Too much CF for my taste. I like the hatch cover though. But I swear when I can afford it I'm getting that CF hood!

I love the cluster cover in CF. How bad is the shine in the sunlight?

Agreed. It's awesome if you're into CF.

so... how did the butt dyno feel? what were the weight savings with all that carbon fiber?

i'm not hating man but that's too much carbon fiber. hey, it's your car. whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote.

unless it's a major part of the vehicle, carbon fiber is like stickers or neon lights on your car. what's the point?

I like the CF hood and rear hatch panel, but the rest is a bit much. CF is better off used for function rather than just decoration. The original silver interior trim was better imo because it offers a nice contrast.

Well... On the hood did alot of weight reduce. It only weights 2.8 KG. Which is about half weight of OEM hood.

"Carbon Fiber used for function rather than just decoration" I think doesn't exist. Unless you're just talking about losing curb weight.
