Settle down there. I know you have a great hate of c/f anything, even on imports, but you need to let people build it how they want. I think it looks awsome, but IMO i think painted sides would have looked better, either way its badass. The color is soooo nice, and flows works with the c/f very well. The finish is awesome. Keep up the great work, cant wait to see more!

Maybe you should send a letter to Dodge and get them to stop production, quick! They probably don't know that carbon fiber is only for import cars. They currently use carbon composite materials in EVERY SRT10.

Check out the parts that are carbon composite on every single Viper.

And a better explanation of why they used carbon:

Dodge really screwed the pooch on this one huh? The fastest best handling Viper to date, and it utilizes carbon composite instead of steel or aluminum. OH MY!

I guess it's not a muscle-car afterall, but a ricer at heart. Carbon composite materials make it lighter and stiffer. The accents I changed would make it even more lighter, hence quicker.

Send a letter to Chevy too, the hood of the 2003 Z06 is carbon fiber, but painted. They probably don't know what they are doing either.

Sorry you don't like it, but it's staying as is.
Thanks for looking!

Some people just can't see the fact that others want to build how they want. Why can't everyone just keep their opinoins to themselves if they are bad or agaist how other want to build their models.
Once again amazing job so far.

HAHAHA.. that Cadguy, he's a real rebel, putting CF on a Viper....

It looks great Matt, can't wait to see the finished build.

Killer model Matt. I'm loving the comments and the counterpoints .

Welcome to summer vacation .

I was just voicing my opinion.. And besides, carbon composite .vs. carbon fiber. They're both different materials. Carbon fiber is woven, carbon composite is not.

Joey.... I'd love to see 'em beat my 409, my neighbors 468, my uncles blown nova, & my uncles '96 impala ss

Cadguy, I'm lovin this so far, the CF decals really bring the car to life. Painted, IMO the car looks very dull. CF somehow livens it up. Great work so far.

Just as I thought, you don't know jack about carbon fiber.

Composite - A component produced from two or more different materials, e.b., fiber and resin.

Fiber-Carbon comes from the producer in the form of a "FIBER". Fibers are rated in size with a "K" designation: The "K" of a fiber is how many THOUSANDS of tiny "filaments" are grouped together. The smallest, (and most expensive $ per-pound!) is a "1-K" fiber. The "3-K" size is a more commonly used fiber, it contains 3,000 filaments, or 3-times as many as that in a 1-K fiber. Next up in size/strength, with even higher volume of commercial use, is a "6-K" fiber; then "12-K" etc. Carbon fibers are bought and sold priced "by-the-pound".

Weave "weave" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wv)
v. wove, (wv) wo·ven, (wvn) weav·ing, weaves
v. tr.

1.
1. To make (cloth) by interlacing the threads of the weft and the warp on a loom.
2. To interlace (threads, for example) into cloth.
2. To construct by interlacing or interweaving strips or strands of material: weave a basket.

Composite, fiber and weaving are three entirely different things. Comprende?

Carbon fiber/composites are the material, weaving is the method in which they are joined.

Okay, if I wanted an explanation from a dictionary, I would've looked it up myself. Thank you though. I'm just saying that carbon fiber doesn't look good on an American Sports Car! No, I am not talking about a Cavalier, and cars in that category.

I love this place.

[blubaja]

Oh my, you must really hate the Enzo then..pasta anyone? hehe...What if he used the carbon decal all over the whole car, and its components, but painted them all normally, would you not like that either? What if.....you needed to use carbon fiber? Do any of your rc models or your bike have any? you should search this place and see the ALL CARBON BODIED supra one member made, roborex I reckon? You'd prolly think its so ricey that you can see little chinamen (joke people) walking around harvesting it all. Be cool people...Don't forget about the carbon fibers' nearly indestructible hard to damageness, or how it adds hp and fast4rness to the honduhs and such...ahhhgggaaa!!!!!! ....carry one..oh...Cadguy, the viper is coming along great! Keep the cf, ad more!! Moree!!!!! Add so much that Jasons head explodes!!:-D

Was that supposed to be funny? If so, it wasn't. Look, you need to calm down and watch your mouth. This all started because of my opinion! It's an OPINION!!!!! Your opinion will obviously differ from mine. Why don't you think before you speak? Well, happy modeling.
