Yep, it's official. Your pen15 is exactly |............| much longer since you have a "faster" car. Honestly, you guys spend too much time talking **** about other people's cars.

And there you have it: the official nicoclub.com pen15 measurer (a.k.a. the meatgazer). It takes a special kinda guy to handle and measure other guys' packages.

What else is NICO for?? I can sit in my own house and talk about my car. I wanna see what the other guys are up to. I like some things and want to integrate into my plans; some things I can appreciate, but wouldnt dream of copying; and some things just plain scare me.

This car is a category 2 (assuming its real CF) and a category 3 if its fake.

Good find. Apparently, it is CF overlay. Not as cool (nor as expensive) as fully molded, but leaps and bounds better than the "CF print" stickers.

Wow... I used to think I wanted a lot of CF outside panels... but I think I am reconsidering. I don't like how the exterior of the doors and the roof are the only non CF parts on the exterior.

I really don't like the interior... CF should be an accent in my opinion, not everywhere like that. A few parts are pretty cool.... like the steering wheel and gauge bezels and the center console. But the whole dash... yuck.

Anyhow... pretty nicely done though. Thanks for posting that... cool to see.

Ive seen a pic where the guy uses CF overlay in his entire engine bay. I thought the looked pretty neat.

i remember seeing a carbon fiber place that did s13 doors for around $1000 (500 each) ill post the link if i find it again

ive been thinking of doing it... my hood is to unique/functional already to get a CF one... and the door panels are in the middle, so it wont interrupt any balance issues, along with saving a bunch of weight .... doors are pretty heavy, thats a great place to save weight

Yeah, but its also very dangerous. If you get hit from the side, that car is going straight through. CF may be strong, but it is brittle, and will not slow down a car at all. Thats probably why that guy didnt do his doors. Its just really unsafe on the street.

A guy in town has his evo pertty much wrapped in carbon fiber. I bet if he could get away with it he would wrap himself in it.

One little pebble and the thing would shatter.There are much better uses of money, like saving starving children in Ethiopia.

that entire car is a ****ing pile.

and yes they sell real carbon fiber adhesive backed film (not the black/silver checkerboard stuff, real carbon) that gives the 3d look if your into that. its not very expensive. he amply applied that to what looks like the entire interior. old news anyway.

^^at least that car is built.
