DGMotorsports had this Speed3 at SEMA to show off all the soon to be Carbon Fiber pieces that will be available. I look forward to their release and will be looking to get the front lip spoiler, sideskirts, moustache bumper cover and rear spoiler! Of course not all at once. As you can see they have a functional CF Hood with vent! Notice the CF dash trim and speedometer cover. The rear bumper Diffuser is pretty sweet. I've purchased CF from them before on my old Protege5 along with Albert and can attest to the very good quality.

Looks nice. DG makes great carbon fiber parts, on my old protege5 i have their sideskirts and hood...neither of them are cracked or have sun damage.

Im not usually a fan of the moustache...but on a car it looks pretty okay.

I also had the engine cover....it was on the car when i got it, as was the hood....i think what causes this to go a little faster than the other CF parts is the engine heat. I have a close to new pair of the pillars if anyone is interested....i need some stock pillars to fill in the holes though.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that car looks like ass to me. Just way too much going on with the car. I told know what to look at on it. That little air damn on the roof looks terrible, but it might cover up someone's golf ball sized dent.

I guess I am just not a fan of the carbon fiber look. Personally, it would need to be painted or the whole car would need to be carbon fiber for it to look right.

That's just my opinion though.

^Its a Sponsored Rallye/Show car so of course the paint job is going to be eccentric along with DGMotorports wanting to showcase all of their available Carbon Fiber pieces. While Carbon Fiber isn't the prettiest to some it sheds weight in certain areas of a vehicle which in turn increases Performance. And like you said it CAN always be painted... :)

Well...if you weren't gonna be the first to say it, I would have. That paint job looks like shit. I understand they're trying to bring attention to the car, but Christ. And what the hell is up with the roofscoop? That just screams of lulz.

The badassness of them doing AWD on that thing almost makes up for the fact it's so damn ugly. Now that they made it AWD, they're only a little work away from making it RWD. That would be SWEEEET.
