Are any Camaro owners running.....

No matter what model you own are you running?...

An all Carbon Hood?

Carbon fiber rear spoiler?

Have you done anything with stripes on the roof or trunk? Or even run an all carbon fiber hood painted or not?


If so can you guys please post pictures here? It would be greatly appreciated. Not looking to copy anybody just after some inspiration.

I am in the market for a carbon fiber rear spoiler. Looking at the Seibon and the Maverick Man. MM is the best price. Would love a CF Anvil but I beleive they are backordered until 2020

I have a all carbon fiber hood and trunk lid that I run year round! Went with VIS for the hood and Seibon for the trunk lid.

You need to read about the poor fellow on here with one of those vented CF hoods that hydrolocked his engine when he drove in heavy rains through standing water.

There was mention of water getting sucked in from the hood area.

Silly question but must ask....would running those parts bring a sick amount of attention to your cars?

I just feel that the stock spoiler is too small, and want something with a bit more kick to it. Also with rally yellow, IMO,you need to break it up with some black

I'm having a black spoiler made with an adjustable carbon fiber wicker bill.

I believe you are referring to my thread on my car, click on the link in my signature. hood had nothing to do with it. or you might be referring to the guy who had his aftermarmet airfter right by one of those holes.

Those hoods all have rain trays in them to divert the water.

"Sick amount of attention"?........ not sure how to understand that? people loved the hood on the car, but they liked the whole car as a package I did, no attention only for the hood.

Build the car you want, not one you think will or will not draw attention, its the only way you will be happy with it.

I just meant I have a feeling a carbon fiber hood with that giant ZL1 insert might be putting the top front end in to overkill.

Do any of you have pictures of any of your cars with CF hoods? I've seen then before but never when I was considering buying one.
