What do we think of this?

CF Overlay on the boot:

flinchy · 12-17-2011, 02:41 AM

just around the license plate area? would need the cf diffuser to flow through, would look out of place and ricey otherwise.

Harlequin · 12-17-2011, 02:42 AM

Yeah... just around the plate.

I have the CF Diffuser and Spoiler already...

There's actually 2 finishes available:

Not really a fan of CF overlay of any type... I dont want to make something look like something it isn't.

Kind of like owning a fake watch or handbag (for the ladies)

MrBlonde · 12-17-2011, 03:28 AM

Tacky.

Harlequin · 12-17-2011, 03:52 AM

Yeah.. I was sort of on the fence.... Don't think it will match up very well with the real CF bits...

Only reason I was looking at it is because that part of the car gets really dirty really quickly... guess I'll just have to wash it more

If you drove a Lancer maybe, otherwise

IMO CF overlay is always just that, fake. ...CF only really works on grey/black/white cars

and half the time just going for a full CF product barely costs more than the fake overlay stuff.

I don't think that would be the case here though... CF Boot is about 10X what this piece of vinyl costs...

Would be 10X better though...

well considering a cf bonnet is... well $500-$600 USD usually mass produced...

boot shouldn't be much more than that? enough CF wrap (actual CF not cf-patterned vinyl which makes you about 4000 different types of douchebag) isn't cheap.

Not a fan of exposing CF on boots./bonnets whatever... Especially when it's a fakey!

RaihaX · 12-19-2011, 12:05 AM

not a fan as well sorry mate

Taymaishu · 12-19-2011, 02:19 AM

I'm not a fan at all.

Having said that, if you like it and it'll make you happy, then go for it! Remember if you like, that's all that counts!

Sorry not a fan. Feels like modding just for the sake of it.
