Carbon quarter panels
Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted, n longer have my 964rs race car but currently looking at a 964 turbo which needs new quarters. Do you know where supplies them in carbon? (New project is going to be lightweight)

Don't be at all surprised if whatever aftermarket parts you do manage to find in carbon weigh the same as the equivalent in fiberglass. That was my experience with rear wings. Everyone was still doing hand layup and fiber selection was strictly cosmetic. There was no optimization of orientation or thickness or resin or ???, just a one-for-one swap from glass to carbon.
