The problem, Josh, is that the Protege is a MUCH different product than the RX-8. The RX-8 was made much better and with better quality materials than the Protege. I've yet to come up with a way to add CF trim to my car without it totally looking RICE, and keep it subtle and tasteful, something you've done with your RX-8 in spades...

Kudakev, that looks great!

Flyin, you really think so? I loved the subtle look of CF in my P5. Then again, I understand some people either love or hate CF. Personally I'm just not a fan of faux materials.

Circuit, Use a little heat to tighten the top corners of the wrap were it bubbles out. That should fix it.

I know. They wanted it to settle a bit and then fix all the corners. I don't like the DGM pieces because they just stick on, and there have been tons of complaints about fitment quality.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that real CF is MUCH better than faux materials. I am a self-professed CF ***** - I love the stuff. I'm currently experimenting on how I can incorporate it into my MSP without it coming across as RICE or tacky. I think yours looked great, but I don't want slabs of CF all over the place, but rather use it as an accent - much as you have on your RX-8 (LOVE the dash lining and the CF next to the seats).

I have some ideas and will be trying them out over the next few months. I need it to warm up a little bit before I can start making my own CF trim...

They have meetings for people like you. They say the first step is accepting it.

As I liked to say when i was in college, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a professional drinker. Alcoholics go to meetings...

Same applies for my love of all things carbon fiber...

yeah D and H is good like that, they'll take care of you chris. if i was going to get custom cf pieces made they'd be replacing metal and not plastic.

Thx bro. I hear ya on that being subtle with the CF. There are those complete 20+ piece kits out there and to me that's way too much CF and looks tacky. Even though my few pieces in the 8 are stick on, you would not know it unless you looked really close. It's not the cheap bendable stuff.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

There is no such thing as too much cf!!

Now you can't tell me that looks tacky.


(eek2)

there was an RX8 at MWMF that had carbon everything. fenders, bumpers, hood... idk, it just looked stupid IMO.
