Any parts available from VFN are available in Carbon Fiber.... You just have to call for princing. I have the 3" SS hood, in CF, as a bolt on, and it only ways 9lbs....... seems to be very strong also, as I had to do some clearencing and it does not seem to have weekened it any.

As of now there not making carbon fiber parts due to a shortage of materal.I talked to them at route 66 yesterday and he said check back in the fall.I seen someone on the board a while back buliding carbon fiber parts and the stuff look nice.I've tryed searching but no luck.

I know a guy in Canada who makes them for Firebirds but will make anything if you have a part to sacrifice. I'm not home or I would find his name and #...check back

I think the guy that was making that stuff called him self fabricator or something like that and he either didn't go through with it or was taking deposits and tried ripping people off. He was gonna do cf t-tops also.

I got my Joe Van O Hood & Wing from W2W. Nice quality materials, but they are not a bolt on piece if thats what you're looking for.
