Its not very hard if you just want the CF look.But if you want a light, strong and good fitting part that won't delaminate then it gets pretty difficult.There are lots of things you have to account for, like resin shrinkage, kinds of resin(most won't cure in the presence of oxygen), weave direction, $$$, ambient temps,mechanical properties,etc.And if you do have problems it gets expensive with a quickness.If your making something and you have some questions give me a PM and I'll try to help.Or if others are interested in playing with CF, I can probably do a basic write up pr something too.

LOL!! That was hilarious haha.
ghettostyle- You cant just keep making more and more horsepower... things will give up like the tranny and everything connected to it. Id rather have a light car with less power than a heavy ass car with alot of power... which do you think will be more reliable.
Sorry this is way off topic.
I guess I would still rather have the one with loads of power and some weight. Ones that are gutted would be harder to sell anyhow unless you would sell it as an all out race car. I know I am not going to gut the hell out of my car.
