In my case at least it has nothing to do with the CF. I dont think it looks that tacky(althought I would have to see it in person) I just didn't think it would actually work...and until now no one has said that it did. Now that a few people have said it works I *might consider it. Still, a $100 *kinda fix for a problem that only takes $3 in epoxy and a couple of clamps to fix seems a little overkill.
Most people get pissed when something on their Z breaks...I see it as an opportunity to upgrade!
