Stiff, lightweight composite materials that include a Class A surface finish as well as methods of making these composites and articles that include these composites. The fiber reinforced HPPC composite sheet material includes a glass laminate layer and a metal layer. The metal layer covers the unidirectional glass fibers in the HPPC composite while the glass laminate layer gives the composite mechanical puncture resistance, while providing a composite sheet material with Class A surface properties that is still lightweight.
