1st in class@the 47th annual carl casper custom auto show
If you are spending 10 grand on rear CF quarter panels, you better spent that money on some sick CF wheels before yuo even touch the rest of yuor car. Without wheels the car will look bad.

Been interested in your car since the start... however, seems like you've hit a rut. You need to hurry up and finish the CF. They make CF bumpers, sides with CF inlays, CF grills, roof overlays, etc... need to hurry up and get all that done... then it'llbe sweet. The hardest part will be the rear fenders... but in it's current state- I'm not a huge fan of how it looks... but has a lot of potential!

i dont understand why everyone hates the 19in oems..just because they arent staggard doesnt mean there ****ty wheels,imo i think they look good..for now they will do..i want to be sure the wheels i do get are the ones that will not only suit the car,but look good as well,im leaning tword 20in GM axis pentas..theyre in budget and look good.

As for the OEM 19's? I love them, but I hate to see them painted. Esp when a car has OEM wheels,entering into a car show
GL on your build though

OP the only thing I would recommend would be the painting of the CF sides and doors (the doors are sick by the way).
as for the cf the rear qurters are a much larger project than anyone can imagine..there arent avail. anywhere and have to be made..its very expensive(5k per side) i dont plan on doing this until next yr ..plans are for the 1st full cf g,thus the reason im not painting the doors or fenders

the cf on my car isnt real?..i dont know what leads you to say that,of course it is. i installed ever part on it myself..and as for the rear qurters it def. is an option to wrap and i will most likely lean that way unless i find a much better deal on rear quarters

Come on bro! Your weiling to spend 5k for some CF rear quarter panels. But only want to spend 1k on some Axis wheels? Like i said before, you need some direction on your build.

It is just a fiberglass piece coated in a layer of CF. The CF has almost no contribution to the structural integrity of the part, its just for looks, hence it isn't a "real" CF part. The CF is just for looks anyways, so its not different than wrapping your quarterpanels in CF, its just for looks
