Carbon Fiber and coollllddd weather

tommay248 · 09-24-2008, 06:51 PM

Hey guys, Just wondering, how does carbon fiber hold up in the winter? I live in CT and the winters are pretty bad.. I currently am in the process of gettin a Reiger CF trunk from Biturbo and am curious. I talked to a guy today at work who said he had a carbon fiber hood on his nissan or some shit and it was bitterly cold one day and a rock hit his hood and it just cracked... does anyone have any stories? input? comments? thanks ahead of time

I think a CF trunk will hold up, unless you close it real hard when it's freazing.
I have a VRS CF trunk and located in Boston...nuff said

CF will hold up under cold conditions no problem. Just make sure to properly protect it like the rest of your car with a clear coat and wax.
