[QUOTE="noldevin, post: 15397349, member: 166003"] There are two kinds of carbon fiber you can put on a car. You have stuff like Trufiber, which is shiny and pretty and loaded up with laquer to make it look nice. These are show pieces and will rarely lose much if any weight. This is the carbon fiber that people should consider "rice" Then you have the race pieces like what MMR sells. They are thin, light, and generally pretty ugly. They take a lot of prep to make them look nice and might need some extra reinforcing pieces to prevent them from flexing and ruining the paint (like the tiger CF hood). Most racers would probably just vinyl wrap them. These will save a lot of weight but I wouldn't expect them to fit well or look nice, even when painted. This kind of carbon fiber is by no means "rice" unless you put it on a street car that [U]never[/U] gets raced. [/QUOTE]
