Carbon fiber shortage?
Has any one else heard about a world wide shortage of C.F.? The buzz around town says there is.

it is true, but I've order carbon fiber 6 months ago and they said the same thing to me. Stop looking at the wrong places. Talk to apr performance I'm sure they can get you something custom done.

The CF shortage is due mainly to increased military spending:
