Several of my class mates are very interested in Carbon Fiber, we've even gone into depth about how Carbon Fiber is among the primary ingredients in the B2 stealth bombers skin, and how if you gone un-primed Carbon Fiber and sanded it down, how it should make it radar resistant to the cop's radar guns. [Personally not convinced on that one, but willing to test it] But my question is this, for those who have carbon fiber body kits. Would you agree or disagree that it's stronger then the stock aluminum on the mustangs? One friend in particular from class says well it is part of the ingredients in Kevillar as well. So as a ridget form it would be brittle. But obviously as a fabric it can stock a friggen bullet lol. I personally do not know for certain, and am fairly interested in finding out, because I'm wondering what stands a better chance in an accident. No my mustang didn't get side swiped again. But lately all these outta state drivers in thanks to the holidays, the roads are becoming friggen dangerous. So I'm wondering what would be better Carbon Fiber Kits reduced weight, street rep yada yada, I wanna know about it's survivability. Or would I be better off sticking with stock aluminum?
Well if you do a Carbon Fiber body kit as you sated you would mostly be replacing plastic parts, I am not certain if the Carbon Fiber is stronger than aluminum, but i am fairly certain it is more brittle, and will cost more than aluminum to fix in the event of an accident. But anyways, i think our cars are made of steel not aluminum can anybody correct me on this if I am wrong.
Carbon fiber is lite and strong because they make wheels out of it.
British wheel maker Dymag is producing carbon fiber rims with nine spoke magnesium centers for the Mosler supercar. ATR built the carbon fiber chassis for the Porsche Carerra GT and Bugatti Veyron (among others) and already produces carbon fiber motorcycle wheels. ATR's business units director Vittorio Murer says that within two years we’ll see carbon fiber wheels on production cars. One of the big stumbling blocks for these very light and very strong wheels has been susceptibility to shattering when hit by road debris. Maurer says that when they arrive, certain parts of the wheel will be protected by aluminum. These lightweight wheels certainly won’t be cheap. The Dymag wheels cost thousands — for each one.
An 18" carbon fiber rim with magnesium center section weighs just 14 pounds versus 24 pounds for a forged aluminum wheel of comparative design, making it ideal for racing. But its looks are the opposite of many black-spoke with chrome lip wheels. The black color carbon fiber outer ring does not provide any contrast with the black tire and may not be appealing for use on show vehicles. And if its looks don't turn you off, then its high price tag will.

ok I just found out a way I don't have to replace my V6 with either a crate V8 or a replacement to the 08 Cobra Jet engine. which will save me anywhere from 3k to 12k. And that is replacing my stock headers. Is this true can I increase the max psi boost from 20lbs of the V6 to more? Or should I stick with the idea of going with a crate V8 or Cobra Jet engine?
Carbon Fiber or stock aluminum?
