First off, most fiber hoods and the like technically, aren't even made correctly.
Second, most of those cf parts you guys pay $5-600 for aren't even carbon fiber... cf costs $100 a square foot no matter who you are, especially now with a shortage of the stuff. Most of the cf parts on the market today are either fiberglass with an aesthetic cf layer (there is a difference between cf for rigidity and cf for looks), or a colored fiberglass weave on top.
