Default Carbon Fiber with matte clear coat

Well, I can't really disclose too much but I'm checking to see the interest in carbon fiber products being offered in a matte clear finish, rather then the gloss finish. If you have no idea what I'm talking about here are some pictures of our 350z project. The matte clear gives it a dry carbon fiber look...









This would be done exclusively through our shop. Please let us know your opinions !

it looks really good can you take some pictures in direct sunlight so we can see what it will look like on those sunny occasions.

Thanks,

Mike

i think it'd only look good if fitment was closer to perfection and all the lines lined up better. if not it'd look cheap. fitment on those 350Z parts looks great but the fenders (front and rear) don't line up well with the door.

im not feeling it, its too flat, you should now add gloss ontop that, then my friend, it'll look sick IMHO.

Hmm I swear I saw that same car at the local meet here last week. Is it from AZ? It looked much better in person.

Thats the same one. Here's stationed over here in Socal, but was in AZ last weekend. Pictures can't do it justice.

It seems too much of a flat black, almost cheap looking, stick with CF.

I'll say it again, you put a gloss on that, and it'll look dope. People would think its just another charcol 350z, they walk up close and bam they see its carbon fiber!

I think it'll be tight IMO.
