    unpainted lower idea

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    hey guys i was real bored and was doing some thinking, im a fan of cf and hate my unpainted lowers.... i dont know how tacky it could look but its just an idea, i was thinking of buying some cf fabric and taking off all of my lowers and wrapping them in the fabric, if someone could mayb photoshop the idea for me that would be great!! i have a 02 dolphin grey, i know theres a possibility of a b.a diy or mayb a real tacky look.. and im sure it would only look good on a few colors and the dg being one of them since the color is a nice compliment to carbon fiber
    if any of you want to chime in or if u know any1 that has taking this task on lemme kno
    i think it might be a b.a alternative to getttin the lowers painted at a cheaper cost

    Re: unpainted lower idea

    why photoshop it? theyre black right? from far away like 10 feet back they will look black anyways, as CF.. so just ask yourself if you like it the way it looks now from 5-10 feet back and then do it or dont wrap them.

    Re: unpainted lower idea

    dont do it!!!!! theres only 2 things on the exterior of my car I would personally CF myself. #1 would be trunk trim and 2 would be a front splitter. a 3rd may be a boser hood, but would be partially painted, maybe even all painted. I have a dolphin myself.

    Re: unpainted lower idea

    are you just wanting something other than unpainted lowers? it would be less work to just paint the lowers yourself.

    Re: unpainted lower idea

    alright guys no go on the cf wrap... haha, i rlly want to get the lowers painted to match the car but 1. i dont want to rattle can them and 2. gettin them painted is just too expensive for having such a small amount painted, i might see if i can get my uncle at our dealership to get me a good deal with our painter that comes in and does jobs for us, i havent thought about that option
    what have you guys paid to get yours done?
