Carbon Fiber - everybody loves it, everybody wants it, few people have it and and a very small group go extreme with it (Beats down payment on a house :confused ) The parts made it to the scene by being functional and helping reduce weight in body panels of the car without sacrificing structural integrity. In recent years however it’s unique visual element has made it a new trend and companies offer everything made from carbon fiber material, and people will pay big bucks for the parts that offer little benefit in return. CF whores know you’re on here somewhere. :ninja Elliot and his car alone could fill this thread, but I’m curious to see some of the carbon goodies you guys can find. Lips, fenders, interior pieces, wheels, unique pieces and entire cars are all fair game.

Carbon fiber is good if you really need to reduce weight in your car… putting it on for pure looks is FTL, imo. :ponder ---

And remember. There is a difference in the REAL carbon fiber and the carbon fiber that you see on most cars. The “carbon fiber” hoods that you see on most cars are not “true” carbon fiber. They are a layer or two of carbon fiber over “fiber” glass. A HUGE difference. Actually I don’t think I have ever seen a true carbon fiber hood on a car except at a car show once. ---

I wanna get CF panels on my Z31, simply to redeuce the weight, anyone who knows about the car or has seen it knows shes a pig… and it wouldent look to good haveing random carbon fiber parts but it would reduece weight greatly. simply the only “effective” carbon fiber panels I can buy for my car is the hood, front fenders, front bumper and hatch, everything else is for looks and simply adds weight. It wouldent look appealing but it would free around ~100 or so lbs. and they say for every 100lbs you shave off your car thats a 10th of a second in the quarter. In my car it would deffinately make a differance. The only way im going to get these pieces thou is when my friend dave leaves for japan in 4 weeks to teach japanese students, because the company prodeaur doesnt ship to the US. so i have 2 years if I really want to do it. Not to mention they have a lot of performance goodies you cant get here for my car ---
