carbon fiber itself is actually extremely strong, stronger than metal in fact. the part that is weak is the frame of the hood which IS fiberglass. that is why you might have to worry about the hood flying up. the latch is imbedded in fiberglass NOT the carbon fiber.
the reason carbon fiber is so popular is that it is extremely light weight, but still extremely strong. Many Aircraft, race cars, and high end sports cars use carbon fiber for body panels for this reason.
lol carbon fiber, fiberglass, i knew they werent to supportive... and if you have carbon fiber fenders and hood and bumper and such.. dont expect to survive a front end crash
