Carbon fiber parts!
 
With like a carbon hood or something, does it only show weaves on one side? Or both?

MiamiUgen7 04-28-2005 04:53 PM

only on one side. the other side is usually fiberglass

I do believe that they have double-sided carbon fiber products.

civic01vtec 04-28-2005 05:31 PM

one side

Blahman2 04-28-2005 05:33 PM

I got an email from team prototype. They told me... Most items you buy are not 100% carbon fiber, if they were they would cost around 1200 for a hood.

myGFgottaCIV 04-28-2005 06:33 PM

some hoods are double sided as well as some products, but they cost top dollar

civicguy777 04-28-2005 06:36 PM

depends on who you buy from

myGFgottaCIV 04-28-2005 06:37 PM

ok my bad, compared to non double sided, a double sided product usually costs significantly more

Blahman2 04-28-2005 06:47 PM

who sells full carbon fiber products?

Hurts2bStock 04-28-2005 07:01 PM

Most of what you can buy in our price range is wet carbon fibre too, wet carbon fibre isn't that light, its for show and it will be lighter than oem but so would fiberglass.The stuff they make planes and F1 cars from is called dry carbon and has a much more mate finish......just FYI

Blahman2 04-28-2005 07:06 PM

soooo its more for show?

real carbon fiber on a civic is like using silk to wipe your ass

Hurts2bStock 04-28-2005 07:20 PM

Everything I know about carbon fibre is from a customer of mine. He is a professor here at UBC and deveped the software Boeing uses to make the million dollar CF parts for 777's and stuff like that, and he said for the most part your not getting the true product in which CF has such a world wide reputation for.
