PRICES OF CARBON FIBER QUADRUPLES!

Prices for carbon fiber now run as high as $20 a pound, compared with as little as $5 a pound three or four years ago, says Mike Musselman, managing editor of High Performance Composites magazine. Spot shortages have developed, too. Carbon fiber manufacturers are boosting production, but it may be another year before all the new lines are running.

So does this mean that aftermarket parts and cars made utilizing the superior, lightweight weave will go up in price? Probably so.
