If you are trying to replace the fenders on your vehicle with the highest quality, you should consider carbon fiber fenders. Carbon fiber is one of the most sought-after materials that are used in automobile manufacturing today, although it is also one of the most expensive. This material is made using millions of extremely thin fibers composed of carbon atoms in a semi-crystalline structure. Because the carbon is organized into such a regular structure at the microscopic level, the fibers are very strong for their size. These fibers are then twisted into a yarn, which is then woven together to make a fabric. Plastic resins are then added to the fabric to help it keep the desired shape. The woven nature of a carbon fiber fender makes it much more flexible and durable than one made out of a single piece of metal, and since carbon fiber is significantly less dense than steel it is more light weight, which increases fuel efficiency. When compared to original stock panels, dry carbon offers up to 70% in weight savings and standard carbon fiber offers up to 50%.
Siebon is a company that specializes in carbon fiber car parts. They make carbon fiber hoods for all different makes and models. These hoods are a quick and inexpensive way to lower the weight of the car and increase the performance. They also produce authenticracing hoods with different graphics and patterns. The hoods have a complete skeleton underside, which offers additional support. They are hand crafted, so no two hoods are exactly the same. It is recommended that these hoods are installed by professionals, as minor adjustments will need to be made. This company is one that I recommend for those shopping for good quality carbon fiber car parts.
Some other companies that make carbon fiber hoods don’t take the time and energy needed, to make a carbon fiber hood that can last for a long period of time. Because of carbon fiber hoods price range, companies often try to appeal to the cheaper market and make their products to suite. When carbon fiber hoods are made cheaply, they are easy to break and crack under pressure. In the race world that’s not a good thing.
