Pretty easy to tell the difference.
Fibreglass is yellow/cream colour and Carbon fibre is blackish with a tighter weave.
A local glider repair shop has reinforced a CF cowl with fiberglass
Carbon fiber cowlings, anyone interested?

Just as an aside... Someone is working on a Maule mold for carbon cowling. I can't remember if it is Carbon Concepts here in AK but that seems likely. I've been following the thread on Facebook in the Those Who Fly Maules forum.
If it is Carbon Concepts, they do excellent work. It will be interesting to see what the final weight and cost will be.

You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!
