Carbon Fiber Civic
Since Carbon Fiber Hoods lighten up a good amount of load off of a car.....I was wondering how much would it cost if I wanted to make my whole 1996 Honda Civic Ex Coupe carbon fiber.

I've seen hoods, fenders, trunk lids, spoilers, side skirts, and lips. You're going to have a problem with the doors, rear quarter panels and roof, which means a lot of money to have stuff custom made.

   Seriously though that would seem like alot of work, and personaly I think its not worth the hassle. I wouldn't try something that extreme unless you really have some high expectations of your car for speed.

But seriously you want your car lighter. You got an EX so drop the power options u got on it.

yeah, I wouldn't go all carbon fiber for a daily driver. That's dangerous and too much money.
It helps extremely in handling. Mugen did it to their 2002 Civic Type R. But that was strickly a race car.

If you want your car to be lighter go buy an EG hatch.

i've seen full blown drag imports that have a carbon fiber shell(nsx on TV a couple weeks ago)im sure it cost ALOT of $$$ to do this though, to have a whole shell custom molded of CF.
