Carbon Fiber weight reductions, is it worth it? Options

[dutchboy]

How much do each of the OEM style CF hood and hatch from Seibon / Vis shave from the weight of the car?

Are hood pins required for the hoods(has OEM style hood latch).

Be sure not to count the glass in weight measurements.


Just wondering if it is worth the cost of the parts.

Thanks!

sorry, the CF I guess came from the thread title. But I was basicly saying that after you remove the cheap stuff, your costs start going up exponentially to save weight.

for autox your mr2 is either E or C class
your celica is probably G class. so after the PAX, yes, its very possible that your celica is faster. But with raw times, you should be quicker with your mr2.

Oh no doubt, I was saying in the beginning stages of weight reduction compared to engine mod.s or in layman's terms doing free stuff is better then spending money which I think everyone can agree on lol.
