Yep, all sitting in a polymer matrix... You could probably join something on using an epoxy resin adhesive then blend in, you'd need to paint it all obviously...

you could, but youd have half paint it, so that the fibreglass is covered, but the carbon isnt if you want to show it off.

im sure you can buy ready done carbon bad boys tho

Its just that ive seen one on ebay for £300 and was pretty tempted. I only want it to save a bit of weight really, the car will be heavy enough as it is! Plus it would look good with the bonnet up at shows if you can see the carbon underneath. Anyone seen bad boy ones around anywhere then?
