Is that what i found at Miami Beach yesterday floating around?!?! :D

What material was it? By the picture it doesn't look like carbon fiber, maybe it was cracked already from the drilling/installation.

HyperMKIV 05-10-10 10:02 AM

it's ABS plastic...pretty cheap stuff...
and it wasn't cracked. it's just the way it mounts...at higher speeds, the front of it will start flexing and sooner or later it'll start flapping...depends on how you mount it i guess...

n0th1ng 05-10-10 10:10 AM

CF versions seems to be more thicker than what your picture shows..
but it shouldnt snap like that... :(
