Default Carbon Fiber Source?

Hey guys,

I have a bit of a dilemma here....

I am installing the GT500 front and rear bumper on my BLACK GT vert and was thinking it would look cool to do the front chin spoiler and the rear bumper piece around the exhaust tips (not sure the technical name?) in carbon fiber.

So, a few questions:

1. Does anyone know if someone sells these 2 pieces in carbon fiber already?

2. If nobody sells them already, can I get some carbon fiber and do it myself?

3. If yes to number 2, where can I get carbon fiber and how do I install it?

4. I was thinking of maybe getting carbon fiber mirrors as well, anyone have a source?

5. The BIG question...do you think the chin spoiler and rear bumper piece in carbon fiber would look good along with the mirrors? I am going to do the carbon fiber dash kit I think as well....so I was thinking this would tie the outside in with the inside....what do you think?

Thanks,

Nick

wish I could help you out, but no such luck. For what it's worth I think the combo would look pretty nice. Good luck w/ the parts search.

NBD,

I have a black GT coupe and i am doing the whole CF deal. I think it looks realllllly good with a black car. I have the gt500kr carbon fiber hood and i just installed the dash kit in CF. The dash kit is awesome. I bought the mirror covers in CF but they were defective and have to send them back. I definitely want the chin spoiler and back piece that would look sick, i want some1 to tell us where to get it!

Where did you get the carbon fiber inserts for the mirrors? I tried to look for them, but couldn't find them.

Thanks,

Nick

you can always get a shop to wrap the part in cf
might be costly though :/
