I've never seen that vid, kind of boring IMO (thanks for posting it nonetheless ), but I was hoping for more action vids.
The reason for all the CF was to lighten up that pig. The hood, top, rear, wheels, and others that I've since forgotten. So, the CF was needed. I don't like the look of CF either and if I did happen to buy a CF hood, it would be painted to match the body color. I definitely wouldn't put tacky CF stickers anywhere on my car just to match real CF products. CF today is like neon lighting of yesterday IMO.
It's a really sweet concept (which is a real drivable car btw), but if that RAE was produced, it would take sales from the EVO really fast (no pun intended). Not that the EVO is a "settle for" performance car, but most performance enthusiasts like 2drs over 4. I like both, but y'all know there are 4dr haters out there.
I'm sure those rims are lightweight composite with CF on top. If they weren't, they must be really, really, really strong. All it would take is one pothole, curb, or even an unseen object the height of a flip flop to compress those rubber bands and crack or break those rims into pieces. CF is strong, but not that strong at highway speeds.

 

yea i have thought about that... i wouldnt put them on a a car that i drove every day it would just be cool to say i had them lol. it is a boring vid but it gives you a good walkaround for the ppl who have never seen the car before, only heard of it.

 

CF is the **** imo! It is nice looking and is EXTREAMLY strong! You can dent it or bend it, **** you can hit it with a hammer without hurting it. lol
