Probably not at this point. There is a world-wide shortage of Carbon Fiber
due to military needs. I've heard fabricators are actually going out of business due to their inability to find CF.

The above is true. Right now the red colored carbon fiber is next to impossible to find. The cost has almost tripled for the raw material.

I have about 4 yds of 2X2 twill which is the "Holy Grail" of CF fabrics that I am hanging onto for dear life. I was going to start offering some parts on Ebay, but that's been put on hold until I make sure I do all the stuff I want for my own car first.
