what, did you save 2 pounds with the fenders?


If that. I had cf fenders on my car for 3 years and finally decided to sell them because I thought the car looks cleaner without unless it's on a black car. Blus it seems if you get into an accident the cf will shatter.

*CF doors seem very sketchy for a daily driven car unless you have a full cage.

So if you think cf doors are worth your life then go for it. LoL But the car looks good buddy. If you want a picture of a red 2G with cf hood, cf hatch and cf roof I can send you some.
 
This guy got hit by an 18 wheeler...regular doors...but as you can see..they didnt exactly help much either.

He somehow survived this crash tho. It was more luck than anything. I seriously doubt his doors saved him.


I know its a stratus, but it was the best example of a picture I could find quickly.


A t-bone wreck is just bad news all over.

Did you measure the weight on the stock fenders and the carbon ?

I have a 2g with carbon: doors, hood, hatch and a custom cf sunroof plug.
I never installed my cf fenders since I didn’t think they would save me that much weight I have had them for two years now and haven’t bothered installing them

That is one clean CF Eclipse, I just got my Vis Invader hood and cf trunk put in yesterday. so far I like it but I'm getting a custom 2ga thum nail cf wing done for it. I am also planing on the Eclipse bumpers I just have to paint them to put on.
 
Dont forget about the cf muffler tip guard, headliner w/ or w/out sunroof, not sure if your car has one, if you dont want full doors get inserts!!, door sills, and front lip, and a-pilar gauge pod if you have one already.

I had cf fenders from 2005-2008 and there was not much of a difference.

Who makes those?What are they like 5k.LOL They look awsome.

360 Forged Wheels.
Although the center piece appears to be full carbon fiber, the brochure says the wheels are 3 piece forged T6 aluminum. So while the look and weight savings is definitely there, under that carbon fiber 5 spoke is most likely aluminum. (Carbon Fiber Wheels – Not the Ultimate Performance Wheel Material) which examines the science of why you will most likely never see full 100% carbon fiber wheels, these are purely for show and their structural integrity still needs to rely on the 3 piece aluminum frame.

By chance is there a Carbon Fiber trunk lid for the Spyders? I have yet to see one, and if there isn't then I will have to look around to get one custom made.

My old sponsor GT Fabrications sells them for the spyders.
Website is underconstruction so it's not on there but just call them or email them
