yeah... very dry looking
| thermobox | 04-04-2004 08:37 AM |
yup dry carbon is the hottest ish in japan now. cwest has a full dry carbon s2k, hks has a full dry carbon time attack evo
| WanganRunner | 04-04-2004 11:17 AM |
Didn't the Evo recently beat the S2k's Tsukuba time?
| MAD REX | 04-04-2004 12:18 PM |
ugh
| chopaholix | 04-04-2004 12:31 PM |

You already have an aluminum hood... Won't a CF hood weigh just about the same? Or is this just for cosmetic purposes?
| NC2.5RS | 04-04-2004 03:36 PM |
Really like that hood.
| pittkid333 | 04-04-2004 03:49 PM |
That looks v. good
| lawn boy | 04-04-2004 04:11 PM |
looks like unpainted ABS plastic :lol:
I looooooooove glossy CF, but i'd never sport flat CF unless i drove a race car.
btw- VIS rules! :D

looks like the stock hood when you get a new one...flat black :p
| WuWrx | 04-04-2004 04:24 PM |
very nice
| exhondaguy | 04-04-2004 04:28 PM |
that's a bad pic, theres a 2 page article on the april option2 about the hood. It is glossy just like all the other carbon hoods, not dry like my picture suggests. In comparison here's a pic of the kansai hood on an evo:

dry carbon is not a trend...it's what's been used in real racing for a long time. It's extremely light and strong and will be lighter than your stock hood although not by much...I mean, the stock hood is already very light for production cars.
most dry carbon products dont have clear coats as it is strictly used for racing only...no need to make it purdy.

Subaruist, it's not just the clear coat that makes wet carbon glossy. The thing that makes dry carbon special (better) is that the resin is already impregnated into the weave and doesn't need to be poured like wet carbon does. It costs more but is stronger, more uniform and always lighter.
Cheers,
Joel
p.s. I would have my entire car in dry carbon fiber if I had the money, just like the HKS Altezza lol

"Wet" and "dry" refer to the method of lay-up used in composites.
"Wet" is an inexpensive method to product composite pieces, where fabric is saturated in a resin mixture. No external pressure or heat is required.
"Dry" would refer to using fabrics pre-impregnated with a resin mixture to ensure the most desired fabric to resin ratio. Heat or pressure is applied via oven or autoclave. This method is used in the competitive car (see: F1, Indy) and aerospace industry (see: NASA)
"Wet" and "dry" lay-up methods can look no different from one or another. One obvious way to tell the difference is simply by comparing weight.
