Ok thanks dude! Now what do you just think of carbon fiber parts?

Everything I have read about cf parts is that they are stiffer but also break easier. More for racing than bashing. I dont have any firsthand experience with them - since I dont race I dont buy the cf stuff. Could be wrong and I'm sure somebody else can correct me if I'm wrong. Just my .02

Hmmm yeah that's what i was thinking. But it's cool looking LOL. But I'm trying to think how i can make the front shock tower strong.

I don't know if this is feasible for the LX (it is for some cars, not for others), but what some do for bashing, is take the stock stamped towers and ADD the carbon fiber tower, with the stamped item still behind it (may need longer screws). The two materials between them, have strength in any conceivable direction of force. The alloy very resistant to breaking and the carbon very resistant to bending. Of course the disadvantage to that is that if you DO stack it really hard, you destroy two towers instead of one. lol. It would have to be a big hit though.

Hmmm. I'll have to look into that! Now what about the stock tower with that Carbon one in front of it?

The theory is sound, I've not done it, mainly because I don't crash. But I've seen others do it. It's just an option, not a recommendation.
