Opportunity to get some carbon fibre front wings for the corrado has popped up. Not cheap. Obviously thats a negative.

I mainly want them as they won't rust and its hard to find decent metal.

Just looking for any bad things I might not of thought about? Do they last a long time? Seen old fibreglass looking crappy. Would probably paint them but is also a bonnet tailgate and a few other bits of trim you can get. Could vinyl wrap the rest and have a black roof.

Do large panels of it flex like a metal bonnet if you push it?

They don't flex if it's decent carbon. Just make sure it's not skinned. Fitment can be a bit off.
