it would be pointless and expensive to make an entire new one from CF just so you can "Justify" that you are doing it for a specific reason so the rice police dont bust your ***. I bought a brand new Sail panel from Gm back in the day and it only weighed like 5 pounds, I dont think its gonna be much lighter. The OEM sail panel is Fiberglass. its already light.
-Now if you are going to just wrap it in cf for looks then I say go for it. I love cf. Id prob buy one if it was made.

It could also be painted if you aren't in the neighborhood for carbon-fiber and you would never know the difference.

It would be purely for looks. It should also cost significantly less than a GM piece for those of us who NEED to replace the sail panel due to GM's shoddy assembly.

I'd consider it, but I'm afraid that would be a little too much carbon fiber for me, even though I have a T-top car. I already have some stuff. Do you guys think it would be too much on my car?:

FRCs, Lid, battery cover:
Dash trim kit & door sills:
CAMARO letters and bowtie:
Charcoal gray stripes are NOT carbon fiber:

Yes, it's the RKsport CF grille. I am very happy with it. Fits perfect and great quality. I've had it on my car for about 5 years now. All my CF but the fuel rail covers and lid are from RKsport actually. 
The dash kit has since been discontinued though. I got all my stuff about 5 years ago.
