You are one sick puppy. Don't you know that all that carbon fiber has a kill date of June 1, 2019? When you wake up on June 2nd every single carbon fiber part will have turned into bright chrome.
No your wrong. On that date the Carbon Fiber stars to grow and encompasses the whole car. Here’s your all Cabon fiber
car.
Are these really just carbon fiber stickers over various car parts? Or, are they actual 100% carbon fiber, as the C7 engine compartment hood in fact is..
Thanks....that's what I was going for with this car. Actually, classy but still aggressive!

Joe, many of my pieces are pure Carbon Fiber. There are other parts that are OEM pieces with a Carbon Fiber overlay. GM also does this exact same thing. I spoke to someone on the Corvette team at last year's birthday bash-he told me that.
The engine bay is all Hydro Carbon Fiber from RPI Designs. When I first started modding my engine bay 5 years ago, no one made true Carbon Fiber pieces then. Now they do, but I've invested too much in the engine bay to switch over to true Carbon Fiber. It looks good-I'm fine with it being Hydro Carbon Fiber......

OK, so is it a weight savings exercise, appearance feature desired, or both?
..The Chevrolet dealer sales rep at the dealer near me emphasized carbon fiber's light weight on the C7's engine compartment hood. The aesthetics, are a separate issue.
