Anyone out there had experience with lightweight rear deck lids? Who manufactures them? Approximate weights? Lar.

QUOTE(anthony @ Oct 26 2003, 08:32 AM) Who makes the carbon fiber hoods? Are they safe for a street car? GT Racing has them, check a couple of links up. $662.95 safe ? i think i don't understand your question. i was once in a frontal impact with a 914 and the hood bent like aluminum foil; i don't think it's strong enough to have dissipated much if any energy in the 'crumple zone'. carbon won't bend like metal so i'd expect it to crack pretty good if anything were ever dropped on it. but it's probably only a pound or so lighter than the glass for a significant price premium. |
