Carbon Fiber Hood/Trunk Q

Has any one seen or know where I can find a silver carbon fiber hood and trunk? Not the regular CF that is just painted over but actual silver carbon fiber. Ive seen it for a few other type of cars like eclipse and civic. I figured I'd try to go a little stealthy and have the silver to blend in with my Apexi Silver Evo.... I am getting the rust spot under my spoiler and I hear that I have little change of it being corrected under warranty.

It's going to look weird, most people have never seen silver carbon fiber. 97% of the people will think you just got into a accident and the auto shop you took it to sucked at matching the color.

I can testify that I got my 2005's spoiler swaped out and painted for free under warranty. I think it depends on the dealership though. Some are cool, some aren't. Don't stop trying different dealers if one turns you down.

*The one that did mine didn't even sell me my car*

What you are calling "silver carbon fiber" is in-fact called Hexcel Texalium Fiberglass Cloth.
It is mainly used for cosmetic reason and is slightly heavier than standard fiberglass cloth. Hexcel also produces, red, blue, gold, black, etc colours of this same cloth.

You could try getting a standard CF trunk and hood then have a paint shop run some candy silver over them for a gloss coat.
