Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber

I met this cool guy he said he can make me a custom fiberglass or carbon fiber intake and I dont know which one to tell him to make. The intake is going to suck the air threw the drvier side lower bumper behind the mesh I guess you would call it. I would love to hear what you guys think I should go with.

Fiberglass. Should be cheaper and maybe more durable.

to make Cf into nice clean piping, youd need a few bends and a few trial pieces before he actually tries to make it out of CF, for some reason, i dont see a project like this, costing you less that $300, and CF isnt the ceapest material in the world, but its your money,

Somehow I have my doubts. There is no way that nothing made out of fiberglass should cost the same as that thing made out of CF.

Guess pics will prove me wrong.

Good luck.
