If you can make anything you want with carbon fiber for an ACURA what would it be??

If someone told you they could make anything out of Carbon Fiber for either structural or cosmetic purposes for your ACRUA, What would you want? And what would you be willing to pay for HIGH END parts?
I was thinking some light weight half shafts that are stiffer and lighter than stock. What do other think???

Well depends on crash and engine loads. But to give you some basic numbers CF has a density of 1.5-1.8g/cm^3 Steel has a density of 7.8g/cm^3. but not sure how thick you would have to make it.....

lbs and inches please, im having a hard time imagining grams and cm. even though the rest of the world uses metric, we're the US!

realistically...
hood, doors, trunk, front and rear splitter, side skirt lip, lip spoiler, roof spoiler, dashboard, headlight housings, front grille, front and rear fenders, engine cover, roof overlay, all plastic interior panels...
+ everything jptl04 already did.

On a CF shaft I havent run the numbers yet. I think it would be pretty light. I would guess half the weight. Whats the max torque you would want them rated to and with what factor of safety?

look at the enzo as a example, it CAN be done, and has BEEN done before, but yes the price does skyrocket though

then i think the v6 engine is built in a Anne, Ohio plant (i may have the name wrong, but i know it is closeby though)

got an refrigerant bottle scale at work that will do.... just try to remind me .....
First off i dont know if you notice but your car is metric.......even tho it was made in the USA but its .28lbs/in^3 vs .054lbs/in^3

what i REALLY want to see are some doors....
BTW issue with CF driveshafte/axles for FWD, room is kinda lacking up there, especially going through the fork for the strut (they need to be a larger diameter then a simple steel one)

the curb weight of the car is something like 3,500 + lbs! CF parts aren't gonna do shit! as far as weight savings. they'll look cool though. the only one who would notice a difference as far as performance due to weight loss is inacurate since his TL suffers from anorexia

that is how to make it, blueprints will not work, carbon fiber is pretty difficult to cut

Why do you say this? vill0169 has the HVAC deleted. The HVAC is the only thing extra that he has removed compared to mine.
Mine is a DD. The other is a track-only car.
Feels good to have a friendly "TL Diet" rivalry
