Carbon fiber or Kevlar, which one better?

[civic@938]

wanted to get a light weight hood for my EK, anyone know what's the different between Kevlar material and Carbon Fiber material?

which one is better that's the most important...

Thanks everyone, happy CNY!

 

[SataniC]

obviously carbon kevlar is much better...stronger and lighter than CF...but price wise...almost double of normal CF...

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

yep... satanic has a customized flexible kevlar underpants... courtesy of racecraft..

 

[mynnDAWG]

but between the two..the harder to maintain is Kevlar as it will tend to change color if u dont treat them properly!...

CF also changes color if u get those low grade ones!

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

my kevlarhood still d same wor

 

[gtmaniac]

carbon kevlar.. bullet-proof?:retarded:

Good stuff always goes well with the price.

 

[civic@938]

erm...Kevlar is obviously very expensive compared to carbon...but i like the design of Carbon leh...Kevlar tend to be a bit Greenish...

Anyway thanks for the opinion everyone...

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

ahaahha.. dude... i agree with u.. greenish or reddish... dunno y don have blacks...

 

[SataniC]

cos if black ppl say its carbon and the fella trying to con you maa...hahahaha...ok wat black car with yellow hood...contrast...takkan black car with black hood...tak nampak oi....actually any brand of cf can change colour given enuff hot heat time to cook it...even my friend's original varis discoloured near the extractor area....

 

[HanafyEG]

yeah man..discoloured because of the heat wave from the exhaust manifold..damn

 

[civic@938]

wah...is it really discoloured due to the heat of extractor ar? my gosh...then don know should get the carbon or not liao...hehehe

got one deal selling me at RM1280..don know expensive or not that fellow tell me that price is a hood without "tulang" one...with "tulang" one is RM1800++...

any idea everyone?

 

[HanafyEG]

no..if your's NA nothing to worry, the extractors do not produce so much heat compare to turbo manifold..mine is turbo manifold..that's why discoloured..

 

[civic@938]

no..if your's NA nothing to worry, the extractors do not produce so much heat compare to turbo manifold..mine is turbo manifold..that's why discoloured..

icic...guess i'll get a carbon hood soon...kekeke
