Seibon CF Wing

I have a black base GSR - small wing, I was looking to upgrade to the large wing or the do-luck duckbill trunk

I was just wondering with the Seibon CF wing, would that look bad since it would be the only CF part of my car? or does it blend well enough with the black evo? i just haven't seen any pics of it on the black evo to tell..

thank you

Carbon fiber would blend pretty well with a black car. The only way you'd really see the difference is very close up.

A black car, and maybe gray, are the only cars that should have carbon fiber. Any other combo makes it look like the car owner was too ghetto cheap to paint a piece of the car the same color as the rest.

Do the holes of the base GSR match up with Seibon wing, or do you have to drill new ones?

Thought I read somewhere that the bolts are spaced differently on the GTS and MR/SSS wings.

About a pound or two, maybe three.

The factory MR/SSS wing is 13.4lbs and the Seibon wing is approximately 12lbs (according to a random ebay auction). Sounds about right since switching to a Seibon trunk saves around 13lbs, and only 6lbs when switching to the CF hood (LINK).
