If anyone knows someone who makes carbon fiber parts or maybe if you do it yourself hit me up i need some custom work. I couldn't find a USDM front bumper for a 95 integra in carbon fiber so now i am trying to find someone that will make one hit me up.

because there will always be haters...D

 

i think this is a terrible idea, for 3 reasons,

1. price 2 weight it will cost a freaking lot to do the whole bumper and it will maybe drop your weight a pound, you are replacing plastic not weight reduce

2. maintenance its is a pain in the ***** to keep carbon from fading over time, if you paint it then what the point, if it is done right it will not fade but it take time and money to do it right and people cut corners all the time on carbon.

3. carbon doesn't give and if someone bumps you in a parking lot its gone all your nut plates will shear and it will crack, dont forget about bottom outs

 

Whos to say his car isnt a dedicated track car?

I bet no one on here hates on c-wests carbon fiber S2000. Instead of right off the bat hatin ask him what it is for.


And J. Funk have to agree with you there. If they made it for my car I would buy them. I look at it as if you got the money then why not.

Because it isn't worth it. It wont save him enough weight to justify the cost. Carbon fiber is about weight, not looks. But its his money and he can waste it if he wants.

If it was a track car, I'm sure there's a performance parts he can use the money on instead of wasting it on losing half a pound.

Just my 2 cents

Gosh! I know!! I can't believe those blasted F1 teams PAINT their carbon body panels!!!!

 

Replacing metal parts with carbon fiber is one thing. But replacing factory plastic parts with carbon fiber is pretty pointless, as said, the weight savings is pretty negligible once you get it thick enough to hold its own shape.

that was for the billion or so ricers around me here near the border, they drop over a grand on hoods like almost way more then stock and fade in a month or so,
in the grand sceam of things just don't eat before you race and you will be at the same weight as with carbon in this case
