What did you mean by it won't last very long? Will the fibers start coming off?

Also what is the weight difference between the carbon and the aluminum roof?

My last question is, I talked about on this forum about carbon engine hoods. Someone said that sometimes companies don't use "100%" carbon fiber and it's a fiber glass hood with some carbon fiber sheet overlay or something to that nature.

also, not lasting long is just the way it could have been made.

not a big difference in weight from aluminum and CF...but there is a savings none the less.

i've heard of fiberglass with CF wrapped on it too.
