Methanol injection must be the 'in thing' now.[&:] Everyone's doing that.

many people do stuff to their car just for looks. yadda yadda weight savings, but it wont help. If you want to do it, go ahead. I think a cf hood is kinda ricey. I used to have a civic back in the 90s and it had cf everywhere, it looked good cause cf wasnt very popular then. Do what you want but dont be surprised if people think it is ricey. 400 will also get you a snow performance methanol injection kit, hp > looks any day.

carbon fiber has shaved 278 lbs on my race car. and i bet if i showed you pictures you wouldnt be able to tell me which peices are carbon fiber.
everything but the roof, doors, and bumpers are carbon fiber.

but what you have to realize is that everybody on here wants to have a "race car" so they are doing everything that race car builders do.
