Just curious, have you seen the two side by side or seen the Carbon 8 in person? I know vrs has a big name and rep, but just curious as to what is wrong with the Carbon 8.

That rolling shot of the front driver side corner was my desktop at work for about the past 3 weeks. Awesome shot!

Gottcha. I just have thoughts of the M3 or VRS hood down the road and just wanted to know if you had found anything bad about the C8 stuff.

kyleb350 · 03-23-2009, 01:58 AM

X-treme graphics (Villa Park). I would not have the patience, much less the skill, to do this myself. Props to whoever is doing this at the DIY meet. Mine took about an hour to do.

Vudoo4u2 · 03-23-2009, 01:59 AM
