actually a majority of the weight is the resin. Most 'carbon fiber' products have a thick gell coat on the outside to make them shiney and the fabric is soaked with resin inside... in reality, it takes surpisingly little resin to make carbon fiber, or other similar woven materials reach peak strength. My composites subsontractor uses a resin transfer process which generally produces parts with the correct ratio... but you are correct, a lot of 'carbon fiber' products have something other than carbon fiber as the main medium, generally fiberglass, or worse yet, chop glass (talk about stepping backwards).
