Arrow Vossen CV3 Matte Graphite Rims - 2009 Shelby GT500

Finally I have my set of the highly desired new CV3's in Matte Graphite finish and they are SICK!!!

The Vossens balanced perfect (no weight needed) on two rims out of the four.
20x9 fronts and 20x10.5 rears wrapped with Nitto Invos 245/30/ZR20's on front and 285/30/ZR20 rears
The front rims clear the Brembos with plenty of space too!

I realize your's is a show car probably with a fair amount of sponsorship -- beautiful car all around -- but can you share a bit more about the front fenders? The TruFiber ones, correct? Fiberglass or carbon fiber? Any weight savings involved, and how is the fit?
Are those vents functional as well?

Thanks!

Thanks guys!!!

Its a Show car but its also my DD too.


The fenders are completely real carbon fiber from TruFiber/TruCarbon. They are lighter then stock but not sure by how much.
The vents are functional IF you remove your plastic fenderwell liner or even just cut the same shaped hole so the air can flow through.

What I created was the look of stripped carbon fiber on the fenders by placing the fender stipes, "TruCarbon" logo and the "GT500" decals (had th GT500 ones made) on the fender before paint. Then painted and when dry removed the declas to reveal the carbon fiber underneath. Then clear coated with several layers and wet sanded inbetween so you can not feel any difference when you run your hand over the fender. People really trip out on it at shows lol.

You have more pictures of that? It's not obvious that's what was done by the pictures here, but sounds very cool.

Accuair speed controller coming soon too (ned more money lol).
