I would HIGHLY not recommend not getting the carbon fiber one hood.


CF1 sponsors my car, and i have a long list of issues with them..... one being its a task in itself to get a hold of anyone down there.

Not worth it for weight saving purposes.

dam you're going to cover your hood with a carbon look alike sticker? you dont think people will notice its a sticker. PLEASE PLEASE for heavens sake. DO NOT COVER ANY PART OF YOUR CAR WITH A STICKER.
a clear bra is one thing, but a carbon fiber sticker is a NO NO NO ..
you have to leave your honda dayz behind you now...................

You just got to say no to rice. Just because the film is installed on expensive cars doesn't make it any better. That just tells me that there are rich posers as well as poor posers.

Actually I did visit that website. I dunno about you, but I wouldn't do business with any company that can't spell the name of my car. I own an Infiniti, not an Infinity. Oh, and for some reason I couldn't find any pics of any Gallardos, Modenas, Porsches or Lotuses with fake-o carbon fiber stickers on them.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate you input. I just find it funny that you can speak for "most or everybody". When did you poll "most or everybody" and could you clue us all in on the official results of that poll?

PS - I agree with you on two points, vodkarocket has a very nice sedan and you are an AZZ.

Oh yeah, don't forget the 'faux carbon fibre American Eagle rear window overlay' (avail. in red, white, and blue) while you're at it! Saw one on a Chev. Suburban t'day....SWEET! OMFG! I think I just pissed myself....laughing at the very thought of putting a "carbon fibre" vinyl stick-on on a G-frigg'n 35! jbx

Please get fake CF stickers for your hood. Don't forget your trunk while you are at it.

I'm sure it will work wonders for your G's resale value and the overall aestetics of the G. Also, I feel we need more ricey G35's in the world.

I get bored of looking at old ricey sentras and civics. What about some stickers for the top of your front window that say "Infinity" to more accurately state that you are different from the crowd? Do they have rear Altezza's for the G35? I hope so for your sake.

I am sure Nissan and Infiniti will love you for your aestetic mods. As will the people who will rip the cheesy stickers off your hood at the next underaged drinking party or ricer event you attend. Do us all a favor and sell your car and buy a 1993 Dodge Neon to truly reflect your personality and taste, you may find some support with the youger aged MOPAR crowd
