Message	Like everything, there are different grades. Good glass fibers are better in ways than cheap carbon fibers. Cheap carbon fibers cost more than good glass. Both are much better than the alternative. I do agree... on average carbon is better, but not by a landslide. The problem is that on the internet, super un-obtainium fiber strength numbers get brought into the mix. Some carbon fibers and 5x stronger than others and some are 5x stiffer. Often those fibers have a 6 month lead time and can cost thousands of dollars per pound. Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf. My new meatloaf.... 1994 Black Honda Civic DX :D what? It looks a little stumpy, but fits great in the hand! (n/m) - ZEngineer 12/12/06
