Exposed CF hood insert? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-10-2011, 11:53 AM

So far...the Ashen Gray Convertible ZL1 has seemed to be the most current ZL1 (in terms of aesthetics) so far.....

With that said...take a close look at this picture below (a crop of the original pics from GM)...

Am I the only one noticing the CF weave around the edges of the insert? Could it be exposed using the ZR1's resin for production??

Good Eye..

I thought I saw something that looked off… Good observation! That is very interesting. What does that mean – an unfinished CF hood option? Hmmmm… Well, that changes things.

Look at this picture. Looks like the Stripe would be vinyl over the CF... So a stripe delete leaves exposed CF weave? Note you can see the CF on the edges and inside the vents but not on the surface...

I think you're definitely on to something!!

are you saying it looks bad?

*radz28* · 10-10-2011, 01:19 PM

I think that'd be one of the coolest things! I would consider skipping the stripe package for an exposed CF extractor

djsnoflake · 10-10-2011, 01:20 PM

THAT is the Ashen Grey?

WOW, I think I am in love

Yes… what I was once sure of is again thrown into question.

It sure would be good to get some high resolution and detailed photos when we order since a production version won’t be released until after that date.

Looks much better with the raw CF!

OldJedi · 10-10-2011, 04:33 PM

I am going with stripe delete on my car. It will be interesting to see if the CF is exposed on all stripe delete cars. I would prefer to see the carbon fiber much more than a vinyl stripe.

2012ZL1 · 10-10-2011, 04:36 PM

Yes Yes Yes CF all the way!!!!!!!

IOMZL1 · 10-10-2011, 04:42 PM

I want to see the vents now!!!

This one has no vinyl over it as can be seen in the convertible sticky.

It does look that way, it would be nice if there is a CF stripe package to really copliment the hood insert.
