There's 2 company's that do Vorsteiner and Arkym

Would that be like 2 or 3 times more expensive though? Are they making you a whole entire roof replacement?

The hydrocarbon looks too fake

This is the best hydro carbon pattern out there...about as real as it gets. It looks better in person too.

It still does not have that 3 dimensional look real CF does. That just looks like a bunch of little squares imo. If I am going to go fake CF I will just use the 3M Di Noc CF vinyl. I think it looks the most realistic.

CF High Deck Spoiler, you know, the one GM has held onto for the last 2 years.

CF gauge cluster shroud, for both dash and console gauges
CF e-break lever and shifter ball
CF steering wheel trim (replacing silver plastic)
CF dual gauge pod that mounts over the center speaker on the dash (BA system)
CF center dash stripe
CF Door plates w/ABL

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Wet Carbon Fiber and hydro-dipped don't look the same. If you have real carbon fiber, you won't want hydro dipped things. It will clash.

If you have no real carbon fiber, than hydro dip is great.

Trnsfmr · 01-31-2011, 12:26 PM

Fair enough.

There's a new Di-Noc 2.0 and Hexis 2.0 (vs the original products) one of which you can wrap a whole car..Ask Linkwpc for more info...

CF inside rear deck lid.
CF center console.

1. Real carbon fiber costs more than hydrocarbon and looks better than hydrocarbon.
2. That body kit is way way way overpriced... I do not know what they are thinking.
3. You can get a real carbon fiber OEM GFX kit for $2300 from Seibon which looks way better.

pyr0b0y · 02-01-2011, 12:18 AM

love the look of the body kit, wish someone could make it for under $2k, would def get it then.....its hennessey, wutd u expect?

Seibons is only $2300 and it is real CF

MaroSS · 02-01-2011, 12:29 AM

Seibon's back piece of the GFX looks a little weird IMHO ... if it can be made like the factory rear piece then it would be golden.
