Default Carbon Fiber Style Hood Vents and more!!

We're going to be offering carbon fiber style body parts for all late model mustangs including the 07-09 and 2010 GT500.

We just got our first sample back and wanted you guys to see how they look. These parts are all OEM so the fit is perfect. They're coated with a carbon fiber style paint/wrap and the finish on them is very nice.

Here's a pic of our hood vent, radiator shroud and fuse box cover. We chose the standard carbon for the hood and a custom blue carbon for the radiator shroud. The only issue with the custom colors is that there's no guarantee that the color will be an exact match to your car so I believe we're only going to be offering them in the standard carbon color. I personally like the look of the standard carbon and will most likely get our radiator shroud and fuse box cover redone in the standard color.








We're working on putting all of the products up on the site and should have pricing finalized shortly.

Let us know what you think. I know it's not for all but I'm sure there's a bunch of you that would like the new look.

Looks like "plaid" to me. Then again I have custom covered stuff in real carbon fibers. So I don't know how convincing this really is.

Can you guys do a film that's a copy of the silver dash board? I want to do the center console in this... I KNOW that uses the same type of process but the problem is that it's a metallic which I'm not sure you're capable of.

Default Nice !

thanks for posting the pic - those look great - I assume that your shop used the factory pieces and painted them, right?
