only downside is CF is way more expensive. . .and its actually heavier. If you wanted to do the chassis CF is the way to go but for body FG I would recommend some form of very resilient paint lol. FG is as light as it comes and since body panels don't support weight. . .

Yeah. . .rocks are the bane of composites. . .or at least CF and FG. I'm still looking for something thats a much thicker paint that might be able to dissipate rock impact energy. . .
