this must be for a serious track car huh?
fibreglass is fibres of glass, eiher chopped or woven. usually clear/white in colour.
carbon fibre is fibres of carbon, usually woven black in colour.
kevlar is fibres of kevlar, usually woven and yellow in colour.
they are all just reinforcing fibres in a resin or plastic matrix.
they have different properties w/r strength, fatigue, how much they can bend etc etc....
what properties are you after?
what to look for?? it's basically what can you afford... the higher the quality, the higher the cost, but a higher cost does not always indicate a better quality product.
