LOL!! i guess it might be a preference but id say there's never enough carbon fiber, hell if i could take any body part and have it carbon fiber i most certainly would..who wouldnt want to lose tons of weight and look good doing it...

if cf wasn't safe y whould they use it on f1 cars that have the toughest crash standards in all of motorsports. it just depends who makes it and how many layers it is

I would make the whole world out of cf. cf cars, cf planes, and cf houses

pretty much the whole body is CF or a composite of it...also, many of the suspension pieces like linkage, are also CF...
