Carbon Fiber Shock Shields

[Johngm45]

HUGE difference huh? From a piece of plastic to CF? You have a skewed definition of huge apparently...

Pardon me Professor Drip. It was late! A significant difference !

A big difference in weight between materials is fine, but effective weight reduction on a 3 ton vehicle? That is a different story.

I still like the look of the hood vent, but too many dirhams.

I'm shocked there isnt CF driveshaft available. My Montero had them and thats no where in the same league as a raptor

I would only consider carbon fiber parts for its strength benefits. The Raptor is too heavy for the weight benefits to be worth the cost. So far everything I've seen is trim parts and gain nothing by being stronger. Fenders and bedsides might be the only exception, but unless you've spent some money on the suspension first, it's pointless. I also personally hate the look of bare carbon fiber. It looks unfinished. I feel like exposed carbon fiber is trim is too ricer. It's the modern equivalent of neon under body lights or clear taillights.

Also does anyone know if a carbon fiber stubby would work? It would pair nicely with the carbon fiber antenna base I saw somewhere and together they would have to save at least a few pounds.

I'm waiting on the carbon fiber push-to-start button that will save me .04 ounces.

Do you guys think maybe they would also be able to increase travel?

This is definitely the best part of this post......

I'd like one of all the things in this thread for my Raptor. It is currently 28.6 ounces too heavy and I feel like this would really get the weight and balance correct for sending it over starbucks islands.
