what in the ---- is a hood and trunk gonna do to absorb impact on a unibody frame. last time i checked there are no structural braces or anti-impact foam in my hood or trunk.

There's no way in hell to order 100 carbon pieces for a car from 100 different manufacturers and have a chance in hell the carbon will all look the same. I vote carbon fiber vinyl for the whole car. Much cheaper. :8

little secret, JDM is stock ;)

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

yeah but their are some real ricers out there that live by the JDM word, all typ of japanes stickers, painted parts black, flat black paint, red wheels, white wheels, red seats, right hand drive conversion on us cars, the BIGGEST JDM RICE IS THE GAUGE CLUSTER
why would you wanna change out your gauge cluster from the US one that reads 120mph and 240kph for something that reads 180kph in a country that goes off mph not kph. plus it does not make sense.
hold up I got one more (the stacking of washers on the hood hinges) O0 the removal of wiper blades.

if JDM means stock leave the USDM cars USDM and the EDM cars EDM . see my point about different strokes for different folks?
I like carbon some like JDM, you say tomato I say tomäto. you say mother fucker! I say madda fucka!

Hey buddy, watch it. 8)


That's so all the kids think your car goes 200 mph. O0

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

Believe it, or not, body panels have dimples stamped in then so they crumble and absorb the impact in a crash. Carbon fiber is not made to crumble or break for that matter. I hate to see what a carbon fiber door will do on impact in a "t" bone crash. I'm pretty shure a carbon fiber wont faire verry well in a rear end crash eather............. :X

But hey, to each its own rite ::)

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

I think if you like it. Do it. Why do you care what some retarded kids on the internet think?

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

Not really, CF IS lighter than the light grade steel used by most auto manufacturers...and you'd still be painting over the steel, so....Yeah.....youre not saving MUCH weight, but you are saving SOME, which serves as a good enough excuse to pawn your wife for Carbon Fiber panels. I mean I wouldnt do it personally, cuz i just dont care enough....but, for other people i guess it works. Some ppl like sleeper, some ppl like bodykits and ricer wings, and some ppl are all about Carbon Fiber....T.E.T.O.

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

civics body panels don't weigh ---- anyway, its useless 100% for looks, you'll never notice any weight difference. If you like the looks thats fine, but don't try to argue functionality or talk about painting it because it's not functional and if you spent money on CF to paint it you're retarded.


Carbon fiber is made for light weight STRUCTURAL applications, where its vacuum molded everything else is aesthetic. If you're concerned with aesthetics and you find it appealing then do whatever, who are any of us to ell you what to do with your money.


On the other hand, who are you to tell us we cant make fun of you for it if thats what we enjoy doing?

Re: I decided to go carbon
 

Well put... Most carbon fiber stuff is wrapped around fiberglass and on a Honda you really aren't saving much weight.
