Stock front fender weight, Im not kidding, less than 2lb. I think they would be heavier than stock in CF. Complete waste of time. If you want it to look like CF, just have them vinyl wrapped in CF look.

Why? They really aren't that heavy. Or you want to do a wide body or something along those lines?

+1. They are so light its crazy. I can definetly see a possible weight savings of Maybe a pound each if they were done resin style, and maybe a half again with dry carbon if you wanted to spend a ton of money for not enough gain.
 

yea i have a nile black one i am going to be doing carbon fiber hood and trunk and was just wondering if they made them im gonna be doing a little weight reduction to comp for my size of a driver lol /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can make them - I need atleast 20 orders and full payment up front. Prototype will take about 360 days to make after I have someone send me their fender. PM me if interested...

EDIT - I am joking. Please do not PM me...

People, I was joking about the CF fender making..Its a long running joke that anything CF related to the GVR-4 has been doomed somehow.

Sorry 651vr4 - I know you are serious, but honestly I cannot even draw fenders, let alone make one! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
