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

NO. CF is also for looks.

C'mon. You can't tell me that CF cosmetic parts, which are used in a wide range of production vehicles, is primarily for weight savings and strength.

Except for factory roofs, most CF options and add-ons are primarily for LOOKS.

I agree with what other guy said without pics. Quality and exact replacement

There's only one thing wrong with that carbon fiber hood insert that I can see, if you zoom in and look closely you can see that it would look better on my magnetic Raptor


If you're going for that look, I think it looks pretty cool..

Quick first impressions - the kit is awesome! I personally took a long time to install everything, because I was very paranoid about scratching anything during the removal of the old flares and the installation of the new flares. As mentioned before, I am very particular, but the process was very straightforward. The end result is spectacular, though. The carbon looks amazing in contrast to the lightning blue paint. Fitment is on par with OEM as well. No panel gaps at all. Extra width on the flares really adds to the appearance as well. Money well spent, if you ask me. No regrets.

Did you have to remove the fenders to get the heat extractors off, or do they just pop off?

I only did hood and side vents as I have other plans for flares, not sure on install as my mechanic picked it up and took it with him, he said exact to a tee fitting and brackets .
The only thing I wish is they side vents came with slits or air pockets like the factory ones but all in all happy with the looks..

Im having them make me some CF tailgate, side bed rails as well as pillar posts to match it all up

Haha. I will say there is a huge weight difference with these! But the last thing on my mind was saving weight , it was for looks only.. if it gets me to the lake house on weekends and stays still sitting in garage periodically it's the best raptor in the country.. and funny thing is I ran off driveway for the first time ever in this bitch as I couldn't see the driveway but take a look at zig zag I'm dealing with getting to house. This is start of driveway

Am I understanding correctly that the CF side vents are not functional (i.e. no actual vents)?

Maybe it's just the angle, but it also looks like it isn't quite sitting flush and I can see the mounting slots on the right side. I don't think I can see those with my OEM ones on.
