Iceter is interested. Would prefer fiberglass but could live with carbon fiber.

Curious, but wouldn't carbon fiber be more durable vs. fiberglass? Is the preference of fiberglass over carbon fiber specifically attributable to cost savings?

Yes, carbon fiber is more durable. The owner Steve also mentioned that to me as well.

Yes, using fiberglass to bring down the costs.

And carbon fibre looks great & does not necessarily need refinishing!

I like the look of this one when it's down... but isn't the lip on the flying ducktail we're discussing lower in profile, comparatively to this?

I think it's the same ducktail. Maybe its the angle of the pictures of the black car that's the profile look higher.
