It's all about the ricer mentality. CF = horsepower always. Look at the damn gills for cryin out loud.

But really, would you spend $150 on carbon fiber fenders to shave a pound or two? Fenders are super light.
maybe he got in a wreck and his fender(s) was(were) fucked up....so he decided to get CF instead of regular. :dunno: I'd do it, it looks pimp.

well, when you tally up all the things he's done to reduce the weight on his car, I think it's worth it, the hood and fenders were just a couple of the things done for weight reduction.

As ugly as they may be, they release hot air from under the hood...it actually is functional.
