Yeah, plain weave is used mostly in the racing world. It's cheaper and easier to mold, so most of the aero parts get made out of it. They end up painting over them anyway, so the appearance is not an issue. The 2x2 twill weave has a much nicer appearance, but isn't quite as moldable as plain weave. There are other weaves, such as a satin weave (I think Farhan's wing is made with this kind of weave), and you can even get a 4x4 twill, which doesn't look as good IMHO.

carbon fiber
I was not flaming on you at all your parts look great, in fact you should contact 7parts about selling your products (i am sure Jeff will sell them for you as you can tell he loves carbon fiber).. But I don't think there is anything cheeze about his 7, it is the sickest 7 ever (and it won nationals this year too)...
