Seibon's products are made of pseudo-carbon fiber. For instance, their so called CF hoods are nothing more than a few layers of carbon sheets on fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). As such, their hoods are just a small fraction lighter than the fiberglass, and barely stronger than the FRP itself. Fake carbon-fiber products are for aesthetics than functional.

What I want is the real thing. Hoods, fenders, trunks, door panels, etc. made carefully from nothing but aerospace-quality optimum compact low void carbon-fiber. The real things are expected to cost anywhere from five to eight times the price of fake ones.
