It would look good.. but all depends if you have anything else cf on your car. If your only gonna have a cf trunk then its not gonna flow with the car, if you plan on adding cf hood, roof overlay, etc etc then it will look flawless.

Search around. I have seen a couple of them. Some it looked good, some i didnt care for. I guess it depends on the color scheme you go with. Possibly the weave of the carbin fiber also.

You will want a CF hood to match it.

That car has no tint, doesn't look like it has black roof or cf hood(can't really tell though and the tail lights are not blacked out. All this would have helped the look, but the lack of tint is really killing it.

Keep in mind that you do own a g35, not a honda.

So, the new BMWs that come from the factory with carbon fiber roof tops, those should be compared to a honda? No offense dude but you drive a auto G with basic bolt ons.

Pretty sure the topic was for a picture of a DG with a CF trunk lid, not to hear your lame opinion on carbon fiber. Or how superior your G is to a "honda".

I just wanted him to think about it first before he spends the money, but hey, I would get pissed off too if someone was in the market for a product I sold and someone came on a forum and made a remark about it. As far as the bimmers go, I would say no, how many hondas do you see with a carbon fiber roof? Hood and trunk are a different story. Carbon fiber is great, if your going for weight reduction, maybe a painted carbon fiber trunk or hood on the G for weight reduction. To the OP, didn't want your thread to turn into this, sorry about that, but think it over a little bit, I have a DG coupe as well, and carbon fiber on my integra so I am not saying CF is bad.
