Dragon, that hood is ******* awesome! Jeez, sometimes it blows being the starving college student.

 

LOL...most of us Japan guys are starving army soldiers. We seriously eat ramen 2 a day so that we can afford these cars...



...not me of course...I like to eat...that's why my car doesn't look as good or is as fast as Dragon's

 

That's why I'm a skinny bitch...





and in reference to the other post.. Why on earth would I pay and extra $500 to get the carbon fiber hood and then Paint it???? I would just get the FRP one if I was goin to do that...

 

zeropiston...anymore pics of that panspeed ?

 

whats with the unpainted hoods? even if it is carbon fiber i still like them painted... i dont know

 

Ok. let me explain carbon fiber to you.. There are 2 types.. #1 is called wet carbon fiber that is made the way it is to look really nice and not be paited... It's not really any stronger than regular fiberglass so if your going to pait it then you might as well just get the same hood in fiber glass and not pay the extra $$ for the pretty wet carbon one...



#2 then there is dry carbon, this is stong, much sronger then wet carbon and Fiberglass and it is extremly light, aproximatly 25-50% of what fibergalss or wet carbon weighs.. it is however some what ugly and that is why some people paint dry carbon fiber parts... O' and it is extremly expensive..



Ie.. the RE-Amemia rear GT wing I want is



$998 in Fiberblass

$1498 in wet carbon fiber

$2898 in dry carbon fiber



:wiggle:

 

Dry Carbon is cured in a pressurized oven! That's why it cost so much more!

 

i have the scoot... i love it... the bov is sooo much louder and i could tell that it cools down my engine bay soo much. i could feel the heat coming out of the vents...

 

Ipainted mine but it wasn't pretty befor so I had no problem doing it.

 

You mean the one with the C-West front and sides? That's my car. Let me try to post a pic.
