[808MP5]

my hood looks yellow like yours.
Hmm I wonder when I shall get mine

 

[SwirlFX]

Yeah i'm going to sand it down to remove the gel coat. Then re clear it. Either that or do something creative with paint on it.

 

[justanothermp5]

that should do it^
your going to have to sand it for quite a while though lol

 

[SwirlFX]

Yeah Isport smiled and said "5 hours no prob"!

 

[We Are Ninja]

Whatever, homie. That looks amazingly hAwt even with the yellow...(eekdance)

 

[xDJ DUBx]

lol, I was wondering how bad it had gotten since I had it. It was yellowing up on me when I got rid of it..

 

[Focus]

iSport I sent you a PM, not sure if you saw it...

 

[SwirlFX]

Got a few PM's about my wheel tire fitment.

17x8.5 +30mm
215/45/17

If I could afford 215/40/17 I'd do it. Maybe 225 with a test fit.

 

[808MP5]

Fender update

All of the fenders that have been ordered have been infused plus a couple sets that have minor flaws in them (will let them go for a discount.....). I am doing all of the minor prep and pre-sanding in preparation for clearcoating. Thanks for all of your patience. More labor involved than I thought.....
For those that might be interested in a set with minor flaws send me a PM and I will work out pricing with you. The flaws are not all that bad, but not quite up to our standard.

 

[SwirlFX]

Currently watching Isport slave away in 95 degree heat making carbon awesome.

 

[Outlawstar98]

I can't wait! Just because soon I'll have

Built motor, XC hood, carbon fenders and a nice and shinny GT30!

Ask and you shall receive

Here is the first fender out of the mold. It is wet sanded in a few places and not clear coated, so no shiny part yet.
It fit good and it seems to be about 20% of the weight of the stock steel.

on a side note, you can see how yellow the hood is. it almost looks like kevlar.

So how much do the stock fenders weigh? Same question regarding these; you must have weighed them right?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Pretty sure there is minimal to zero weight savings.

Just went to the shop and weighed them..... Stock fenders = 6.18 lbs
our CF fenders 1.75 lbs

 

[CulRidr]

The fenders weigh less then I thought, but it still amounts to a 9lb weight loss. That's only about 0.3% of the total of the car, but every bit counts...
What does a CF hood weigh compared to stock (if anyone knows off-hand)?

 

[Outlawstar98]

My stock hood weighed ~40lbs

My VIS Evo Hood weighed ~12lbs.

 

[CulRidr]

Awesome, thank you!
That would be a little over 1% in weight reduction, which isn't anything to scoff at
