giant waste of money

Get a set of molded FAL lexan replacement windows fo the back. Same weight drop but they look stock and are only half the price.
I would just like to add another GIANT in there on the waste of money.

Carbon Fiber: the new RICE! (JDM approved!!!)

How much weight can you actually save? Does it make that big of a difference?

I've come to the conclusion that carbon fiber is to civics what sugar pills are to people. The placebo effect doesn't make it any less "real" per se to the driver, but any assclown knows that paying $700 for a carbon fiber hatch to save 15 pounds is money wasted. I wish I had $700 right now.
