If you think about it, you just said the same thing.

IMO, carbon fiber is killing 2 birds with 1 stone. You are saving weight PLUS enhancing the appearance.

Theyre right, I read up on the 'EG carbon fiber hatch' and after putting in all the locking mechanisms, etc, almost no weight was saved, so it was pretty much worthless for the 400 bucks spent...

I bet this would be about the same...
