goldgus Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERGT500 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I recognize that booth from SEMA! REAL CARBON IS MOSTLY USED ON RACE CARS FOR THE WEIGHT SAVINGS. THE COLOR IS NEVER TRUE ON ALL THE PARTS. THERE IS A DIFFERANCE. HYDROCARBON IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT CAME OFF THE CAR. ENOUGH SAID!!!!!

2010KonaBlueGT Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 i am not saying the hydro-carbon is not a good product , not really sure if it is a real carbon fiber 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. Apples and oranges....

Slabo Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0201212 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGT500H Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I HAVE MY 2010 GT 500 IN HYDROCARBON OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. YOU LEY ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK 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. Jason C.
