I thought about doing that as well (would have cost to much for me to do it though).
The only problem with CF is its associated with rice, which is too bad because the stuff is really freaking cool.
If I were you I'd carry the CF theme around the car, I'm pretty sure that RKSport makes CF Z28/SS badges, It would be a subtle little detail that would look cool IMO.

Who makes a full carbon fiber SS hood? I'd like to know weight difference between stock and that. I don't care if idiots call CF rice..I love it and it looks bitchin! It might be RK Sport that also sells a CF grill insert that looks pretty sweet too.

The "rice" conotation with CF derives from interior pieces covered in cheap over-lay, not real CF. Also, DO NOT get a fiberglass hood and have it wrapped in CF, which you see a lot. If you want something CF for the weight/strength aspect...get a real CF hood. Otherwise, its gay.
