[QUOTE=FLY02]Carbon Fiber is a interlayering of actual carbon fibers and fiberglass. They are coated with resin to give them that shine and protectant. CF is stronger than steel when used in some applications but is extremely brittle when pushed the wrong way.

As far as I know, carbon fiber doesn't necessarily have to have fiber glass in it. I believe it can be, and often is, all carbon fiber, at least in the more expensive applications.
