has anyone built a all carbon fibered body s2000? I keep seeing carbon parts and relized if you had like 15 grand to spend on carbon fiber you could do the whole exterior.

 

Except the rear quarter panel because its attached to the body permanently......

Also, if I had an extra 15k to spend. I probably would have just:
A) bought a used elise
B) Do some hookers and blow

 

 

You beat me to it lol, that car was featured in Super Street a few months ago.

 

meh... its not ALL carbon fiber - i see the rear quarters are stock =/
any s2ks with ALL carbon???

lol... thats SICK!
I wonder what the weight savings are! Any1 care to guess?

 

He answered your question up top the rear isn't because it's structually part of the car.

 

No wonder my previous S was totaled out when that panel was damaged along with suspension damage. Didn't know about the permanent attachment.

How much of a weight reduction was it for that S with the carbon fiber panels? He probably gained it all back in stickers... Looks nice though

 

the rear quarter panel is part of the chassis frame... removing it for CF is asking for the car to fall apart...

That Cwest Race car pic that i posted is probably one of the lightest S2000s out there.. and 15k would only get you 2 doors and a hardtop

 

You can always try this..

 

As I recall those who have done serious CF replacements were disappointed in the weight save. The removable panels are pretty damn light. The weight is in the chassis stiffening since it is a roadster.
