Default SVR Carbon Fiber Ideas

Hey guys,

I recently got a 2017 SVR and I'm thinking about doing some carbon fiber mods. I was going to do the standard mirror covers and hood vents, but I have an idea do do some of the side body parts. I wanted to get some opinions of a mockup I made. This is not my SVR, but mine is metallic black as well. Any opinions would be welcome. Do you think they all look good? Maybe just some?

IMO the weave pattern is too large. Makes it look like a Tiger instead of a Jaguar. I'd prefer a smaller weave pattern and they would need to all go in the same direction. But, I do like where you're going with this!

Oh, for sure. I would have the size match the spoiler as close as possible.

Edit: Actually, I edited the image using a carbon fiber pattern I found online this time. I think it looks much better now with the smaller weave.

I like the pic and agree on the weave comment. I could easily drop a couple grand at that web site!

May consider CF wrap...You may like, if not, easy to peel off, and cheap to see before dropping the bigger $$ in real stuff. I put some on my 997 Turbo Lip, Hood, etc...Wasn't sure...And liked the look! Also protected the paint in those 1/2 mile airstrip races.

Reminds me of the XKR-S, which I like a lot.
