I guess I just do not get it. What's the fascination with carbon fiber? I am an engineer, and we use it for structural components, but not for its aesthetic properties.

True, but CF is now used for a lot of reasons for aesthetics. I've got a carbon fiber rollerball, a watch with carbon fiber dial and other bits and pieces. Don't get hung up on the structural side. Unless you are in Formula One or other specialty industry it doesn't make sense, it's just for show.

What's a rollerball? Roll Bar? Typo? Yes, I am in a specialty industry.
