Carbon Fiber

These parts are functional carbon fiber parts, not shiny carbon fiber parts like I think you are looking for.

That's the main difference here. The "import" carbon fiber parts you see are usually done for looks. In the Mustang world, CF parts are rare due to the "dislike" of them on a street car. The only CF parts you'll find are for race-cars and designed to be functional, and do not look very appealing at all.

Secondly, they aren't really for street cars. If you put carbon fiber parts all over your car...and then get hit by a car out on the street....you are gonna get seriously hurt. These race-car components assume that the car is pretty much a strip only car with a cage and other safety equipment.

CF for street 87-93 Mustangs is rare and pretty much non-existant in terms of eye-appeal.

It may be cheaper in fact to reduce weight through traditional means such as a K-member, fiberglass hood or Aluminum heads and help achieve 50/50 weight distribution. That would be a more effective weight loss strategy as you'll shave pounds off, and gain HP and total cost might even be cheaper than the cost of CF plus paint
