Thanks! Is the fiberglass lighter than carbon fiber? I'm a newbie but I know what I want. Light as possible and fast. But still able to use it as a daily driver. Don't care if it's all original. I haven't been able to find anywhere that sells the carbon fiber but I've seen a couple of people with it. Thanks Again!!!

Carbon Fiber is lighter (and vastly more expensive) than fiberglass. But considering the minor weight savings vs. the big cost difference, I'd stick with good ol' fiberglass.
