Re: Carbon fibre/fibreglass for 911

What were your experiences ?

Also is there any benefit of carbon fibre apart from the strength ?

Do you know of any manufacturers of these parts ?


Thanks

Your comments are appreciated.

The only real benefit to carbon fibre is that it's significantly stiffer than fiberglass. It's not all that much lighter, really.

They have just about everything you could want in carbon fiber and fiberglass.
