Hi. Any advice,experience on having any of the above done would be appreciated. I would love to change the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser on my 991 GT3 to carbon fibre but looking at 6-7k! So looking at other alternatives, obviously must be hard wearing and look good biggrin

Personally would rather not do if the parts will not be carbon otherwise it's tacky imo

I agree, would never do anything that looked tacky or sub standard, reason for my question is just that, to find out how good or bad the other alternatives are.

I thought the same about fake carbon, but the Ferrari boys do it and get good results and it does help on the stone chips.

wet dipped it seems, take a look here, it really looks quite good.

you get the haters I guess but only if you tell people it's dipped as looking at that no one would know.
