Im thinking about getting a carbon one but i was hoping for something similar that wasnt. I Already have the carbon tailgate and personally i dont want too much carbon in the back. Ive considered painting the carbon too. I know not many people do it here, but why not right. Weight reduction plus a cleaner look.

It seems to have hurt it a little. I would say its still getting about 35 mpg, 38 when im more gentle than usual. Its in the high rpms that it is really making a difference. There is afterfire sometimes when shifting (again at high rpms) which is unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust.

- Tue May 17, 2011 3:06 am #255546 Ah true, I did a B swap and haven't done the o2 sensor yet, it's probably best to do it asap. Might burn piston rings or something?

- Wed May 18, 2011 2:51 pm #255741 Lol. I don't know if any flames make it to the end or not. I doubt they do though its minor afterfire.

I'm not worried about it burning my rings. The engine is fine the exhaust is seeing the excess fuel.

And yeah I guess its 4 colors if you include the carbon fiber?

No updates yet. Waiting on time(it to finally stop raining everyday) and money.
