The build process is virtuously the same . The higher costs are directly related to CF per yard higher costs and associated components.

CF will produce a lighter part and much stiffer over E-glass ,of course. Plus ...paint, primer has its own associated weight increase's.Whereas a Cf part will only have an added clearcoat to ward off UV rays.
