What's all the talk about carbon fiber? I think someone mentioned trying to make a bumper out of it? I've owned boats with carbon fiber masts but there is not a single part I would make out of carbon fiber for my Westy unless it was something like a pole for an awning that I wanted to make very light. Carbon fiber is good stuff when you need a combination of strength and light weight but I can't see too many applications for it on a 4000-5000 pound van/bus.
