They have Carbon swing arms that have wall thicknesses that are only 1/8" thick and hollow in the middle, if u were to take one of these swing arms, or a chain stay and hit it on a solid piece of aluminum it would dent the aluminum before even a stress fracture would show on the carbon part. most of the chain stays were subject to 600*F at peak temp, and over one metric ton of pressure...
but if they were to make solid traction bars they would MORE than hold up to any pressure u could throw at them as long as they are "cooked" all the way through


Very well said... we FWD owners need this traction bars, and nobody makes them for the Proteges, and that s*** is a must if you have power and dont want to spin tires and get mad grip at launches.. Honda's uses them and they are competing with AWD and RWD cars at launches

this is a very good idea

i think there are people who already make the cf window sills for our cars! ive seen them on ebay! haha, sad but they are there! but i think the roof cap is a great idea and would sell like mad! and rear window spoiler is a great idea aswell, as long as it doesnt look to tehano, and i dont mean that in a racist way!
