This enthusiasm for amber frp is interesting...
Are you guys saying amber fiberglass as in, not painted, but amber showing on the outside surface?
Once a mold is made the sky is the limit... and a fiberglass part made with the infusion process can be impressively light even if it gives up stiffness compared to carbon. Getting the right amber hue will require experimentation as it was a result of UV damage and heat in the old days - the modern epoxy suffers much less in this regard so would have to be dyed.
As for carbon, the endless options for weave orientation and seams and v-weave, etc. will probably drive me insane!
