Is this your 4th thread now where the subject line is your screenname? That does nothing for people searching old threads or even getting the right people to click your current thread.

Default My Apologies - jacking / lifting points

Moike,

I am sorry. I am learning how post threads. My son just taught me what I was doing wrong and I will make sure to have a subject in the subject line.

Cheers,

Default Corvette 2004 Z06 Commerative Body Material

I understand that the hood on the Z06 is composed of carbon fiber. What is the rest of the body made of? Is it fiberglass or a plastic composit?

On the Z16's, (Comm. Ed), the hood is CF, just the hood. The rest is composite. It was the first time, I believe, that CF was part of a regular production car.

Welcome Alz. Don't worry about some of the comments. Rule 1: Put something other than your name in the subject title LOL.
Rule 2: Make sure you search and read up before you post threads to common questions. The search police will bring the heat!

Enjoy.
