I just got car accident, and I need to replace the hood and the fender....

Is that a good idea if I buy the carbon fiber fender? or keep it stock?
for the hood I will still use the carbonfiber hood...?

Please give me your opinion... thanks
Or any of you have the car picture with the cf fender

my car


carbonfiber fender

 

If the fitment is good and the price is right, why not? From what I hear, they cost a grip and how much weight are you really saving?

 

in my opinion if you get carbon fiber fenders you gota paint but it's your car do as ya please

 

Oh, no, do you have to replace your front bumper too?!! What a shame!

 

It's up to you,the weight savings are not even worth thinkin' about so it's really an appearance issue. Basically,your paying for the "oooh,he's got carbon fiber fenders" & that's about it.

 

i had fenders for my EK i sold dem i mean it makes ur car a lil bit light those shyts weigh like nothing and it look great..and from the appearence of ur car u look like u lookin for looks...i say get the fenders

 

u dont have 2 paint the fenders who paints their carbon fiber lol unless i read dat post wrong

 

IMO no. the stock ones are light already. why spend money on somethin not worth buyin?

 

I would leave everything. Get two new stock fenders and a nice looking new bumbper and paint the car a nice silver to go with that hood of yours. Id say CB fenders is a little over doing it.

 

my front end used 2 be carbon fiber hood,carbon fiber fenders,and carbon fiber front lip..now its just the hood and lip i have...but yea man get the fenders looks great

 

I agree with you...

weight saving are not the issue...

It's about an appearance issue...

Will it looks good though?

 

where can you buy those CF fenders?

I would say go with the CF fenders if you want that bling factor but if not then just get some OEM fenders.

 

its up to you if you have th money and you ant them then get carbon fenders but if you want to buy other things then get oem fenders and buy other things either way is a good choice

 

I agree with you...
weight saving are not the issue...

Really ? i thought the secret to my 13.1 run was cause of my c/f hood c/f lip and c/f fenders..but then again i sold my fenders and got a 13.0 lololol....hey man i change my mind unless u want that awww man look den get the fenders if not keep it stock

 

stock is always good

 

Might as well get an oem bumper while your at it too

why not get some fiberglass fenders.

 

Keep it stock doesnt look right. CF hood and lips flow, but that just breaks up the colors too much.

 

Would be nice to have a pair of both. Looks to me that the CF fenders fits pretty good. Might wanna try something different

 

did anyone notice that hybridek97 posted 5 out of the 14 times just to say "get them". ok well in any event the fitament looks good and if you like them, might as well. that and if you can get a deal on them to make them worth while

 

i have them on my civic, it looks nice. they are very light. if u have the extra money to spend, then why not get them?

Ricegurl.

 

My friend shawn has them on his eg he has teh cf hood, cf fenders, and cf lip. I think ti looks good. But they are expensive to get good ones. If you got the money, do it. It loosk good IMO. THe weight thing isnt a difference. You could take a **** and lose the same amount of weight.

 

I have some, not installed but I hav em.

They sav maybe 2-3 lbs. Not worth it IMO

 

the stock fenders are light so they dont need to be replaced from a weight standpoint. as far as looks, i think cf fenders look like *** and you will end up painting them anyway, the weave will most likley not be perfect and they will stick out like a sore thumb... at which time you will realize you wasted $600. if you could take 20lbs off it would be a different story but its got to only be 5lbs total savings, imho
