And actually not that good now. Lighting technology has moved on a pace. Even 8 years ago I had built a mock up using 4 projector spots that was going to be lighter...

If its carbon fibre backed with csm (chopped strand matting) and is of course wet lay up, no weight saving at all, very little strength added, but does look better.
Only time carbon is lighter/stronger is when its vacuum resisn infused or pre-preg.
You could argue about the weight/strength when using expoxy, but its still wet lay up.
For me, grp is alot cheaper, nearly same weight, nearly as strong.
