We all get sucked into the vortex of carbon composite "awe." Showing the natural weave with a clearcoat looks dead sexy, and it does weigh somewhat less. About 20-30% per same density. But we're talking a body shell that in fiberglass form can already be lifted by 1-2 people. Much like working with Titanium, carbon/kevlar is more expensive to produce than E or S glass.
Be warned there are companies out there selling you myths about Carbon Fiber parts being some 70%+ lighter. Ones that claim going from a regular Corvette shell to carbon will save crazy amounts of weight. It won't, just bragging rights mostly. The old C4 vettes could shave 55lbs by using a Carbon hood, but heck the hood was almost 1/2 the body area.
My two wooden pennies or nickels.
