yes and intergrated into the car industry. otherwise you would have be still stuck on fiberglass.
Okay, the same type of people want it for just looks regardless of what kind of car they drive. Import, Domestic, Euro, whatever. You're saying that imports are the sole reason CF is popular in automotive applications? That's kind of like saying chrome is only popular because of old hot rods. There used to be an old adage, "If it don't go, chrome it." But even without muscle cars, I'm sure big chrome wheels, chrome door handles, chrome chevy bowties would still be popular. Yikes.
Your user info says 402hp 'teg. Is it a turbo setup? Have it dyno'd before?

I guess this hood never took off. what a waste. whoever was going to make it should have. business is a gamble sometimes, i probably would have bought one if it was in good quality. too bad.
well on one of the celica forums I frequent a car was hit and it simply bent the hood. made the resin look like **** from the stretching but another member purchased it and repainted it.
I'm sure we can thank things like F1 and the aerospace industry to capitalize on the light weight of CF. Imports just have plastered it all over cars.
