Custom C.F. symbol to go with the hood and black graphics!

.....or maybe some cheap vinyl C.F. tape?

dont shave off the little triangle thing - if he didnt want the triangle he most likely wouldve bought a different kit

but evofan's idea of a carbon fiber logo would be just about the coolest thing ive ever heard of

look this is going to raise controversy but whatvers.
In my humble opinion, i think their **** is pretty good. I wouldnt put crap on my $36k car (how bad i got shafted). They are the under dogs, thats for sure. But for petes sake.... they have a partnership with ****ing Recaro!!! How many companies can say that?? seriously, if they were a big lump o crap Recaro wouldnt touch them with a 50 foot pole.

Look people talk alot of **** about them, cuz its easier to be negative (human nature...well some)- i say, f*ck that ///... did you guys ever hear of Z speed??? that used to be Skunk2's name about 6 years ago... they were looked on as crap since they were a tawainese based company so they changed the name got an office in JP and now they are good stuff- whatever, they still make their stuff in TW. nothing wrong with that im just pointing out how everyone is confused and misguided.

Arospeed didnt change their name, they just busting their *** to make **** better.

I used to have a similar mentality but yo, i gave their **** a chance and fall inlove. The price is reasonable and the quality is awesome... **** im not tuning a M5 or a Gs430 so why shoudl i pay those kinds of prices? SO i can say, this is...X Y Z??? **** that propoganda.

Look, this is just my $.02, hate if u wanna hate but im proud to rock that ****.


oh yea, i forgot - thank you...drive through... want some soda with those facts?

Ok I'll chime in.

First off, nice looking car you have there. I can't say I'm a huge fan of body kits or even carbon fiber hoods as I am extremely picky but I appreciate when someone spends time to make their car look like they want it, and does a good job.

Couple things I noticed.

1.) In the "last?" picture you posted it looks as if the carbon fiber hood is just a bit long over the outermost corners of the headlights maybe even a bit out of shape there at the very start of the hood?. Is this me? In the other pictures it seems to fit quite well with the EVO styling lines and matches up nicely fit wise but I am having a hard time telling.

2.) Another thing I noticed, your carbon fiber hood's centerline doesn't match up with the center of your bumper. That was throwing me off, maybe you were taking the pictures from an angle and I can't tell.

3.) I like the yellow on the bumper better than the yellow on the car. Just my opinion, but in the end, it all looks nice. Great job on the car, do you have details on your engine mods or any dyno runs? I would be interested. Good job,

mike *stepping in to the flame suit*
