cf hatch and cf hood on Red tsi Blacktop?

95DsmTsiauto · 08-31-2005, 02:45 PM

I figure since winter is coming in 2 months i better save my money i was going to do for appearance and wait because winter is just hard on nice exterior parts. My 19' konig Imagine opals will be taken off and the stock swirlies will be put back on. However. I have a black top on my car and I want to know your opinions of a black cf OEM hood and a cf hatch? I have not yet seen a carbon fiber hatch on a car my color but i think it would look sweet. I'm also trading my rims for 18' rims that match the cf. I don't know what they are but i hate 19's and one of mine needs to be welded. I don't have 10 grand lying around to buy a tig welder and no shop around here will weld rims because they say its illegal? I have searched for pictures of my car with cf top and i cannot find any. Any opinions? Will it look good or look hondaish? Thanks

im sure that would look sick on a talon...not an eclipse..### of the black top. maybe even paint the cf hatch from the bottom of the window and then all the way up (so say the stock paint scheme, but instead of red on the other half of the hatch, it would be cf). thats what i would do

I say go ahead and do it, I think it'll look badass..the black top with the CF hood and hatch with the black rims will look sick only because your car is red..
Found 2 pictures: A red Eclipse with a CF Hatch and a Talon with a CF Hood and black rims (Now only if someone could photoshop something to show the talon with both)..

I'm getting that hatch this winter. I'm amped! The weight its going to save is going to be incredible!

isnt a lexan window needed for the cf hatch?? not a fan of the white dots that those windows have, but a great weight saver.

I don't know if I would want to trust that CF with our 2ton rear window... I'm sure you could put the factory glass back in
