Carbon Fiber Exterior Upgrade Almost Complete!!!

I'm almost finished with my carbon fiber exterior upgrade. All I need now is a hood and a couple of other misc parts and I'll be all set!

The New Exterior Parts List:

APR Performance Carbon Fiber Front Air Dam
APR Performance Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser
APR Performance Carbon Fiber GTC-200 Adjustable Rear Wing

Very cool. I like that. Also like the splitters and support rods they sell.

...and BTW....I would have known that had I read the post instead of just looking at pictures.

great mods. I have the gtc-200 too. I was also thinking about getting the diffuser but I decided to go with my own custom one in the future

Looks like you just need the APR splitter to complement the air dam.

Thanks yeah the splitter is definitely high on my list also when I went to APR's Domestic Open house in June they told me there was going to be more Mustang Parts coming in the future.

Nice ride, very futuristic instead of the typical retro look.

You going for the GT-R look? Maybe you should get the vented front fenders at some point too:

I originally wanted to go with the APR Widebody but I had to deal with the cruel harsh reality that the widebody would not make it through the small door on my dinky one car garage LOL

You should check out the carbon fiber Radiator Cover and Front Splitter from Automotive Dezignz.

There was a guy on here before the crash who had that piece on a GT500 conversion, looked very nice. Said it took a bit of trimming to get to look just right, but integrated very well to the car.

I think I'm going to save up and do the splitter next. But like I said earlier APR said they have some more carbon fiber exterior pieces coming so I waiting to see what's next before making up my mind.

Definitely an expensive set of mods, but they sure do look nice. Hopefully will hold up well, I've seen some cheap carbon fiber that weathered very quickly from sun and moisture.

Well I had some APR C/F on my Celica back in my dark import days and it was parked on and off for over a year outside and never had any fading what so ever. Plus I hit a tire tread with Mustang dead center driving home about a month ago and it tore a hole in the urethane front lip I used to have and exited by way of my APR rear diffuser and there wasn't so much as a scratch on it so this stuff it tough. Here's a shot the old front lip to show the strength of the impact to give you an idea of the blow it stood up to:
