Carbon fiber is used for light weight.

Depending on the type and point of load, CF is stronger than steel.

There 2 types of CF. Dry and Wet.

Dry carbons are the lightess and also more expensive than wet.

But both shatter / crack on impact.

Carbon fiber is not a good heat conductor. Is has poor heat disipating and absorbing properties.

Real genuine CF products are very very expensive.

For example, a dry carbon Varis hood price is about RM5K++ whereas imitation CF hoods are priced around RM1K++

cf can bend but not too extreme level.... if too extreme will crack or shatter.... steel hood bend already den need to ketuk back....

After long time treatment from engine heat, CF will become brittle .. then can cause crack easily.

 

[mynnDAWG]

its all depend on type of CF hood ya going...branded like spoon, varis, chargespeed, monster, etc etc are very very light + super strong!...stronger than steel...

after a while u need to reapply the lacquer coz of UV laa

 

[t0il3t_duck]

hehhe boon... that's the fact...
