oem to carbon fiber changes?
Okay gusy Ive searched and searched, but cant find very much good info on what im looking for.
I want to go to an oem style carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber trunk with no wing...
My questions are... do these parts come with all the hardware or to u have to reuse the oringal hardware? How much weight difference is there in the oem hood and trunk vs the cf hood and trunk? and is this going to effect the handling/ride of the car? anyone who has actually dealt with any of this please let me know. Please dont mess up this post with the whole "rice this, rice that" or "my friend says"
thanks

It doesnt change the handling at all with only the CF hood. It weight significantly less. The CF hood and box weight in at 14pounds for me. I dont know what the stock hood weighs, but its significant. I would say about 40% less. You do have to use the stock hardware (hinges, hood strut). I dont personnaly like the CF trunk, but its all preferance. However the CF center sections is very hot! hope that helps
