So this just came to my mind when i saw a IS250 that had carbon fiber trunk and hood.

When most people are buying these carbon fiber body panels for their car, are they just buying a regular old hood with a carbon fiber vinyl type thing on top of it? Are most cars out there (im talking about lower end cars from civics to say g35's, not ferrari's and what not) that have these carbon fiber panels, are they truly made up of a carbon fiber weave?
To my recollection carbon fiber is an expensive material, and I wouldn't think most ricers would want it, being how its so expensive and to there cars offers pretty much nothing except looks.

 

wrong forum

 

No. Ice cream has no bones.

 

my motor is all carbon fiber

 

I just got my carbon fiber teeth implants.

 

the scary thing is... I actually understand that reference. The scarier thing is, it goes back to 1987-88(?). lol

 

i have carbon fibre fingernails.

 

Waffles?

 

 

get a sweet CB radio so you can talk to other car-beds.

 

^^^^

 

Wtf?

 

You haven't seen the movie Grandma's Boy??? Go see it now! Seriously, it's one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

 

 

A friend of mine has a CF hood..... But it's on a 91 Toyota Soarer, pushing 700HP. More than the weight reduction is the way the openings are for air. It really helps to get the hot air out of the engine bay.

 

Most all the hoods on the net to buy are fiberglass with a sheet of real carbon fiber weave over it. That's why their a $300-$600 hood.

 

Hilarious movie. Much more entertaining then this topic...
