weight difference?

 

That looks nice...who did the work for you and what was the price?

 

I use the armrest to REST MY ARM, it's nice and soft. Why would you want a hard, CF armrest?

 

Mmmmmmmmmm...sweaty fore arms.

 

Is this real CF or gust a fabric type thing that looks like it?
I guess if ur goin all out CF it might look good

 

they sell those CF pieces for other cars as well. i forget the website, but someone makes a custom piece for your car..
i remember seeing cf armrest for mitsu eclipse.

 

Looks awesome...but defeats the purpose of the armrest

 

Ok, you suck big time.

J/K, keep the CF boys happy.

 

I think it looks good. Not my cup of tea. But I like it

 

I'll buy anything that's lighter . How do i get one.

 

Looks = cool

Reality = Lame and uncomfortable... what's next CF seats? CF headrests? Dumb in my opinion.

 

nice job andy

 

I dont usally say anything about a post like this but , do you go to the movies ? Well i think thats dumb and a waste of money. "Look at ya sitting in a seat for hours just looking at light dance on a screen". My point is ,what would say if someone said that when you came out of the theater?

Each to his own, some people ENJOY DIFFERENT things . That's what americas all about.

 

pictures are not showing.

 

max.org has gone carbon fiber crazy. I probably wouldn't buy it for MY car, but it looks cool.

 

Yep, links don't work anymore.

 

your a retard.........

 

...and you suck at spelling






its "you're"

 

That's funny, cause I work in the film industry... Movies are meant for an escape and release from reality for 2 hours. It has nothing to do with this CF armrest. I said the product was dumb because it makes a comfortable armrest become uncomfortable. Why would you bother replacing soft leather with a hard plastic feeling surface? It's pointless. Your comparison to attending a movie is also pointless seeing as their is no similarity whatsoever...

 

Explain yourself idiot.

 

Hummm....Maybe becuase he likes carbon fiber?


This looks 1000X's better in person.

 

Like your bumper lenses...Hahahahahhahah

And guess what....You can buy a carbon fiber seat.

 

Me no like. How about some carbon fiber rims?????

 

Carbon fiber wheels have been made before. Not sure if it was for production however. I really wonder how strong carbon fiber is though? I do remember a 35mph into wall test on a McLaren F1 shell, where nothing broke.

 

Dude that is clean, how much!

 

fix the pics please, i wanna see..........thanx

 

werd i wanna see too

 

Some carbon fibers have a unidirectional tensile strength of upwards of 600 ksi, twice as much as the strongest steel. But most fiber composites are used in a 60 to 70% fiber volume mix with epoxy, lowering the achievable strength of a unidirectional composite to the low 400's. But that is with the fibers all in one direction. A weave type layup like what you see in most automotive applications results in strengths that are considerable less, maybe around 100 ksi or less. It really depends on how you orient the fibers against expected load paths. Density of most graphite composites is around .06 lb/in^3, about 20% the density of steel and 60% the density of aluminum.

But this is purely academic, since a glove box lid really has no strength requirements.

 

I think Cf is just plain UGLY. But is it saves you a few ounces cool.

 

How Much Slammed!

 

this is a public message forum not an english class. i don't concentrate on grammar and or spelling.

but fact remains "you're" still a retard.


oh by the way thanks for the spell and grammar check bluec.

 

I just want to know what your damn problem is? I posted that I like my armrest soft, after that SLAMMED acknowledged my post and said he wants to CF his whole car and messages like mine didn't bother him. Then out of nowhere you jump out and open your mouth. Read the ****ing thread before saying anything jacko.

 

I've rested my arm on it its nice not uncomfortable at all... its nice

the stock one doesnt have any cushion anyways... its a piece of vinyl with a paper thin piece of foam....

not much different than putting your arm on the door panel

props...

 

looks sporty...great for a carbon fiber enthusiasts.

 

Actually they do have carbon fiber racing seats both for cars and motorcycles. You should probably keep your opinions to yourself if they aren't constructive.

 

well there are lots of opinions here...some more eccentric than others but I am sure many of the same "bad idea " comments were made when the Maxima first got a body kit or supercharger.

Props to TET for continuing to appeal to a "lighter" side of modding the Maxima.
