    I have not seen/heard of them. IF they existed, there is a good chance I would have known.

      So, I just went out to the garage and weighed a fender at 7 lbs. So, guesstimate 15 lbs. for both, then the CF Weight discount, 6-8 lbs. In all reality you spent $800.00-1200.00 to lose 7-9 lbs. I think spot drilling the chassis would net you similar loss of weight. And it's free.

        He has said he is not trying to lose weight though.

          Exactly. Not a logical choice.

          2. money is not the concern

          3. they would be painted.
          If they are not intended to save weight and you will paint over them, then why the hell would you bother trying to source CF fenders in the first place?

          What in the world can you achieve with painted CF fenders that you couldn't achieve with steel or fiberglass ones? Except for lightening your wallet, CF fenders have no practical advantages over fiberglass. Considering how light stock fenders are to begin with, CF hardly has any advantage over even steel.

          This thread makes no sense.

            it's funny, with my painted CF hood I honestly forget that it's there 90% of the time. then I go to pop it and it nearly jumps off the car.. :nice:

              ok since noone can just take something at face value, and has to make a big deal of a simple what-if inquiry;

              i have a white e30.

              it would be cool to have cf hood and fenders

              and do an LTW flag

              but put the flag on, spray the parts white, take the flag off, and clearcoat it. so it would look like the ltw flag, only it would be carbon fiber instead of black

                I understand the need to be original, but that is just foolish.

                Why not just make a ltw flag out of this stuff?

                      My point exactly... But is buying carbon fiber fenders for the sole reason of having a carbon fiber flag show through much smarter? :p

                        I thought it would be cool, something to do. you're acting like i'm going to do this instead of buying brake pads.

                        matter of fact

                        fuck you.

                        this thread wasn't about "are cf fenders cool"

                        i wanted to know if they were made

                        you want to bicker

                        fuck you in your little arguiing ass

                          I'm completely behind you on this one. I think what you would be doing is completely bad ass, simply because carbon fiber is one of the coolest materials available. Fuck the haters...

                                Pipe down Chachi! I think your idea is cool, just a huge waste of money.

                                Opinions are like assholes... Doesn't make mine right... Just putting it out there.
