them clearcoated, and IMO that would have been perfect and probably kept the finish nice.
So how much weight do you guys think that would save, with the trunk and hood?
Maybe 60lbs?Here is a link to a silver CL with the trunk done.

That should make up for the sub and amp in the back!
sorry to bring this thread back up but thats my car. pretty cool to see it on here, i guess the old owner posted it on here. and thats also in front of my house. he was my old roommate.
and the carbon looks better in the daylight after a nice wash and wax.

I am thinking of the trunk still. Will run about $580 including shipping. Then getting a carbon fiber lip spoiler. Not sure what to do with my current trunk, however. I hear that sometimes the carbon fiber gel on the hood flakes off from the heat of the engine.
