Full Carbon fiber Ek civic. To be or not to be..?
I have 4.5k to spend on my ek. It really needs a paint job, but im thinking of fully carboning my ek hatch. Hood, doors, fenders, front bumper, rear bumper, hatch, and door panels. But I really dont know what it would turn out to be. I looked around on the net and it only have pictures of the parts that they are selling. Does anyone know of a site where I can see a full carbon fiber ek hatch. I really want to see before I spend alot of money.

yes. I know. I did my research on these parts. They are pricey and is going to take most of the money. But im sure I will have a problem having a paint and body shop sponser. Just having trouble finding a picture.

It would look really nice with all cf but imo I wouldn't... I would just get a decent paint job and if your car isn't fast at all I'd do a swap. Yes sirrrr... Now thats how i would spend my money if I had 4500...

what color is your car though? because finding pictures of a car would look totally different depending on color. I'll see if i find anything though

Re: (Malakai)
there are people to spend 3k to 4k on a paint job. Why not get something that would turn heads. If I can not even find pictures of a full carbon fiber ek hatch. How many of them can there be.

unless you are going to get a complete cf frame, then you should only get the hood and trunk/hatch.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Not only is that a huge waste of money, but your car will look dumb and it won't be safe.
