That's because most of them aren't pure carbon fiber. A majority (unless you spend a few grand for dry pops) are carbon skins over a frame of some other material. Gives you the look and feel of a 'race part' at a cheaper price but not all the weight savings. Also our factory metal parts are incredibly light to begin with.
