BodyModification: Current Trend of Carbon Fibre Applications?
My question is pretty simple. I love the look of carbon fibre hoods, roofs and wings. Before I looked into it, I thought Carbon Fibre was a type of solid plastic or something, that was light weight with very low wind resistance, to get some extra velocity out of your automobile.
However I watched a video where people send you a Carbon Fibre Kit that is quite cheap, and you do your own parts. They send you enough carbon fibre to do small parts like Mirrors.
My question is this. Although the Carbon Fibre is very good for low wind resistance, and it also looks really cool. What is the point of adding the extra weight over top of a part? For instance you buy a Mustang right? You get a Carbon Fibre hood. Yea it looks cool, but its just extra weight to the aluminum or steel hood?
Isn’t it?
That’s not true carbon fiber. That’s a carbon fiber wrap…basically carbon fiber fabric wrapped around a part then clear coated to make it adhere/stiff and to prevent the fabric from fading.
Real carbon fiber is either formed into a shape using a similar process…but most carbon fiber parts are actually fiberglass wrapped with carbon fiber fabric and clearcoated.
The point: To ATTEMPT to look cool…nothing else.
