Carbon Fibre; How to Hide it?

[mADmAN]

So the area where the light can shine through is fiberglass correct as per your photo? Seems can see some light in the photo

no man... this is pure CF... layers and layers and layers of CF... no fiberglass whatsoever.

its the cheapo ones that has fiberglass... its basically a fiberglass hood with a layer of CF and they call it "CF hood"

but...but.... but... there are some branded ones out there that also uses fiberglass as a base and a layer of CF... build quality is usually better than the cheapo ones.

and those with fiberglass... no light can shine thru

Haih bro, even if it is legal, u would have worries whether your car became a thief magnet. I have a friend driving 3 series, he bought time front and rear already replaced with carbon fibre ones by previous owner. But his is painted. I didn't know until he said it is carbon since is painted.

Self enjoy will do la. Unless u have more than one parts is carbon then is worth showing geh LOL!

I'm also looking around for real ones. Also wanted to know the price once found. In ebay, is just too costly to import it over from the US.

Some shops a friend say there is one in Sunway custom make carbon fibre parts. Quality I'm not sure. Seems based on material and quality.

Bro. Real ones gonna cost more than your mira.

I'm planning on getting the hood, fender and bonnet CF. i'll leave the bonnet unpainted, but the rest i will have to unfortunately paint over. reverse parking everywhere la to hide the bonnet cf CF parts are so sexy tho. esp the fenders. gahhhhhhh

I've read before over here that the reason why carbon fibre hood is illegal is because in an event of an accident, carbon fibre hoods will not crumple like normal hoods do. Instead they will shatter and the splinters of the carbon fibre might impale the driver. Correct me if I am wrong.

I ain't even joking brah. Dry carbon is a lot a lot more than wet carbon. Because of the dry carbon process.

For sure more expensive for R35. R35 and Corolla, car price already differ a lot...

This is the one for corolla, but i checked, seems doesn't fit 2002 corolla. Even though 2001 was the same model as mine. 2001 below is not the same.

$595

Saw another one but that one is Carbon (FRP) $497

if so interest wanted to use CF, then do it lor, esp. money is no object.
If scare-scare CF kena curi or worry JPJ, then better don't do it lor.

Knowing that car theft in Malaysia is so geng and rampant these day.
But after CF kena curi don't pulak regret, because cry oso no tears liow at that time.

Eat saltfish, therefore must endure the thirst, as the saying goes...

Told you lah.
For most performance cars like Evo, wet carbon is almost the same weight, if not, heavier than their aluminium body parts. SO people buy for looks.

 

[Izso]

WHen I had my Wira I liked Evo fellas who changed to CF parts. THat meant the lightweight alu parts are for saaaaaaaaaaaaaleeee...

SupraFan : woi. CF on your Kancil for what la? The last thing you need is to make your car lighter than normal. You want CF I stick CF sticker for you then laquer it.
