Lighten Up!

How many times have you heard someone tell you that? Well now you are hearing it again, except this time we are talking to your Mustang!

Reducing the curb weight of your car is an excellent way to increase the performance of your Mustang, and also a great way to get better fuel economy (for those that care about such things!) One of the best ways to do this is by replacing some of the stock steel parts with high-performance carbon fiber parts.


One of the biggest parts on your Mustang GT that you can replace to make a big dent in weight is the hood. At Bangastang we highly recommend you replace your stock heavyweight with a very light and very cool Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood from Trufiber. These hoods are very lightweight, will really help your need for ‘go-fast’ and they look beautiful! What could be better than something that makes your car look cool AND go faster?

These are truly a bolt on replacement. All holes match the factory hood, so all  you will need is:

  1. Some basic hand tools.
  2. Someone you trust to hold the other end while you bolt in on.
  3. About 15 - 20 minutes to install hood pins.
BINGO your Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood is installed. That's it. Now you have to spend the rest of the day driving around so people will notice “all the hard work” you put into your Mustang GT.

If you are a Show Car guy then look into the special option of having a carbon Fiber underside on your Trufiber Hood. Looks exceptionally cool and is bound to impress even the pickiest of Judges at your next event.

Carbon Fiber or carbon fiber?

OK, I have to admit, I think carbon fiber looks too cool. The futuristic way it shines in sunlight on a nice afternoon drive or in streetlights in a parking lot on a beer run - it just looks cool! The more carbon fiber mustang parts I see the cooler I think they are. 


As a result a lot of people out there started producing Carbon Fiber Mustang Parts. The problem is, and this problem exists in all things, there are widely varying levels of quality. I mean there is carbon fiber and then there is Carbon Fiber!  So how do you know, from a picture on a website, if you are getting carbon fiber or Carbon Fiber? 


News Flash: Price means nothing! I have seen crap priced just as high as the good stuff. So then we are back to how can you tell? The sad truth is you really can’t. That is where my buddy Hendrix at Bangastang comes in. He reviews every one of the carbon fiber mustang parts that he sells and I can guarantee you this one thing:


If he wouldn’t put it on HIS car, he will not sell it on HIS website - period!


This statement says a great deal. Have you SEEN his car? Have you SEEN any of the work he has done on anyone's car? If you have then you are fully aware of the weight of that statement.


So you can order a Carbon Fiber Roof Cover right now that is of the best quality and know it will absolutely fit. You can order a Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood and KNOW it is a simple bolt on replacement that looks and fits perfectly!  Why? Because Hendrix said it would! 


Best part is if you have any questions on a part, how it attaches or installs, just give Bangastang a call and they will give you all the info you need.
