RE: Paint job opinions

So I found these pics while searching...

They don't look so ad when done right, but I question their durability. And cost is also a factor.

RE: Paint job opinions

Yea, my thing is I dont think you could tell they are carbon fiber unless you are right up on them. Also from what I heard they are not that reliable, but I guess the technology will get better over time.

So how much off should I get for not painting my hood. Would you say it is about 1/4 of the car? I figure I wont paint it since I am gonna swap out hoods.

Thx
