A6Quattro4.2Sport, dude you wasted your money in Audi. For your taste, you could have done better with Hyundai Accent. Why are you going to places where Germans didn't bothered to go?

Audi is about Class, and Performance. Not, cheap looks and neon lights.

Shalom!

Why would I want a lighter car???????? Why do you all think I want to lighten the car???? It is for LOOKS, do you understand LOOKS....

Call me a traditionalist, but I feel that carbon fibre is a material designed to achieve a certain strength whilst saving weight, not for aesthetics. My other road car has a whole heap of carbon parts as standard (but painted and not obviously carbon), and my race car is built from carbon, but I would never consider getting carbon body panels for an Audi. In my opinion, it would make it look like a cheap ricer. The only worse things would be to put big chrome wheels on it and lower the suspension.


"Only thing worse is putting big chrome wheels on it"......NOT TRUE, 19" Chrome looks good on a A6, for some people (like myself), just putting rims on a car is enough and not interested in modding there car.

I am ashamed to admit this, but I once owned an '02 Sentra spec V. After an accident in which my front end was destroyed, I deceded to put a CF hood on the car. It was from VIS racing, and the fit was horrible. Once on my black car, I was totally embarrassed to be seen in this thing. People thought my hood was not latched due to the gaps in the fit.

Now that I've grown up a bit, I would never ever do that to another car. I am doubtful I'd even chip my 2.7T at this point. Sure it sounds fun, but $800 for a potential mistake is too big a gamble.

Good luck if you choose to do this, but from my experience, I would never do it again. If I were forced to put a CF hood on my car, I'd paint it to match the car.

It all comes down to personal opinion. I don't like any non-factory mods, and really don't like chrome wheels. I've owned around 70 cars and of these, the few modified ones were by far the most thrashed and unreliable of the lot.
