CF or Painted Splitters on a SG?

evoi19 · 05-07-2007, 01:11 AM

Hey everyone,

I have a decision that maybe you can help. So I have a little scuff mark on my front corner bumper and want to cover it up for now with a pair of splitters.

My question to you is, and I can't decide either, should I go for the painted splitter or CF one? I'm really on the fence with either one. What do you guys think?

either wil look great...i think i might sell my painted black sapphire ones and get CF instead...

If you have other CF accents, go with CF if not, get painted.

Hey mike, does Brad make CF ones? I know he makes fiberglass stuff... just wondering if he makes CF

evoi19 · 05-07-2007, 01:59 AM

Well i was eventually planning on getting the mtech rear with the CF diffuser....i think that will go nicely. I just don't want too much CF on it.

^^Id get the CF splitters then. Yes, Brad makes the CF splitters as well.

Get the CF splitter. The piece will be thinner and will compliment your CF diffuser. You can always paint it also if you change your mind later.

too much cf can be a really really bad thing

if you plan to get some more cf products, then yes cf splitters,
otherwise, get painted one...
