Default Carbon fibre parts



I'm wanting to change out the original roof spoiler blade on my 2007 hawkeye STI. the blade is quite faded looking compared to all the other plastics on my car despite using Gtechniq plastic restorer etc.


I like the idea of a carbon fibre blade to replace this but am unsure of the kits that are about.


I'm not sure how it is mounted but i'd like to keep the original body colour side mounts as I don't want it to look too out of place (oem+ look if possible)
do the kits just replace the blade or am I better off just getting it wrapped?


lastly does anyone have any experience of the apr rear diffuser? fitment, look, quality etc?
Picture of the car above.


Thanks!

There are a few good wraps about now, so what about getting the blade wrapped in Carbon?

i'd prefer to have the real thing where possible but yes that's something I had considered if it's not something I can get without it looking messy

All of the aftermarket roof spoilers are different to the OEM unit. They will mount differently and I don't think you'll find a spoiler that will allow you to retain your end plates. I've seen cheap units sag over time too so I think your best option is to referb the OEM spoiler to be honest.

Send me some pics and we may be able to make you a replacement in Carbon Fibre.

Thanks for the replies, Brown pants I have found one made by Seibon that looks about right but i'm not sure on if it's a direct replacement. I've got a Seibon carbon fibre bonnet on my Track EK9 civic and the quality seems to be pretty good.

from the photos it does look like just the ticket but I will need to get a look at the mountings for it when i'm back home.


ZX-TT is this something you would be willing to do?


Thanks!
