I can't decide what to get, help me decide. I'll let the board choose which one I go with.

Full Carbon Fiber

Full blue and white carbon fiber.


Black and white carbon fiber.


Also if you guys got pics installed on the car post them.

If you decide on the Black/Silver carbon fiber (#3) let me know and I'll sell you mine for cheap. I'm going to put my original ones back on.

Its widely known here that if you want to save weight by using carbon fiber you should begin with the removal of ALL FLOOR MATS!

Tex, I like the black and white. Do you have anything else carbon fiber on your car? Get ready, cause I am sure once you start with the carbon fiber bug, it just keeps going... and going... and going

Part of the reason I go with carbon fiber roundels is to drop weight.


j/k

Yeah I think the last one looks the cleanest!

IMHO the Carbon Fiber are pretty classy. NO doubt about it. But I just can't go with anything but the original "Blue". I can spot it from far away and it is always such an identifying and familiar symbol. Perhaps old fashioned of me but I just prefer that original "blue". Good luck.

I went with Blue and White carbon fiber roundels, and it's a tad more subtle than going black and white. But I think it's such a small Mod in the first place, you really cannot go wrong! Good Luck with your decision!
