I guess if it was called a Honda Wrangler Type R Or Mazdaspeed Wrangler.

If you like CF pieces it is fine.. I just find it funny that people like the look of unfinished lightweight material.

I just think that the interior is a bit plain. Trying to think of different ways to personalize it. I think that in an overall vision the CF will work. My vision is Black 4 dr jk, black power coated factory rims, black light guards, black grill fence (got the idea here), black gas cap and probably replace the factory radio. So it would be part of a package of upgrades I have in mind.

Don't forget the Red LED that traverses back and forth across the grill. Night Rider FTW!!!

I have seen some nice setups using carbon fiber... they looked good and i could appreciate the work, but it just isnt my thing. I havent really seen it done much on Jeeps (or other offroaders for that matter) I am sure it's been done though.You generally tend to see it on Sprot bikes & rice rocket "fast & the furious" type cars. I think it looks nice on those venues, but i am having a hard time seeing it in a JK.

If you do it, please post up some pics, it would be interesting to see!

Nah, no red light or neon on my ride. :toung: I've seen a lot blacked out JK's on this forum and like the look. Sorry, no lift or 38" tires on my ride. Not much use here in Miami. Even thought that Jeep Beach event looks interesting but i think that a 4x4 Sahara will do the job. Mostly going to be a convertible to go down to the Sobe and enjoy the great weather we have most year round.

LOL@that.

i always wanted to see Micheal accidentally eject himself...

...into the bottom of his t-top.

Maybe McCormick could pick up the pieces & Hardcastle could sue the Knight foundation.

I wouldn't mind seeing carbon fiber used to make the side bolsters of the center console. Not just the applique stuff, but pull some of the easily scratched stuff out and replace it with cabon.
