Man I didn’t know the car without the CF comes with the black parts anyways…. That swayed me since from not so far or further…. You can’t tell it’s CF…

I listened to my gut and ordered the car without and I went from 1100 to 4300 in under 4 months…. No mark up or funny packages…

There will be all the aftermarket CF you can handle for these cars… (someone here already has some wings that looked pretty good) so I didn’t sweat it.

You guys opting out of the CF packages are missing out. The finish is ridiculous in person. It is worth the extra wait.

That's not my cup of tea, however I'm still in the 1100 doom so not sure if it matters....

No other option for the Carbon seat, however.

And if a aftermarket CF company is willing to do tests showing their accessories provide as much downforce as the OEM CF, I’d consider it.

It appears from the "Build and Price" that there are additional parts that get added when you pick CF1 and CF2. Are you positive that non-CF cars look exactly like a CF car with all the same pieces? I am referring to the CT5-V BW.

It’s not impossible.

Cf1 replaces the existing parts with CF

CF2 is additional

If you’re a serious track person then the Cf packages are not enough DF anyways. They just look amazing

I’m a hobbyist track person who wants a nice ride on the way to/from.

I just want a spoiler bigger than the base one, and smaller than the CF1 one. I wouldnt mind it being CF or painted. However, I just sent a message to my friend down near Atlanta about the process to design/produce a CF spoiler. He had recently posted pics of them laser scanning the front of an Lexus LFA for a CF front lip spoiler.

Wait, someone is putting an after market CF lip spoiler on an LFA?

Exactly. Get an Ariel Atom...but then again those have zero downforce also, ha.

Then the CF is worth if you’re a collector.

I want to enjoy my car the sooner the better. If I feel like I want CF I’ll tag on bits later.

CF2 is additional

But CF1 splitter and spoiler are notably bigger than the base black ones.

CF2 adds carbon grill trim, side rockers and rear diffuser.

I’m going without CF. Mostly just for the sleeper look and the splitter would be a mess for winter driving.

I want to see the normal wing versus the CF1 wing… so yes that would help!

I can't remember if the 2020 V is the same as the new Blackwing but here are some pics...I don't know if this will help or not...

Wow, quite a difference when you zoom in and compare the size of the rear rubber.

Well, aftermarket in the sense that it will be custom designed and a new mold made for the CF part to be made from. Here they are just 3D scanning the front in order to render the part on a computer. I do not know further details. My friend did respond and said its a pretty straight forward process. Easiest would be to create a clay model of the desired spoiler, then scan that, and create the mold. Then make as many as needed. He also said they could also wrap a production part in real CF. I wonder how the base spoiler would look in CF.

Isn’t this the non-CF wing on the CT5-V BW?
