The kind of CF work that is used in planes is not quite the same as in the Auto Industry, Especially when making CF sub-frame pieces and such. The pieces would look more like the CF drive-shafts of the Z. It won't look pretty with all the weave and crazy patterns. Some pieces will look like that but some parts are Carbon Fiber yet don't even look like what most of us are used to. Just look under your Z and you'll see what I'm talking about. Carbon can be used in different applications but what I mentioned is most common in the Automotive Industry. I'm working on a thread to help everyone out and learn about CF and hopefully i'll be done this week with it. Hopefully it will help many of the buyers get educated on what they are buying.
