Which carbon fiber kits should you choose: budget vs premium?

When you get a new supercar, upgrading it wouldn’t be a crazy decision, and if you go down the route of carbon fiber kits, then what’s the better option: budget or premium?

Either way, you’re going to get an aesthetic upgrade to a super-cool custom supercar, but it’s dependent on how much money you want to spend or on the type of materials you want to use.

Lower-cost budget kits won’t break the bank, but you will get a nice new look on your supercar using kits that are typically made from materials like ABS plastic or fiberglass.

Choose a premium carbon fiber kit if you need the high performance of a lightweight, strong, and rigid material, though this comes with a significant cost and potentially higher difficulty for repairs.

Budget kits

If you decide to prioritize your wallet and go for a budget option when it comes to a kit upgrade on your supercar, it might not be a bad thing.

Budget kits are often made from ABS plastic or fibreglass and are much more affordable.

You get a similar high-quality aesthetic for a lot less money, but ABS plastic is durable and offers good impact resistance.

However, budget kits will lack the weight reduction and structural rigidity of real carbon fiber, making it unsuitable for high-performance driving or track applications.

A low-budget kit would be best suited for drivers seeking a primarily visual upgrade and aren’t looking to upgrade performance.

Premium carbon fiber kits

When you go for the high-quality real carbon fiber kits, it offers significant weight reduction for better performance.

Not only do you get better performance, but it also helps to increase structural rigidity and strength, as well as upgrading it aesthetically.

However, the high cost isn’t just associated with the initial price tag; it can also be expensive to repair these kits if they get damaged.

These high-quality kits are best for supercar enthusiasts prioritizing performance, weight savings, and a high-end aesthetic, who have the budget and are willing to accept the associated risks and repair challenges.
