    Body Made In?

    I watched the short video clip of the carbon fiber body, which looks amazing. Yet I noticed that this was in an Asian country. Please tell me this is NOT made in China. Japan, Vietnam, Philippines...that's cool. China...nope.

    Been discussed a lot and maybe a little beat to death. It's China... Haven't heard the name of the company (not that I would recognize it anyway...) but it's supposedly a leading company with the technology, is a major supplier, and all the C-F parts from Factory Five to date have come from there.

    I wonder if the bodies will be toxic like the sheet-rock they exported to the U.S.A. after Hurricanes Katrina & Rita?

    Build It Out Of Fiberglass.

    No China, No Problem!
