So it's YOUR fault! I read that Airbus and Boeing have been buying every bit of CF there is for their new aircraft. Prices for carbon fiber parts have gone through the freaking roof. I have a bunch of carbon on my bikes and what I bought a year ago for $150 is $225 today.
Autoclave dry carbon hoods would cost more than the car, I've seen some Japanese companies do this and the hood were around $3000, for an extra weight savings of 10 pounds, it's just not worth it.
