Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Carbon fiber front fenders... Opinions...

I have seen that there are now carbon fiber fenders available for the 7th gen Celica. I was going to purchase some but, I cannot deceide wether or not they would look good... Please take a moment and let me know what you think..

Thanks...

any pics dude?

Here is what I found...

Small...

C-wings

<---- wants them eventually

i dunno i wouldnt like it...its gonna be wack..its hard to explain but like too many colors...its not gonna flow..ur cars gonna be blue then bleack where the fenders are..

i think it will look funny unless its on a black car IMO..

ya different colors kinda looks like you smashed the fenders and couldn't afford the right color. like you see on shitty cars.

Sam, don't do it. That's way too much carbon fiber. It is overkill, IMO. Pretty soon your car is gonna look like the Honda Element.

i will still look funny on black cars...ive seen a BMW with Carbon Fiber fenders...and they just dont match...

You can paint carbon fiber right. So you could still take advantage of the weight savings.

I think they look alright if you DON'T have a carbon fiber hood.. but since you do, it will definitely be overkill. I wouldn't if I was you.

It's not that big of a difference. Stock fenders weigh hardly anything.

thats ugly as anything

but if your car is all out race you can buy them and paint it, good weight reduction though

Sam
I agree with others on this one, blow off the C/F fenders. The Veilside fenders with the outer portion of your Invader hood painted would look awesome.

BTW, if you go with different fenders, I'll buy your takeoffs.


Veilside fenders sort of look like the TRD Supra fenders; Simple but interesting.

Painting the hood like this visually integrates the two dissimilar materials.

Thanks guys... That is what I was thinking too... They are neat but, I don't think it will look right.. Thanks for your help...

ditto. follow the original texture of the rest of your car body.

check the rx-7 in the april 2nr mag. its got a carbon fiber kit. but then again, it is an rx-7. but you never know, it might work

imo, for carbon fiber pieces to flow (except spoilers yada yada..) you have to get the whole exterior done in carbon fiber (think ferrari, lamborghini, some porsches..also think very high price tag).

but carbon fiber is a good performance mod. strong & lightweight so you would get weightsavings. and then half the fun would just be telling everyone who knows what carbon fiber is that you have carbon fiber fenders
