Agreed 100%. An overlay is definitely NOT the way to use CF for any structural purposes.
This is just a hobby as I do love the look of CF. I do know a bit about CF's properties from the few books I read, but probably not enough to design something at Ferrari's level with CF crumple zones and such. Even then, its not going to be at the level of Ferrari simply because I m not going to be using prepreg, freezers and autoclaves.
Eventually, hopefully I'll be able to build a hood that uses CF's structural properties to save some weight. I think the most advance stuff I'll be doing when it gets to the hood is probably infusion. However, for now, its purely cosmetic and would add the weight of CF and resin to the stock part's weight.
Like I said, most useless mod. LOLs.
