Shedding weight

V8Killer · 03-21-2015, 09:24 PM

Hey guys,

Does anybody know of someone that has OEM replacement direct fitment no modification needed carbon fiber body parts for an 09 Touring? I am just looking to see how much overall weight I can cut down on.

You can buy dry CF fenders, door panels, and hood from Seibon

Anything that is not dry carbon, will weigh the same or more than stock parts.

See the "weight reduction" thread sticky ......It's mindblowing!

100lbs shedded weight = ~0.1sec improvement in 0-60mph so i read.

i suppose handling and braking would be more detectable.

I believe its a 10th in the 1/4. Cause you know, we all live a 1/4 mile at a time.
