Default Quick Question - Eyelids

Whats better, FRP or CF??

Either way I go, it's gonna be painted but not sure which is the better way to go :/


Also is this where to get your genuine eyelids from?

CF is quite stiff and FRP i'll assume is a lot softer material, any advantages?

because cf eye lid is 5 grams lighter than an frp eyelid, which is less weight for your engine to carry around which means more horsepower. And the cf weave directs wind upwards helping with downforce. duh
