Car: MY07 G11 WRX-TR WRB. Rep Power: 85   |  Want to decrease weight in cars? Malaysia might be onto something that will revolutionize the automotive market as far as weight saving Body panels may go...Scientists in malaysia have found out that carbon fiber is not the answer when it comes to lowering the weight on cars, carbon fiber is big, bulky, and another downfall on true carbon fiber is if the finish is not 100% perfect, the fibers will catch the air flowing over the bodylines thus far slowing the car down alot! With that in mind here is the Newest form of racing panels available to the public "Although crash testing has not been officially finished"...these panels also cool the car off immensly making less overheating issues in both the cars motors and your bodys motor "Unless your stuck in afternoon traffic in 100 degree weather"

Car: 2004 Chrysler PT Turbo; 1985 Toyota 4Runner Rep Power: 38 |  They should have painted the bars though. Red. White/Gray just blends in and looks bland.
