Jerkratt - I didn't mean to throw stones - my house has a lot of glass....
I just am amazed at the amount of cheap "carbon" crap available, both real and fake, that could so easily be made out of REAL carbon for about the same price.
I was looking at a "carbon" hood the other day - little tiny letters at the bottom said something along the lines of "retains full strength compared to the OEM hood due to having fiberglass under the carbon....."
BS! The carbon is the strong stuff - f'glass is just floppy unless really thick and heavy.
Ah, well... let us know how it turns out.

hahahaha....worked for a company that sold CF shovel/rake/broom handles, they had 4 strands of carbon in with the 150 strands of glass...no way were they stronger, although you might get 'zapped' if you touched an electrical cable!!!!!
