Reply to "WTB Carbon fiber hood and decklid"

I started racing with the Candy car in Europe in 2006 or 2007. Back then , the car was equipped with steel hood and steel decklid. After a race in Spa, I remember clearly to see bubbles in the paint of the decklid, just like an omelette when ready to eat ! Or a cooked steak on a BBQ !! ! Because of the engine and exhaust heat. When it cooled down, the paint went back to its place , and it was OK. It was quite impressive though ! I managed to buy a carbon hood and decklid to save weight, and this phenomenon never occured again, probably because the heat dissipates faster through carbon than steel .I have no other explanation. Since then , I met with the owner of a small workshop who now produces carbon and fiberglass decklids for me at more affordable price than the Swedish factory. But it is not finished for a street car. It is aonly a quest for weight saving. However, it could be modified to be adapted for a street car .( fittings, ...) . When I say carbon, I mean real carbon, not fiberglass covered with a carbon look film. The rear decklid weights a little more than two kilos, while the front one is about 1.3 kilos... Talking about a serious diet compared to steel ! Since then, the car flies . See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs4ytQ6GrYc and enjoy !
