So very True.....Most Carbon you see on Pro kits these days are regular SSG composite...So far from real CF its almost not even funny....strength wise they are NOTHING compared to a True CF part...problem is the REAL deal stuff cost's BIG BIG bucks.....so much that it would NOT be cost effective for a Mfg to even think about using it for a production part.

I got access to some One of a Kind CF-18 aka F-18 grade CF from Boeing(scraps from the new Boeing 787) that i can have laid up in w/e config i want as far as thickness and i have a buddy in the US who cuts stuff.....His name is Shawn and his company is Advance Custom Engineering or ACE for short....he does A lot of Hotbodies stuff for the guys and has some Pretty Fancy Alum parts for sale...when my CF is in season he has parts.....currently waiting.

ANY composite question's i can answer and if I Cant...I know some one who can.
