You carbon fiber bigots out there are in denial, and living in the past. You call it "ricey", only because the manufacturers sell to the largest market, the ricers. But, you damn well know you'd opt for all the carbon fiber options you could get if you had the half mil. to spend on a Porsche Carrera GT. How can you call it "ricey", the whole damn dream car is full of carbon fiber. It happens to be a technological advancement, not some kind of fashion statement. Yeah, I think the stuff looks great. I'd love to get enough people together to convince rennspd.com to give me a good price on a pair of 916 bumpers, a pair of hoods, a rear wing, and to make molds for standard rocker panels, and a targa top. Maybe even some interior parts like dash top, bottom, face, doorpanels, center console, backpad. Stronger and lighter are two things you have to like. If you dont like the look, pad it or paint it. But, you can't look at a Porsche Carrera GT and make me believe you think it's "ricey". :finger2:

Sorry, there is a huge difference between how CF was used on the CGT and how most "ricers" use it. > Looks sweet. Is that done with one layer carbon fiber, and the rest glass. Where from, how much? It's all carbon fiber, done by GT Racing. Do you really care how much they were, because I'm sure you think they should be half that price? In most cases, you get what you pay for, and 914 folks never seem to quite get that, and that's why vendors don't cater towards the 914 market. -Steve (p.s. They were about $650 per lid. http://www.gt-racing.com/catalog/gtr914.htm) |
