GEN 2 Carbon fiber hood insert, side vents and flares?! Seems pricey to me

Man, that weave looks terrible on the hood heat extractor :snoopfacepalm:

What's wrong with the weave ? I think it's pretty tight

Seriously? You can't spot the crappy layout here? Looks hideous. I could understand that if you are making a CF part to be painted, but if you are going to leave the weave pattern visible and showing, then you need to make the placement look consistent and not all bunched up and switching directions, etc. This is just atrocious.

Maybe this is a better pic of them. I think it's uniform . Doesn't look any different than one on my buddies Bentley ?

The spot he pointed out in the pic makes sense.

Those look good to me in the pics you posted.

Cf is for weight savings and strength. Neither of those apply here. I agree it a waste of $$



I'm using them for looks alone.

You forget the link or something?

Assuming yours looks great, why would they not put their best piece in the ad? Seems pretty dumb to advertise something not representative of their real product- especially if their real product is better.
