VFN made me a carbon fiber hood. They just laid it on top of the fiberglass. It was $750 and came with a bunch of dings and imperfections. I wasn't very happy with it so I had a body shop fill in all the little holes and imperfections, sand it and paint it. Now I am happy.

C/F parts The only guys I'm aware of that will have what you need in lightweight carbon parts will be Joe VanOverbeek or Tim @cynergy composites . Tim's number is 519-245-0016. If you want "clear" carbon for looks its not their deal. They make race paintable stuff very ridgid and lightweight.
Hope this helps, Hutch

I'd attack the idea if I had sufficiant space for production of such large pieces. Unfortunately, I don't 
Give VHN a call. I know they work with fiber. They probably don't have what you're looking for on a shelf, but they certainly have the ability to make the parts.
