**FenrirWC** · 17-09-2012 02:09 PM

I will own a s2000 someday it is my dream car ^_^ but i gotta ask man if you carbonfibre the bonnet/front fenders/doors/boot (rear quarter) etc how light is this car going to be? and would it still be classed as road worthy even with a cage installed? gotta say it looks awesome and if you could somehow weigh it when your done (can dynos weigh cars?) id be very interested to know the results

The second you install a cage it is not roadworthy (according to the NSW RTA at least). As for carbon fibre panels adding 'lightness' this isn't really the case. Genuine dry carbon panels are lighter (and also lighten your wallet substantially) but these wet carbon knock off panels only really add bling. In the case of my only piece of CF bling, my bonnet, I suspect it weighs the same if not more than the OEM aluminium unit. I bought it for the vent more than anything else and will eventually get around to having it painted silverstone.

they just look very very similar to asm front fenders

u cant say they dont look rather similar wouldnt u agree?

Yeah they are replicas. A lot of companies copy ASM fender styling.

They are replica style but Zero make all their own parts. It is made in the same factory and by the same people who make all of HKS' carbon parts and is of very high quality.

looks weird
what's the point spend that amount of cash for something look weird
May as well just wrap it with carbon stickers

i have had the kit for about 3 months now. Never been pulled over. i have had highway patrol pull up next to me at traffic lights and check the car out and still nothing. I think its because they don't see the car as a hoon car, in fact, they just see it as a huge pile of paper work lol

Bump lol

carbon goes well with the silver colour.

**connorling** · 15-04-2013 03:16 PM

i think it looks mean from the picture.
but i wont go any further with carbon fiber, ie the door.

might goes well with a small carbon fiber spoiler.

not to be a snob or make you feel sad, but i don't like it and find it pointless.. i would only see going to the extent of CF panels for light weight race purposes, but when i see a list of twin subbies and all these other weight add ons.. i'm wondering, why the CF?
