Looks nice...shipping will put at least 50% on top of that.
But then again its carbon fibre so its probably cheaper.
Heres the pics on the car. Just becareful if you need to roll the fender, because the CF wont bend at all.

Note that there are no holes for the side indicators.

yeah the yank spec Mx5 didnt have side indicators. It shouldnt be too hard to cut a couple holes in them though.

haha I was wondering why that car had different colour fender, couldn't work out why the guy could afford those rims and brakes and then ran out of paint. Saw it on miata.net, absolutely gorgeous car, specially the lip and rims and brakes. Makes me want to get an NB.
So how much lighter are the CF fenders, the stock ones are already aluminium aren't they?
What about a CF rear fender?
Is that a garage vary lip for the nb?

yep its a garage vary job. 18,800 yen from takakiara.

I love the vary lip but was considering getting some carbon SE lips made up and some carbon fibre skins to glue over SE lips to make them look carbon.

Sorry to spoil the party, but aren't CF panels illegal for road use?

yeah i remember CF parts are illegal. I think it is because CF destroys the car's ability to absorb the impact, thereby creating a more dangerous car (feel free to correct me though)
also the GV bodykit rocks so much! second only to the OEM NB8B kit.
