There is some maintenance that goes along with getting carbon fiber.

And who makes CF fenders for the FG? Seibon?

CanyonDriver · 11-29-2007, 08:48 PM

whats a good source for a cheap OEM style cf hood?

siracing17 · 11-29-2007, 08:48 PM

well i heard it can warp in the winter .. with your engine being hot and its cold outside... so i would just put my stock on in the winter and the cf in the spring summer and fall.
