This thing doesn't really save much weight because the original part doesn't weigh much as it is, does nothing for more power or help it get to the ground, does nothing for aerodynamics, it won't help you get better traction, steering or feel, and looks is already questionable... and the fact that it cost you a good dime just makes it worse...
But don't worry, I was huge a cf ***** with my old Civic hatch, but I had it the other way around... everything but the gas cap was cf...

Thanks for the feedback back Don. It's obviously for the look and I don't think anybody round here has tried it, so I'm gonna give it a shot and see if it works with my current set-up. I agree that this won't help much with traction or steering, although I deed notice a slight pull to the right under load at about 4k in 3rd gear (after the install). I think i may need to rebalance or get alignment now
