That's a good point John. No offense taken. With that said, here's LINK to the material used. Now members will be in the "know" of this cost-effective alternative

Stephen Ramm, the person behind the design and fabrication of the Ramm-Technik headers and exhaust, is actually a carbon fiber specialist. If anything he's better doing that than producing the exhaust stuff. Here's a LINK to his website. Be sure to check out his portfolio and product line up. I've ran the idea the CF roof project with him. If there's enough interest amongst our E60 members I could look into this some more and see what kind of group buy I'll need in order to invest in the project.
