Regarding the CFRP, any benefits other than aesthetic? Stiffer, lighter, etc?

Here you can see the CFRP to the left and PETG ones to the right, however we're using ASA mostly (ASA and PETG are very similar). The CFRP has more of a satin look to it, PETG is shiny and ASA is somewhere in the middle. The CFRP are much stiffer if made at the same weight or they can be made equally stiff but less weight. The regular ones are good enough I think, but some people want something extra so we're offering that option. The CFRP needs a diamond nozzle in the printer to prevent wear $$$. The brake shield funnels below the CFRP ones are 10% lighter but a lot stiffer, but they are very light either way.
