Dpate Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 So I bought the Tamiya GT4 kit, and both scale motor sports photoetch set, and pewter carbon fiber decal template set. My question is - is there even a real version of the car fully done in carbon fiber? Can’t find pics of one on the web at all. Like I know there are certain parts of the car that is fiber, but never seen a full bodied carbon fiber GT4. Also if i were to carbon fiber the whole body would I be able to use Tamiyas decals on top of it? Decal on top of decal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The Mustang GT4 is not a fully carbon fibre bodied car. It has a steel unibody, but the doors, trunk lid, roof, hood, rear wing, front splitter, and under tray are carbon fibre. I would assume the front fenders are too, but I could be wrong.

Yeah that’s what I was asking was just the whole body carbon fiber. Cause every pic I see especially of Tamiya is gray. But the template decal set covers the entire body shell of the car. Every part you just named lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagerpm Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) While I have not seen a Mustang done this way, a few years ago there was a Mercedes race car with a carbon fiber pattern vinyl wrap. So if you use those decals on a Mustang, you would essentially be representing the same thing. The real grey Mustang is just that, a grey Mustang: Edited March 12, 2022 by vintagerpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing the carbon fiber is just a custom option. Still trying to decide if the hassle of full carbon decals is worth it over the beautiful grey.
