lol you joke, but from my experience carbon fiber comes in two varieties: expensive and ungodly expensive lmao. The pre preg stuff that has resin already in the material is what I consider the ungodly expensive stuff, and the dry stuff that's intended for wet layup is STILL pretty expensive. Fiberglass is so good nowadays itll get you like, 90% of the way there at like 1/10 of the cost. Fiberglass parts can be every bit as strong as the carbon ones, though obviously the diff comes in the weight, which is still pretty close between the two.

Always makes me scratch my head when I'm making a part or see a part made outta carbon where the application is not weight-critical. Which happens a lot more often than I thought would be the case. Then, even funnier, is when the part is half-assed and they end up using more resin and not even gaining any weight savings from the material.
