About the same as tubular subframes on a street car.

Hot take, exposed carbon fiber is dumb unless its done as an accent. I hate replacement cf panels. Really only makes sense if you are going for weight reduction and doing dry carbon. Carbon over FRP anything is some lame ricer shit.

I tend to agree. Way back when I had my VR-4 I wanted a 2g style hood and they were 'carbon' and I was going to have it painted... Course the 3k paint bill was a big reason why I never got one lol.

I figured most wouldn’t want it, my hood is aftermarket and has a decent paint on it, my fenders have bubbles, deep scratches to the metal, and just overall not great. I think CF offers the accent and the paint fix. Plus this guy does really good work.

It’s just gonna be a run of 5 and 2 sets are spoken for, just gonna see if any of you wanted it first.

I would more or less call her a “garage bitch” because she isn’t a queen and doesn’t see the road enough to be a street car. But I have been driving her to work in the summer a lot.

It’s looks. I like real CF parts, could save a pound but it’s more for looks for me.
