I can see them getting a bit of business through this thread . I have to note though, I don't have a vxr - just wanting a 3" exhaust and prefer it to look balanced, ie not hanging off one side. -shrugs-

Few good ideas so far . Definitely will have to do something to the chrome strip though for it to work... if black chrome looks as good as it sounds, considering that.

Seen it before on carbon and it looks amazing...There is a Black Golf near my house that has carbon everything and the strips are black chrome and matt black. It looks AWESOME!!!! But I do have a carbon fetish....

Haha. Does sound good... just a shame that it's the lightest panel on the car that's been remade in cf

Will go well with the black or anthracite team dynamic 1.2 wheels I've been planning forever too.

Nice....I have been looking for a carbon bonnet for my TS SRi-T for a while.

Seen a few from the UK, but when they want $700 to ship it I just can't justify it...Still want one though...

He had a standard black VXR... changed the rear diffuser to grey, then painted the rear chrome strip black

I wouldn't mind changing mine either, but for the cost/effort involved... don't think i will

Think the back'd have to go badgeless.. other then that quite like it. Gl with that gman

The carbon actually works really well on the black astras. Nice and subtle accent details.
Check out the 888 stealth editions (there's only 4 of them, but there should be pics around)
they've got carbon fibre mirror covers, carbon fibre v-grille and cf boot strip.
Will give you an idea of how it looks.

Agree, CF works well with black duco on any car type...

Can look a bit cheasy on lighter colours though...

Here's the front for anyone interested.. looks pretty decent on the nurbs imo.

I would def put on a nurb...White and Carbon....YUM!!!!!

If I was to re-spray my TS, it would either be Alpine White (BMW), Bayside (Nissan) or WRC (Subaru) Blue...
