absolutely not.

and fiberglass is not the "same stuff" as carbon fiber. same principle, entirely different material. thats like saying plastic and metal are the same thing cuz theyre shaped the same or used the same way...they are NOT.

CF is much lighter than Fiberglass, any boat owners also know that fibreglass tends to be much heavier than aL or sometimes even steel.

paint your CF hood, youre proly looking at maybe a lb in paint at most. The thing that will cost you the most lbs is filler, if you need to bondo the pattern out you might as well go with fiberglass, because the weight increase will be rediculous.
