I'm just sayin....

I heard Work Wheels also made a set of CF wheels too. Not as large, but just as ginormously expensive.

so.... ahhh how would it look on my SSM?

As it happens, I saw a SSM GD3 Sport Tuesday with a CF hood and it looked decent up close. From a distance, though, it looked like a black primered hood...

I wonder about fuel savings with CF replacements. Oh, Shan! I've got an idea for you! <insert evil grin here>

Man, we need more smileys!

But then it would have to be a green part on a red car, or a red part on a green car.

Seems like EVERY car I see with used body parts stuck on it is either green or red with the opposite color replacement.

If everyone is trying to reduce the weight in the car, how many people have decided to lose weight on their own body?

Put me down for the cf belly, please. I'd like to replace the one I have with a smoother, more aerodynamic abdomen.
