Re: Carbon Fiber
very limited, there was a thread here years ago with some fenders, hood and door skins but it was unsafe on the street. with cf material so expensive now not many companies are willing to work with it.

Re: Carbon Fiber
Unless you are going to replace heavy, load bearing body panels with CF, it won't take off too much weight and is too expensive.

Re: Carbon Fiber
True, but some years ago, I worked at a body shop that did a lot of work on european race cars and the porsche 993 RSR uses carbon fiber trim rings around the rear quarter windows! LOL, the factory piece is aluminum. The weight on it is 0.061 lbs. The weight on the cf piece is 0.048 lbs! It is considered a big weight saver, LOL.
I guess it all depends on how ****-retentive you are! LOL
Still, CF IS cool.
