yeah thats why there are alot of pieces that weight under 5 lbs and are still made in carbon fiber. like lips weight like 2 lbs most. yeah and a carbon fiber lip is going to make a bigggg difference.

Well you can argue that a front lip ads down force. I think shaved side molding will look cleaner.

Well originaly cf lips were used b/c cf is light and strong. Especially applications like lips, fenders and bumpers.

If the price isnt outlandish, it would definately sell.

All it would take is one guy with a clean "JDM" car to sport them, then everyone else would follow along.

This is Honda Tech, after all.

Carbon <U>thin</U> side moldings would be cool on a black or dark colored car with other carbon objects like mirrors, hood, trunk/hatch...I dont think it would really look good on a light colored car like white or yellow
