And you posted this in the S2000 forum, why?

Fiberglass will probably break before carbon fiber. Neither one are a SUPER strong material. If you want something that's lightweight, and pretty strong, carbon-kevlar is that way to go. Of course, it depends on what it's for.

Although, the ne CF helmets for the F1 are pretty amazing!

fitment is entirely different. it all depends on 1) purpose and 2) checkbook. and regarding #1, it could even be for your street-going flair, but usability in terms of where it is going comes to mind.

first of all, read up, and I do mean read up before hearsay gets the best of you. there are many advantages and disadvantages of the two. but basically, CF will be lighter and much more expensive.

what is it that you are going to dope up with cf, yo?
