Carbon Fiber

Streetable racecar not daily driver

Schoneck
DMC
racecraft
CFM
VFN
motor city

only ones worth buying

but be ready to open up the check book and wait for parts.

fiber glass is a few hundred bucks less and will only be a few lbs heavier per part. a hood for example. around 1100 for carbon 750 for glass. 6lbs for carbon 8 lbs for glass.

but all the front ends hoods dashes and doors hatches and such will be pin on parts so the car will need to go to a pro to be mounted and fastened on along with making the correct support tree's and such

Not worth it, save the weight somewhere else.

I think you should look into hydrodipping. You get the CF look without the price or other difficulties associated with using it. @MikeH686 had some parts hydrodipped and it looks great.

Yeah I would hydro dip anything and you can do whatever color you want carbon fiber too

I wouldn't drive a car with glass doors on the street ever! Glass hood and maybe a hatch...sure. These cars aren't good in accidents even with steel body parts. I've seen what happens when glass front ends hit the side walls at the track. I surely wouldn't want someone smacking me on the street. Especially in the door area right were I sit. Again if it's ONLY a race car...do what you want. My ex used to be an EMT and I've heard all the horror stories. She even talked me out of my first stang after a call involving one(we just had our first child).Driver lost both his legs after getting t boned. Just sayin'
