Carbon Fiber Parts
Fiberglass and urethane body components have long been the standard for altering the appearance of your factory auto body styles. But if you really want to be on the edge of automotive design, you definitely want to check out the newest material in automotive accessories. Technology and innovation are constantly moving forward, opening up new options.
Carbon fiber is expensive, but not because of the materials use. The construction methods to manufacture carbon fiber is what makes it expensive. Carbon Fiber is actually a textile cloth made out of thin carbon strands tightly woven together in a multi-layer crisscross pattern to provide a strong bond that holds this weave. This carbon weave is then applied to a suitable mix of plastic resin and molded to form a carbon fiber product. This combination is also known as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP).
The beneficial properties of carbon fiber are lighter and stronger than steel, minimal thermal expansion under heat application, extremely low flex fatigue over time and is non flammable. It's not indestructible, but for the most part, it will take a whole lot more of a beating then other materials. This makes it ideal for structural or semi-structural components in automobiles
For those seeking a way to give their cars light, yet rigid and strong body components, carbon fiber is the way to go. Whether you choose to add simple touches like a carbon fiber spoiler or a carbon fiber hood, you'll find that your car will weigh less. Just as an example, swapping an OEM steel hood with any carbon fiber hood can save up to 25 pounds. The weight savings also leads to an increase in performance. A car that weighs less accelerates faster, stops more quickly, gets better gas mileage, and handles better through the curves. Carbon fiber is the perfect match for enthusiasts who are looking to jazz up their rides' appearance without the hindrance of additional weight. Carbon fiber is by far the most obvious choice for any car that regularly sees any race track.
