Horrendous...just horrendous. CF for a wing, sure; CF for a hood, maybe; anything else is stretching it. Just looks like all those beaters with the white fronts!

That's unpainted and just crap look. This is for design and detail, not just something unpainted. I think it would look good from faraway, like the car is silver with black highlights, then when someone gets closer, they are like damn, that's all in carbon fiber.

It would look good on a black lancer. For me, there is too much contrast between the silver and the black of the carbon. Black would look graet with it though. What would be extra tite would be a matt-black finish with as much carbon parts as you can find.

it actually looks nice. Except id probably go for some CF sideview mirrors. as for a wing id probably stick with stock or a wing from the 7 or 8 with cf center, only to keep with the theme of CF Accents. To have a CF trunk and then a full CF wing in my mind would actually be too much CF for the rear.

This is what i am thinking is the theme of your car from bottom to top the car is CF - Silver- CF - Silver

But putting on a Cf Wing would make it CF - Silver - CF- CF (Doesnt make sense to me)

I really hope this makes sense

What I might actually do is get the whole kit in carbon fiber then paint the top parts instead of getting cf molded on top of the fiberglass. A lot lighter.

How do you think the cf will hold up as a whole bumper and side skirts? Will it break easily if I rub or anything?

the only chance that has of working is on a black or thunder gray lancer... and its just a CHANCE

main reason... it basically is just going to look like a primered kit from far away until you get about 4-5 feet away
