Need some opinions, CF content Options

[playr158]

ok well i filled in my license plate as seen here

(please note the car is now a frame, no kit no exhaust)

but when i do get the car back it will still be a black car and potentially have a CF TRD wing...but my question is instead of my filled LP being just painted wat if it was wrapped in CF....too much? or on the fence? clean? any opinions or thoughts i'm open to..i'm on the fence for this one

[Culpable04]

I don't really like that, looks like the camry 1993-1994. looks better from pfactory IMO , but I have done things to my car that may not like to some people, so don't take my word if you're happy that's all it matters.

I think it might be a bit much...I think the wing will be plenty, and if you add the carbon fiber around the license plate part it may just look funny. Then again, you COULD go with a carbon fiber hatch, and then also carbon fiber that small area and i think it would look good, i guess im just not feeling the wing idea i guess.

do it

I wanted the stock license surround wrapped in CF. always have.

[MaskedMan]

oo i like how it is

[purplegt4]

i think you need a way to hide that hideous light above the license plate.

[CelicaST202]

why do you have dual mufflers?

[snapshotgt]

I would vote to go back to the stock LP holder, and maybe wrap it is CF -- or no CF...i dunno...can you try a few diff ways?

read the thread b4 you post....the car is a BARE FRAME now...aka 0 body pieces 0 motor

i had dual because i liked it

but the wing isn't really set on i'm truely a spoilerless type...so it might be 100% shaved with the CF lp and there is no more stock license plate its relocated on my new setup when that comes out...so the fill is a necessity..but keep the opinions rollin in

if you're going as far as you are I woulod talk to Romas and get him to make you a duckbill and mold it on your hatch THEN wrap it all in CF. as fr as the lil tail panel is concerned, I was thinking the same thing...if the hatch is CF then that thing could be too...that or get a stock one and do the filler cap mod and make a small CF panel for where the LP would go and paint the rest....very racey and subtle

i already worked on a duck spoiler...wasn't really sure about it yet so i took it back off....but i might go that way thanks for the thought

i think if you left the stock plate holder, cf would look nice there
but the way you have it now it looks better if you just leave it

if you leave it spoiler-less wrap the hatch in cf
if you put a cf wing leave everything else back there alone
too much cf in one area would look overdone...IMO of course

depending on my abilities to get in CF the hatch will defenitly be wrapped if not i will try my best to purchase one from VIS (probably the option i will go for)

so spoilerless, CF hatch, and CF plate would flow well?

sounds good to me

[b1gr3d]

CF behind the lil filler door.....IMO i would look killer...and if you're not gonna do it, I will lol

[playr158]

nah i'm not doing that my gas filler will stay as is or it will be inside the hatch...cough fuel cell cough

[brianforster]

isnt the whole point of carbon fiber weight reduction? if you are wrapping stock pieces in carbon fiber doesnt that make you... a ricer?

damn and who woulda thought the vertical doors and dual exhaust wouldnt' have?!
it was the cf peices that cost as much as your car that did me in

CF hatch is about 1/2 the weight of the OEM hatch as well as the hood is 1/4-1/2 the weight of a stock hood....
