    How useful is carbon fiber?

    I know it allows for weight reduction, but is it really worth it if you're just a hood or trunk?

    ~100lbs per item i believe. which is roughly 1/10 of a second faster per 100 lbs reduced

    I don't think you will "FEEL" a difference in any manor to be honest.
    You may see a difference in your time slips but that also requires you to be a very consistent driver. 9 times outa 10 ppl buy carbon fiber for the looks.
