Default Carbon fiber sail panels

Anyone know where I can buy real carbon fiber sail panels other than ebay? How about carbon fiber sheets that can be trimmed for a reasonable price? If anyone knows your help will be greatly appreciated.

My ricer friend did some of that stuff on his maxima. He paid 80 bucks for 2 little strips. After a year the the carbon fiber strips started to get little spots of grey in it as the sun caused it to delaminate.

Point is, CF is for making things strong and light. Using it for looks is a fad. Like back in the 90s when we'd see the cars with tiny gold Datons with 3,000 spokes sticking halfway out the fenders. Do you want to be that guy?
