Steel or Fiber??

[KHShapiro]

as long as its real carbon fiber and vacuumed flat not hand laided and built with supports its going to be amazingly strong , light ,flat and last as long if not longer than steel (if its unpainted make sure the "gel" is UV resistant). the down side is going to be the cost of a truly professionially made piece of of the said CF product and not just some one who bought a roll and decided to make panels in the house with out the proper equipment. ive seen some of these "high" dollar CF hoods and they are a joke . they are waive and a lot of times they try to make up for the waves by adding a lot of gel or epoxy .If your looking for flat, light , strong and have the money to spend for a real CF product its the way to go. if price is an issue steel or aluminum . CF will not warp in the heat, FG will not warp in the heat , Steel and Aluminum will warp in the heat .
