I got my CF running boards today!
 
I got the blue cf running boards from Carbon Joe.

very cool. can't wait to see them.

Vincent July 28th 2003 03:02

How blue are they? can you take some pics out in the sun so we can see the color? I am considering the blue cf for my project

vujade July 28th 2003 09:22

Ill take some pics today.

Depending on the angle you look at them in the sun, they look either real blue or like regular carbon fiber

Vincent July 28th 2003 10:10

that is what I am looking for I want to have that perl effect and do the body in a color simular to the grey/black of the carbon and if the blue looks good then use a blue pearl in the clear coat so that the body of the car gets that same effect as the carbon when the sun hits it.

Looking forward to seeing the pics

you can see the difference in the pics.

it was even more evident in the sunlight IRL.

at times it almost looks all blue and other times it looks like
regular CF.

here's a shot of the whole Running Board for you :)

those look nice

Question:

How do you bolt them onto the car and fenders?
I can not see the lip for it where the bolt should go thru.

Alex

there is no lip for the bolts to go thru.

instead there is 2" wide carbon fiber mounting tabs for the bolts to go thru everywhere there is a bolt to go thru the body.

Looks great thanks for the pics.

Don't step on them by mistake... ouch crunch...

How much do they weigh?

vujade July 28th 2003 23:35

I dont think they even weigh a pound

Hello

Have you installed these on your car yet? Just from observation they look kinda flimsy? Im probably totally wrong, at least I hope so! I wanted to put carbon fiber running boards on my car but didn't know where to get them. Please tell me how they stand the test of time!!

Thanks

Clint

they look flimsy, but one on the car they are really sturdy.

I got them from Carbon Joe.
