Just be aware, and believe me I go back and forth on this daily...

 

If your car is a DRIVER, a daily driver, no matter what piece you put on there its gonna get the SH!T kicked out of it by "road crap", stones, etc...

So not too sure how long you can keep it looking "new".

 

The black plastic one that is stock costs about $125, bang it up and go get a new one. Not so with the $600-700 ones.

 

Just my .02

 

That said, I REALLY REALLY want that Trufiber "real" carbon fiber one...

i am not saying the hydro-carbon is not a good product , not really sure if it is a real carbon fiber , but if you compare the price of each {tru-carbon and hydro} the true carbon is less expensive at least on the side skirts if you going to spend the money like i did why not get the real thing

It's not.

 

Carbon Fiber is a material, similar to Fiberglass.

 

Hydrocarbon is coating painted on, to make your plasitc part LOOK like carbon fiber.

If you do install real CF then have it covered with a clear bra product. I have mine covered with Venture Shield (now a 3M product as well) and it really keeps the CF from getting rock chips.

Another option is 3m di-noc. You can wrap just about anything with it and looks real good in person. Once I get my hands on enough I will post up pics of what it looks like.

Hi, Super GT500.

 

Can I ask you where did you get the calipers color done? Did you buy as that color from the SPP?

Or did you refinish the color? That's beautiful colors.
