hi,if u can wait a while,im workin on a set of real carbon cut fenders for mine,maybe in about 2 months time,money and time is the only problem!

[Yamahammer]

i would like to see a full set in person to see if it matches the radiator grill on my LE. and how well they hold up to wear and scratches the black shit you look at it and it scratches. i would think with the patern in it it would hide alot?

[frocashmoney24]

man, ur not gonna want em, carbon fiber is brittle as shit, and it dont bend at ALL, one roll over and there goes all of ur plastic, and it scratches pretty damn easy to, i would just get the simulated shit

[jeepman380]

Carbon Fiber isn't brittle at all, in fact if you get real carbon fiber it's as strong if not stronger than steel. Don't you know that's what Ferrari's chassis are made of? The cheap carbon fiber is probably brittle but if you get the real stuff it's really strong.

[frocashmoney24]

yea but then ur lookin at 2 grande for a set of custom made plastics, and it still scratches easy, and MOST carbon fiber isent the top grade stuff thats tough as steel

i dont reckon they would be any good ... plastic fantastik

Just go with the chrome plastic, IM thinking about getting a set of that from that link now. Dose any one on her have any pitchers of there Shee with Chrome plastic? And how good does it holed up.

[87blueshee]

Yeah carbon fiber is strong as hell. I believe they were gonna make carbon fiber axles and dont they make carbon fiber whiles too? its definately strong. Its expensive but light weight and durable.

I got some chrome paint you can use.....it'd probably save you some money

I've seen a set of carbon fiber WRAPPED gas tanks on ebay, I think its red, just type banshee red, you will get something.

 

Thats just the tank, I would contact the person selling it though and see if they or the person they get them from will make full plastics. Real carbon fiber is very strong yes, but I talked to a guy I know that uses it and makes things out of it. He said that I could make my plastics, it wouldnt be that hard, but the only problem is that with carbon fiber if you were to wreck and have your shee tumble, you are looking at BREAKING the plastics instead of it bending to absorb the rolling. So basically it will snap instead of bend. In order to make the plastics you would need to make a 2 piece mold out of everything. (TOP AND BOTTOM) and then start from there.. Another method would be to cover your current plastics in a wrap, which would be easier then making a mold and the whole thing out of it, but would still be hard to do.. Mainly because its hard to make an air tight seal around it and hook a vacuum up to your plastics.. They are just akward
