Hey guys, I just bought an acs kit and some splitters from someone on this forum. The splitters I bought are suppose to be carbon fiber and were to be cut and made tomorrow, but the person I bought it from doesn't have enough carbon fiber to make the complete set. So he sent me a pic of Kevlar and gave me some info on it. said that could be another option.. I just wanted to get peoples ideas and thoughts on Kevlar and to see if anyone had any feed back for me.. Go for it or just wait it out for carbon fiber. The guy I bought it from is really helpful and gave me some good info but I just wanted to confirm with others who may have some experience with Kevlar. Thanks

I'm posting this with my phone so I can't post the pics but I will try to put em on tonight.. Thanks

I think Kevlar is stronger & more expensive

what color is your car? Kevlar is cool too, but it has a yellowish color to it instead of the charcoal color of carbon fiber.

Kevlar shouldn't worry you, it is what bullet proof vests are made out of (that and ballistic Nylon) - it is as strong or stronger than CF and, yes, more expensive sometimes.

Kevlar is an overkill for the splitters, but hey, if you can get it for the same money as CF, I say, go for it!
