Default J's Racing Proucts

So I am getting mixed opinions from the folks at N1 Concepts and those who have actually applied CFRP and FRP. The question stands...Is J's Racing carbon fiber truly more durable than FRP??? I am leaning towards FRP as it seems CFRP is more brittle/less forgiving

Yea CFRP wont be able to take as much damage.

Although i love J, his recent hit and run is a little disturbing, think he should offer a discount to all drivers.

FRP if you are tracking it it would be horrible to spend all the extra money on carbon just to trash it... so you won't feel so bad to push it a little harder to gain that extra half a second!

I agree with both previous posts. While CFRP may indeed look, what's the word? Oh, AWESOME. It is indeed almost impossible to repair if something minor were to happen and the weave was broken. If you went with FRP or, in this case, our Duraflex brand, minor damage is easily remedied using strips of fiberglass and epoxy resin to set the repair.

So you know, we offer some parts that are very similar to the Js product.

Is this from personal experience? If so, did you purchase directly through us or did you purchase through one of our many wholesale distributers?
