Default Carbon Fiber Fairings?

Whats the difference between carbon fiber and plastic? the carbon fiber seem to be a bunch cheaper, is it just cause they look carbon-fibery instead of glossy that they are cheaper?

Usually CF stuff is more expensive than plastic. Are you sure CF is cheaper. There is fake CF also ansome companies like Puig try to sell it for the real CF prices.

Real Carbon Fiber looks 3D and the fake carbon fiber looks just like a black and gunmetal checker board.

lower right fairing, mid right fairing, and tail section in black for an 06 636. my friend and i bought our bikes at the same time and when we were riding the other day some idiot slammed on his breaks then swerved into our lane not seeing him, my friend breaked instead of swerving and clipped the back of the guys car with his tire. his bikes all scratched up but hes perfectly fine, just a few bruses. i saw the whole thing happen and after i made sure my friend was ok was about ready to kill the guy.
