saw this on ebay surely carbon is normally made in a weave hence its strength, also selling cf bonnets which apparently retail at £200 each, i think not.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mini-carbon-dashboar...1QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah looks like grp to me. Someone trying to pull the wool over someones eyes!

Carbon doesn't always come in a weave to give its strength though, the strands need to be arranged in the direction the strength is required, for most body panels strength is required in all directions hence the woven matting.
