So you guys will prob make fun of me but I’m having a hard time figuring out what I like and I want to get your opinions. I’m trying to decide what looks better on the exterior of the car. I own a black 2023 supra and i recently bought a MB Seibon spoiler. I originally wanted to have it paint matched but now I kinda like the look of it on the car unpainted. Do you guys think having a lot of carbon fiber exterior parts will look to “ricey”.

I’m going for looks on the car and not so much performance as a end goal, but I don’t want to over do it and make the car look bad/rice.

what do you guys think, a car with a lot of carbon fiber look ricey to you Or can it be done tactfully?
Ultimately you should add as much carbon fiber exterior as you want, but maybe you could add a little at a time and go from there. You can always add more. Personally, I'm a fan of carbon fiber accents along with paint matching. Hope you update us with what you decide on doing!

Yea, i think if done right it will look great, but i'm not going to over do it. i will prob do lip, diffusor, side skirts in carbon and one day in the future, i will most likely get a new hood and rex speed fenders(painted) and will wrap the car. but that's way in the future, i need to get the car paid off before that. I'm trying to get the car paid off in 2-3 years so that's cutting into my build money atm.

That sounds like a solid plan. we hope we get an update soon, i'm sure it's gonna look epic. Supras and carbon fiber is a great combo.

I have a carbon fiber or half carbon fiber steering wheel and it looks and feels amazing.

The steering wheel looks great. Do you have a link for the ones you got? Thanks!

Even on phantom grey it’s hard to tell

I think on white it would look great! But mine is solely for looks and it’s PPF. Wasn’t going to do the roof but said what the hell when I saw that stuff ?
Where did you get the carbon roof and how did you get it installed?

Carbon fiber -- especially carbon fiber interior stickers -- are the avocado green refrigerator of car mods.

Stick on = no go
Real replacement = dope to me
Its a supra, nothing about it is supposed to be luxurious, or super fancy. Floor your car & you'll agree with me, shit kicks out like no tomorrow.

I like the ratchet look on the car, some people buy drag packs for a stock power car.. to each their own. With that being said this is how my car sits. Kinda wanna powder coat the wheels.

I got it from Andy at Detail Freaks in Ft. Myers FL. It’s some kind of PPF. Just for looks and any random rock chip dropping out of the sky ?
