Because there are shortages in supply. Gotta compete with the aerospace industry.

They sell CF vinyl. You could try it with vinyl first. If you don't like it you can peel it off.

The ones I got did not have a smooth gel-coat surface. I used an entire can of clear coat to improve the finish, but I would prefer ones that are totally smooth on the surface.

So some research and you'll learn why the "real thing" is expensive, making the fake stuff so popular.
