Well, I bought one. And I must say; I'm impressed.
It's light, pretty much aesthetically flawless, and it only cost me $350.

It's probably not 100% CF; but heck, I sure can't tell by looking at it.

350 bucks seems way too cheap for such a huge slab of CF. I get my CF direct from a manufacturer, and a sheet that size in 4mm would be at least 4x that. I'd be curious to see a cross section of that one...

Exactly. That's the difference in price between real and fake CF.
Glad these guys are happy with their wings, but comeon - I thought fake CF wings were reserved for the Fast-n-Furious Honda types...
