This is pretty inspiring. Since my car requires a paint job - this got me wondering.... RennSpeed sells CF and FG replacements for nearly all the 914 panels:
Hood, front fenders (w/flares), bumpers, rear decklid (w/ ducktail), door skins, rear quarters. That doesn't leave a lot left. Since I was planning on replacing the decklids anyway - would this be cheaper than actually having the car painted. I could rattle-can black any remaining exposed steel pieces. Also - what additional framing would have to be added for a car with such an absence of steel? And how much weight loss do you think this would yield.

Fiid,
That would be a sight to behold and cost a fortune. To get the Elise show quality, they must have made many pieces to make all adjoining patterns to match. Many exotic car manufacturers use CF throughtout their car but no one to my knowledge leaves them unpainted which begs the question... Like chrome, the exposed CF pattern is used primarily for esthetics. |
