So flame suit on... I was wondering why every single diffuser, spoiler or aerodynamic bolt on for the GT series is only in carbon fiber? Yea I get the bling factor it was the same with the corvette but at least with the vette there were ABS or FG options if you did not want CF. On the track CF takes a beating... I for one am not a fan of CF, I think it looks good with some colors but with others it out of place. I think as an interior trim its a nice touch. I would like to see a vendor make some stuff in something else besides CF... excuse the blasphemy Thanks.

No blasphemy at all. I was looking to do the Luthen Rear diffuser in GFK so I could paint it the car color and after it’s all said and done it would cost a lot just to get it that way. Plus you would not have to add a front carbon fiber piece as well.

The aerodynamics package option for the GT/GTS are not made of CF parts, and I happen to like them that way ...

Not a flamable post at all. I was a CF junkie, but have started to move on towards recovery.

I was about to make the same comment, but I think that the OP is talking about aftermarket pieces.

yea exactly. I would love to be able to purchase an aftermarket diffuser in something other than CF so it can stay black and match black and white look of my car. It seems that not a single aftermarket supplier has anything which is sad because I'm sure there would be a lot of sales.
