Pathfinder R51 Carbon Fiber?

[k1s240z]

Well finally picked my 11 pathfinder. I was looking to possibly create some carbon fiber pieces for it this winter. Now my question is, is there a demand for this, or any suggestions on what would like to be seen.

i would really appreciate some input. and certainly keep it updated with my progress.

I think you're the first to mention carbon fiber for Pathfinders.

carbon fiber hood scoop might look cool, right above the air cleaner. But then, it's not a racecar.

I be always liked the look of carbon fiber. Bur clearly its nonexistent for the pathfinder, bout tine someone did something bout it.

Unless you're thinking about replacing the interior trim with CF type pieces, not sure if making parts to actually reduce the weight of the truck is worth while.

Just my .02

Why bother with this stuff? There is no gain aside from appearance on this heavy rig. it wont make it much lighter in order to go any faster. In that case you can do vinyl wrap for parts you want to make look like CF.
But again, we all have our preferences. I think if there is no functional benefit of modding something - its waste of money.

IMHO.

if it doesn't make it go faster or stop quicker or corner on two wheels, why bother?

[k1s240z]

I still think it would make it lighter. And lighter weight would make a differenc. For example . Typical oem hood 50lbs, typical cf. hood 9lbs. That alone is a savings of 41lbs. Plus the fact there no carbon fiver parts made for style pathfinder really intrigues me to be one of the first. Also thinking flared fenders, lighter and shooting for more of an off road look. I feel there would be enough of a benefit in trying it. Anyone else see it that way?

i think with carbon fiber parts i can beat up on other pathfinders

Are considering making a batch of hoods or fenders or whatever if there is enough interest? Or are you just kicking around the idea of making some one-off carbon fiber parts for your truck? There's a lot of work to create molds and lay up the carbon fiber. Do you have experience working with carbon fiber? Just some things to consider. Now if you're talking about overlaying some interior parts with carbon fiber that shouldn't be too hard.

[k1s240z]

Worked around it before but mostly kicking around the idea. Ya know is this people want or am I just crazy and out of ones mind to consider doing this. Plus ya know if the molds are there. Sure o could delicate the work.

I guess your best way of marketing this CF idea is the fact that it would make it easier to craw; but then again, once again I've never heard of CF applications to OR vehicles.
