I won't lie to you, I don't know much about carbon fiber besides the fact that it is extremly strong for its weight. Reminds me of myself actually. Sorry, I'll stop.
From carbon fiber violins to $15,000 front doors, check out all the carbon fiber finds that might be pricey, but are definitely worth the time and money.
Implications - The use of carbon fiber has definitely shifted, with the material being used for more than just super-fast sports cars. This list shows that it has many uses and can even be used on running shoes and fighting helmets. The lightweight material is definitely being explored and we will surely see a lot more carbon fiber items in the near future.
