hahaha.. LMFAO.. :lol:okay, so i'm probably gonna get joked some more but i know there are people wondering the same thing. Is there really different qualities of carbon fiber. I thought carbon fiber is just when you buy a large sheet of it and stick it on whatever you want carbon fibered.

OMG it has VTEC?
I got almost 7 horse power by putting shockers on my car I can only imagine if they were carbon fiber, like 17 horse power

Ok stop beatin up on him/her!! Lol! NO you cannot gain any hp from using carbon fiber. Instead of stickin carbon fiber onto a surface, you usually replace that surface with a similar carbon fiber piece. For example, you could replace a stock aluminum or whatever hood with a carbon fiber hood. Doing that helps you drop the overall weight of a car. Aside from that you gain absolutely no hp, it just looks cool if done right and saves weight. That's why everyone is messin wit ya cuz whoever told you that was bustin ya. SO go fuk em up for gettin you embarrassed!!

so if you havent picked up yet RoadRageTeg ..everyone here is a dick lol
or we just like to pick on the new guys
so i guess il educate you now. horsepower comes from the engine basically, so anything you modify in the engine or connected to the engine(air intake, exhaust, etc) will increase hp if its more benificial for the engine. for example: a cold air intake will let the engine breathe colder air thus increasing horsepower. thats how you gain hp in a nutshell
carbon fiber pieces(not stickers that look carbon fiber) are designed to be durable like whatever piece its replacing but it weighs less which will make your car weigh less. its like you carrying a 50 pound rock and you trade it for a similar rock in size that weighs 20 pounds instead. so you wont gain hp but your car will be a little lighter making you a little faster..get it?
stickers are like if you put a sticker on a coloring book. its just for looks..unless its the VTEC sticker that ACBrand was talking about then you might gain 30 hp lol
hope this helped
