I wanted to post for all of you to see that it's not just ViS bull-ishing people.
There is a shortage of Carbon Fiber due to production of new planes.

Look on the far right column.

Prices are going to go up, so if someone here is real smart, i'd buy all CF CHEAP CHEAP, then sell when prices are high for profits...wont be a HUGE profit, but if you got the time + resources, you can prob make some good money.

but they don't...they fall apart any under pressure.

Honestly i dont know how much heat one planes to have dissipating out of the hood to where the vent can actually BREAK apart the hood.
the 1-3extra lbs from being overlaid opposed to the 2X price tag i feel is worth it.

if making suspension components(formula one style) or planes, then i can see the need. btw, don't places combine CF w/ something else to make it more resistance to shear?(might be stress)
