I think the silver CF looks great on alpine silver not sure if it would look too good on mellinium silver.

okay please tell me all the details about this trunk...sorry i am kina pathetic...i am half chinese and japanese and i dont know how to read or speak either language lol

my main question...for the hood and trunk..

are these overlays? or actually made out of carbon fiber? how is the quality? looking at the website i am a little worried...

again i would pick up the CF trunk in a heartbeat! the only reason i didnt is because I will NOT give up my inner light!

it seems as though for pricing...$1180 for hood and $980 for trunk (silver carbon fiber)...but still as long as the fitment is stock...i would pick the hood and trunk in a heartbeat!

I'm starting to think its an overlay cuz if you look at the pics they actually have the front bumper and lower portion of the doors and also the rear bumper in this silver CF. But if you look closely not the whole bumper is CF just from the chrome strip down. Now I'm pretty sure its just an overlay. I think they are saying fits like stock cuz it is stock with the silver cf overlay.

I don't know anything about the manufacturing process of CF and am wondering if this not just regular CF painted a light tinted silver color?

I mean how is the manufacturing process changed for CF to give it this different color without painting?
