No way dude Carbon fibre is much more fragile In motorcycling there also exist magnesium and carbon fibre wheels, and the disadvantage of carbon fibre is that it doesnt bend, it just breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 They would look great if the spokes were a different colour or the spokes were carbon aswell. Look silly with the white spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parts shown are the new Asuka (IIRC) bodykit and I don't know how they fit, other stuff is known to have massive fitment issues and being CF it's gonna end up looking shite, imo. (seibon bonnets, doors and rear hatches have all been known to have fitment issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 carbon roof sounds tricky - how to keep chasis rigid? carbon is stronger than metal... but no idea on how to integrate it in the first place. edit: it's just a cover for the roof. anyway back on topic...
