Carbonfiber..Enjoy the weight savings...not the Rice...paint it all.

Common.... It's Rob. He would lay the CF himself

I love the look of carbon fiber especially half painted and when u can see it through the paint is sick too. Forget what its called

one of the coolest VW that is down this way has a two tone paint job and the carbon fiber hood has an area that he left a decal on while painting the car and then pealed it off for the clear its the CustomObsessions logo very small maybe an inch and a half tall lettering that shows in carbon so you know its there yet with out the rice factor that carbon on a vw adds
As for the debate on the wing my vote is yes and that paint on top and carbon underside would be killer! Really cool on a panda

A red panda?

It's a good solution to fading clear coat. But I wouldn't do it until it needed it.

Leaving something in the carbon fiber looks sweet forsure. This is what Evolution did on the doors of the spyder. And they semi painted the hood and front bumper. That spoiler will look dirty semi painted

There's a guy on BC DSM who has a blue gsx. He painted his carbon hood to match the car, and left this "strip" I keep talking about. It looks really clean, tasteful, and I think it would really work on my car if i did the whole thing red

For the life of me I can't dig up pics of it to show what I'm talking about

Forsure would look sick with that strip ur talking of, with nice dark tint on the windshield. Whistle whistlllle

Rob, maybe I can Photoshop a quick picture to give you a visual idea? It would just need to be the right angle (probably top-down) to get it right.

On a side note. Anyone want to help me go get it next weekend? Having a real hard time finding something that will 100% fit the thing and not cost me a left nut in gas

And mike, hold off on the photo shop thing, I want to draw something up in paint to guide u

I would be down if I wasn't opposite direction lol

I think I know what you mean. But yeah do something up in Paint and I'll mock it up in PS if you'd like.

I'm heading to belleville in two weeks.

MTL is only 2hrs from me but when I was talking with the seller, he had me google map an address that 3.5 hrs away from me if I wanted it for the price we discussed.

SOOO...with that being said, If there's a way you can get that hatch to me in Ottawa, it will most definitely fit in the MDX on an angle and ofcourse wrapping it with blankets and such to preserve it..I could potentially bring it to you in 2 weeks. BUT!!!! no gaurantee it'll make it to YOU!!

How does that help me get it here again? some one from the gta would be more convenient

I'd obviously go the extra 1 or 1.5 hrs in to meet you silly!

I'm pretty close to him, I can store it safely

I could hold it and meet up with you if it gets dropped off in the GTA... And finally pickup/pay for my buddies intake pipe.

I already pictured that in my head too. By the cowl, there's a flat spot that is a perfect place to play peek a boo with the cf.

Its paid for, if you could, Id appreciate it.

I'll come get it when I have a proper ride, and time!! Brightside is in the middle of a move right now.....im stressing !

Back on topic, How about carbon hood, black top, carbon hatch and red spoiler with masked bottom?

Ew... not a fan!

It looks good, but you'd have to some how replicate or do something similar to the hood.

Isn't Rob painting the hood but leaving a small part of the hood that's in front of the cowl in carbon fiber?

Johnny, I love you man, but you gotta stop giving me advice on aesthetics bro

It's just the fact that everything seems "disconnected" like that. Nothing flows properly anymore...

I'm a huge fan of your car Rob, but this will kill it to me. Keep the hatch red!

Lol. You ask so I give an opinion . no idea what I would do..... Maybe leave the edges of the hood untainted? About 1/2" on each side? Frack. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm exhausted.....

This idea was the one I wanted to do to keep the entire top half black. A carbon spoiler on a carbon hatch just wont work.

I like my carbon spoiler

I like my carbon hatch

I like my carbon hood

All together its all too much.

To keep the carbon hood carbon, and carbon hatch carbon, the top needs to stay black too

This leaves me with this idea of the red topped carbon spoiler on the hatch

Otherwise, your right

Entirely red car, with a strip of carbon on the hood, and the underside of the spoiler in carbon........and possibly some thing else left carbon on the hatch.....like mitsu and gsx lettering in the OEM locations

Plenty of simple lines you could create to flow with the body from the front to the rear. I really like the idea of the spoiler painted on top, but by it self, it might look like it was just pooped out and left there...

Id take you up on your evo trade offer in a second. Careful what you wish for

Lol, that's a discussion for another day... outside of your build thread .

Still miss driving my 2g, even after owning the Evo for a couple months. It's that damn DSM bug.

Someone needs to find a cure, quick

I thought the newer Evos would work. But apperantly not!

Haha, I know, this is terrible news. Were all screwed.

Back on topic, spoiler idea looks sick

Lol

The hatch is now in possession by a dsmer I trust and look to for inspiration. Thanks for taking care of it while I get my sh!t together Jason I'll make it up to you proper some day

Tomorrow morning in the "Post Pictures of Your Cars Thread":

Jason Drew posts pictures of his car with new carbon hatch.

Fat Tony would have to make a visit to stansted

Frontline catch can finished.
