I have googled carbon fiber reinforcement but mostly hit concrete reinformencent over buildings.
An idea hit me today. I would like to reinforce my car subframe. Here is picture of a subaru oem subframe.
This one is aftermarket upgraded tubular chromoly subframe

So the question is what is *more?
What rigidity should I expect from laying 3 layers of cf or should I?

Any experience?
Thanks
