i think theres a conspiracy going on - i once asked people that were covering a smashed porsche when they loaded it onto a truck what they were doing and they sed that porsche stipulates that a pranged porsche must be hidden away from public as soon as possible - maybe nissan does that as well!

mmm, maybe the truck drivers just overheard someone asking the driver whether his car was "covered" - and they took it the wrong way

sure, in theory it should weigh around the same, BUT for CF you need three layers max, while with fibreglass you would need 5 or more layers and probably more support webbing to get the same rigidity - fibreglass flexes a lot more

The thickness of the fiber glass mat used is going to be different from company to company. I know of some companies that use three layers of fiber glass.
